Kitchen Sink Studio

Bio:

THE KITCHEN SINK is a state-of-the-art recording studio, in a very relaxed environment. It's not "just another" Pro Tools - based studio! At the Kitchen Sink we approach recording with an old school attitude, combined with the flexibility that comes with using the latest digital technology.
Located in Chupadero, NM (in the Sangre de Christo mountains, just north of Santa Fe), the studio occupies a rambling adobe house, and is operated by musician/engineer/producer Jono Manson.
The Studio has a large live tracking room, an adjacent "B" tracking room (also called "the lounge") and a 48 square-foot "dry" isolation room, great for vocals and acoustic instruments.
Guest rooms and a full kitchen are also available for clients who want to come to New Mexico, stay, and record.
