Music studio control room with speakers, monitors, DJ equipment, and a computer showing digital audio workstation software.

Where natural light meets pristine sound.

Most studios make you choose between great acoustics and an inspiring environment. At Blackwood Drive, you get both—a warm, light-filled space designed to fuel creativity while delivering the sonic accuracy your music deserves.

Work Your Way: Bring your laptop and treat us like your creative home base, or dive into our full setup. Either way, we're built for efficiency without sacrificing quality.

Monitoring That Reveals Everything: Our custom Ex Machina mains—handcrafted by our neighbors down the street—paired with pristine Apogee converters give you the clarity and precision to make confident mix decisions. We've also got Yamaha NS10s for that essential midrange check and a JBL 5.1 system for surround and film work.

Recording Refined: Our custom vocal booth maximizes isolation and comfort while maintaining clear sightlines to the control room. The front end stays clean and modern, but when you want character and warmth, we've curated vintage gear that adds exactly the right color to your sound.

Built for Film: With our 70-inch Sharp reference monitor, film projects get the visual precision they need for accurate editing and mixing to picture.

The bottom line: Everything here serves the music—and the experience of making it.
