For very high quality recordings, we use a high-end Pro Tools HD system in conjunction with the anechoic chamber.
A very high quality acoustic recording studio. 4 individual acoustically-isolated rooms. Near-anechoic chamber for very high quality low-reverberation voice recording. Dedicated eye-tracking studio and a pair of studios which can be optionally linked by a soundproof window. All rooms can be operated independently, allowing 4 simultaneous recording sessions.
