Analog Services
While the digital domain dominates the process of today’s audio production, analog is still a very widely used and highly desired tool in modern production. Analog gear like high-end mic pre’s, EQs, Compressor/Limiters, and even Tape Machines have become sought-out tools. Power Station Studios is lucky to have many of these desirable tools at their daily disposal.
Power Station Studios offers these tools as a part of our daily recording sessions within our studios and additionally offers them as part of our specialized Analog Services.
A selected list of Analog Services:
- Direct to Analog Multitrack Recording
- Analog Master Mixdown
- Analog “Pass-Thru”
- Mix-Stem Processing
- Analog to Digital Archival Transfer
From complete tracking direct to 2” Tape to passing individual tracks through the reels, or just processing your stems through our Rupert Neve Super-Analogue 9098i, let the warmth, fatness, and spaciousness of analog take your production to the next level!
Most of our “Analog Services” are available for Remote and Online Mixing. Be sure to see that section of our website for more information.

Description Of Services:
Direct to Analog Multitrack Recording:
Record directly to 2” (24-track) Analog Tape. For those who want the “full-vintage” experience, ask us about how we can service your analog options!
Analog Master Mixdown:
Mixdown to our Studer Master deck. Mixing direct to analog gives certain styles of music that special analog “punch” and “warmth.” Many top mastering engineers still prefer some styles of music mixed and delivered on analog tape.
Analog Pass-Thru:
Do you want the sound of analog on your individual tracks but want to avoid the cost of multiple reels of tape? Our “Analog Pass-Thru” service takes your digital tracks and passes them through the analog domain and back to the digital DAW. You then will have both the original digital track and the option of the analog version to choose from. We can pass your tracks not only through our tape machines but also have options to pass through our Rupert Neve 9098i console for that huge “Neve Transformer” sound!
Mix-Stem Processing:
Much like “Analog Pass-Thru” services but focused on “stems” in modern mix productions. Bring us your mix stems, and we can pass them through our analog console, the vast array of outboard gear, or a combination of both! Load in your drum stems, and we can process them through our outboard gear to further enhance your mixes.
Analog To Digital Archival Transfer:
Bring your analog reels to transfer to digital formats. This allows a secure digital safety copy and allows for easy access to old catalogs and content. Power Station has several tape machine formats to work in.
