The Document Room is a Neve equipped, single room facility. Elegantly designed, by Andre Champagne, the Document Room’s control room and two tracking spaces have been constructed with both efficiency and comfort in mind.

The centerpiece of the control room features a vintage 32 channel Neve 8068 completely refurbished by Fred Hill. "The 8068 is the ultimate in analogue consoles. It has an excellent open musical sound, with all the warmth of which Neve is known for " says studio owner Meskiel.

No worries. Located in the heart of Malibu, you're within walking distance from some of southern California's finest restaurants and shops.

"Keeping consistent with having our clients comfort always at the forefront, we offer private scenic Malibu lounges, private beach access, private bathroom with shower along with a producer's suite for those late nights," says J.T.
