Sound Pure's Recording Studio in Durham, NC

Sound Pure is a top-level professional recording studio, but also a place to demo and purchase the finest Professional Recording Equipment available, and a place to purchase the Finest Hand-Built Guitars and Amps currently being built. Sound Pure provides the best advice and service for your individual equipment needs, and provides assistance improving the performance of the gear that you already own. Sound Pure’s multi-room Studios feature a nearly 1,000 square foot live room sufficient to handle orchestral-sized productions, coupled with a large A-Control Room available for large recording seminars and clinics. The large live room features an immaculate new 7-foot Steinway Grand Piano, Hammond B3 Organ with Leslie 47 Speaker, a Fender Rhodes Mark I and a Wurlitzer Model 200A Electric Keyboard. Both Control Rooms have Pro Tools HD-3 rigs, with an elaborate outboard collection, centered around a Digidesign D-command (Studio A), or Toft 32-Channel Analog console (Studio B). All studio room acoustics carefully combine beautiful weathered and exposed masonry-brick from the building’s original early 1900’s shell, coupled with carefully placed rough-sawn lumber, and a fabric (faux) ceiling. The rooms feature slat-wall absorption, with diffusive properties, that redirect sound up to the elaborate ceiling bass trapping system (with 36 inches of vertical acoustic insulation/treatment above the faux finished ceiling) creating an acoustically neutral, but very musically appealing sound. The facility includes lounges, offices, warehouses, 2 kitchens- most rooms are also wired with built-in microphone wall boxes. Even the all-masonry, untreated studio lobby featuring 750 square feet of an outrageously live “wet” sound, and the entryway with near 30ft ceilings are both wired with microphone inputs.

The Sound Pure Recording Studios are a rotating platform of the latest and best trends in modern recording techniques. The microphone locker is vast, as is their collection of the latest outboard microphone preamps, EQ’s, compressors, and other processors. As a studio connected to the Pro Audio Sales business, there is not a computer audio plug-in that they don’t have, or can’t get. There is no better place that can tailor an optimal signal path for your recordings, or help you select the best equipment for your own personal purchases, whether it be guitar gear or recording devices.
