    Studio Console

    At ElectricLatteLand we take PRIDE in the QUALITY of our equipment! You need the best conversion possible to the digital realm. ProTools is great software. We use it for editing and signal processing. This is a place where 21st century digital editing meets old-school signal flow and tape machine know-how! For tracking we use a dedicated hard disk recorder, built for one purpose: making your music sound great!.

    It takes your music digital without suffering that huge quality loss you get with "price point" manufactured home gear. You can record 24 simultaneous tracks here, and you will notice the QUALITY of our board's high headroom preamps, with FULLY parametric EQ. Get it done HERE, at ElectricLatteLand, and sound PROFESSIONAL! Studio Pine offers a variety of format conversion options, to bring your old projects up to date or switch media types.

    Highlights include DAT, ADAT, HD24, CD/DVD, USB drives. Others available upon request. No matter what format you have and what you need, we do our best to keep your signal pure. We have three funtioning ADATS on hand, count 'em, THREE! and more available upon request, for old tape conversions to hard disk or Pro Tools. Who else has that?

    Randall Head / Marshall Cab

    We offer basic in-house mastering, and highly recommend taking the finals steps of music production OUTSIDE of the ProTools Box. Our DAT and HD24 have STUDIO quality converters that are meant to get a JOB DONE WELL rather than to hit a price point. The difference is clear! Come HEAR it from our speakers FIRST! Get all that fullness back into your kick drum and bass guitar! The bounce to a DAT tape will sound professional. Our DAT player's been modified with the latest A/D/A converters. Your music will stand out. You will sound REAL! (Yes, we can make you a master CD too, of course!)

    Top-notch mastering is also available by appointment, where stereo and eight-buss recordings are welcome.

    Drum Backline

    Styx Latté, a drummer in the local music scene, started his sound engineering career in 2002 while attending Drexel University for Music. After several years of doing live sound for bands, he invested in recording equipment that fit well in a live PA. Styx ran a recording studio for several years out of a modified room in a parking garage with partner Mike Gallagher, while continuing to build his sound system and his reputation as a live sound engineer.

    While the studio was recently shut down due to flooding, Styx has continued to find ways to serve clients’ needs by providing mobile recording services and continuing to deliver quality live sound at a rate competitive for the Philadelphia music scene. His relentless dedication to quality is sure to make your music stand out above the rest. Additionally, Styx is available as a session drummer and roadie. He can be found working the board at The Rotunda at UPenn, or subcontracting for corporate events with Reliant Staffing. Or he can be found covered in grease under his giant school bus in his spare time!

    Say 'hi' to Sebastian.


    Pup!

    Sebastian is about the cutest 4 month old puggle ever, but he loves to attack his leash while he emits impish sounds no other dog in my experience is capable of. He also likes to chew your pants. Bad Sebastian. No treat.
