about Our Equipment

Abbey West Recording uses a mixture of analog and digital gear to achieve a fresh new sound with an old-school feel. We achieve this by using a variety of analog preamplifiers that feed directly into the Digital Audio Workstation. It’s the best of both worlds!

Check out the Gear list below to see what else Abbey West Recording uses for its arsenal of sound.
