Studio owner Greg Miner brings  twenty five years experience as a producer, recording artist and touring musician. He recently produced the late Tom Fuller’s Straight From the Heart album, playing many instruments as well as recording and mixing the release. "My approach is artist-centered, and combines a deep technical understanding with intuition and emotional insight. Every artist has a unique story to tell. My mission is to inspire you to your greatest achievements," says Miner.  

TEC Award-nominated Philharmonic Studios offers a comprehensive array of services with three rooms.. From recording and mixing across all genres, to scoring for film, gaming and television, our engineers possess a broad skill set and a passion for collaboration. "I visited Blackbird, Manifold Recording in North Carolina, and Skywalker Sound, and those three facilities were my key inspirations," says Miner.

 


Control Room A with API

 

Studio A houses a 4- Channel API 2448 all-discrete console, wth a spacious Live Room and three isolation booths.  Here you can record solo instruments to chamber orchestras, from jazz ensembles to rock groups. It is also well suited to intimate concerts, video shoots, podcasts and event hosting.  "

"ATC has been my reference speaker of choice for over 20 years. We value them for their sonic neutrality, low distortion, excellent imaging and their ability to translate well. From stereo to immersive, they inspire the utmost confidence. BTW we feature ATCs in all three of our studios," adds Miner.
