The Doghouse NYC Studios

My new favorite place to record– totally unlike anywhere else I’ve been.
You’d never know from outside (which honestly looks like a dump) but walk through the door and it’s beautiful. Amazing actually.
Aside from great gear and instruments (Ill get to that) the setup is totally unconventional –in a good way… a totally musical environment. It’s one room broken up into 3 with good sight-​lines, no control room or computers (well actually, the wall is a giant screen). Anyhow, its sorta hard to explain but It really works.
I was greeted by the owner and one other staff member who were really friendly, attentive and smart. The instruments are seriously great… if you play piano, you’ll have a hard time leaving. I walked away with great drum sounds as well, not to mention some other surprise goodies that are scattered around, like an ancient pump organ and a bunch of other random stuff. This place is my new secret weapon. (and the price is right) Highly recommended.

Instead of a home studio trying to seem professional, these guys are a professional studio that feels like a home studio. Great vibe, one of the best pianos around, and they took great care of us from start to finish. Highly recommended!!!
