Studio R is a private music studio in Tucson, AZ which provides professional music mixing and production services. It has ties with an array of nationwide artists for several production options for our clients. We use state of the art equipment and experience to provide our clients with high quality professional productions.

Our primary tool for mixing is a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 analog console. As a result, our mixes achieve unrivaled clarity, headroom and separation of sounds. The music industry evolved with this technology – tubes, transformers, and the nice warm gooey clear analogy sound you can’t get solely from a DAW and plugins.

Studio R is a hybrid music studio and uses Logic Pro X as the library for all tracks instead of tape in a traditional analog setup. We have a wide variety of plugins available including UAD, Plugin Alliance and others. Studio R also has a full library of sampled sounds using Native Instruments. These tools provide a variety of production options for our client’s mixes. During mix down, all tracks are sent through the studio’s analog gear. This means the mix is sent through the RND 5088, an RND 5059 for 32 channels of analog warmth and glue from stereo buss compression using an SPL Iron. Studio R also has analog gear to impart that tape sound to digitally recorded tracks provided by a client. As a result, these tape emulators add nice harmonic distortion and that “warm tape sound.” Our experience using these tools tops it off since having analog gear is important, but knowing how to use it is more important.

Studio R has the experience and top level professional gear to provide a superior sound for your mixes without the overhead costs of a big name brick and mortar studio.
