Freeborn Sound Studio is a modern, full service recording facility. Here, you have your choice of digital or analog recording, and I have chosen and configured all of the equipment here very, very carefully, to make sure that your signal path stays pure, clean, punchy, and phase-accurate. You have your choice of world-class digital gear for the cleanest possible signal, audiophile quality analog gear for warmth with impact, or vintage tube gear for that special character in your sound. Or any combination of the three! You can even choose from a variety of cheap-o mics, preamps, and effects, for an inimitable garage sound.
I am constantly improving, maintaining, upgrading, and revamping the equipment here, so the following list may have become obsolete before you arrive.
