Electric Kingdom Studios
State-of-the-Art Recording, Mixing, Mastering and Music Production
Multi-Platinum Producer, Engineer, Songwriter, Gordon Bahary has designed and built the dream recording studio in New York, Electric Kingdom Studios. The centerpiece to this magnificent private facility is a new Rupert Neve 5088 32-channel automated console, providing the highest analog audio quality available today. One of less than a dozen of this configuration in existence worldwide, this console was carefully chosen by Bahary from the array of consoles available today. The 5088 combines the warmth of yesterday — with the clarity and dynamic range of today. The much sought-after “Neve sound” has been trademark signature found on thousands of classic records – from the 60’s to today. The console includes a 32-Channel SwiftMix automated fader system for complex mixes, working seamlessly with Pro Tools and other DAW’s.
Combining this top-tier console with 50 of the best outboard Equalizers and Compressors available, 4 spacious live rooms, a customized Yamaha C7 Conservatory Grand Piano in impeccable condition, the ATC 45A Studio Reference Monitors, sought-after FET and Tube microphones — with Bahary’s ears and experience – make Electric Kingdom the dream studio for your creations. One of Bahary’s specialties is artist development and producing. He will take your home recordings and mix your tracks through the Rupert Neve console, unique converters, the top outboard gear, and his mixing process – and your product will sound much like you recorded it at Electric Kingdom
Jazz, orchestral works with strings, brass and woodwinds are being recorded at Electric Kingdom using the highest-quality gear made today, with room isolation for maximum control. The result is some of the best recording being made today…
Bahary is also a respected Mastering Engineer for 20 years, and with his tuned room, top-tier Lavry and Antelope converters, and outboard gear, he can realize the vision of the artist and producer, under one roof, preparing the music for release into the world.
