Here at Sabella Studios, we know our gear is great. From our unique collection of vintage and modern microphones, our custom amplifiers, and analog/digital processors, but what we believe is our greatest asset is experience. With over 35 years of experience in business, we know we're still around for a reason. Regardless of your budget, it's our quality that counts, and we put our reputation on the line every day. We've worked on countless hits, and know how a real record is made. We know that by being musicians ourselves we can properly relate to what our clients want and deserve. Why not record with the best?

 
The Neve Console
 

Evanescence Platinum selling record recorded with Neve . . .

Artist Ricky Lee records thru Neve and Nuemann (U47).

Wyclef Jean uses Neve gear.
"I like Neves. I love the pre's, EQs, compressors...those were the things we were looking for."

If a singer prefers a certain mic, Massenburg puts it up first, along with his Neumann U67.

Jimmy Douglass uses either the onboard Neve VR preamp, a Neve 1073 or a Focusrite.
