Equipment at West Valley Studio
Designed for solo-artists and small groups with an emphasis on pop, rap, and singer-songwriters.
Rode NT2-A Microphone
We chose this microphone because of it’s professional versatility and modern sound. The frequency and transient response of the NT2-A’s transducer has been tuned to stand-out with today's modern recording techniques.
Australian-designed and manufactured, the professional 1” large diaphragm of the Rode NT2-A is ideal for creators who want the quality of modern technology and versatility to sound professional when recording vocals, acoustic guitar, or any other instrument.
Shure SM57 Microphone
No studio is complete without the iconic Shure SM57.
This microphone isn’t as detailed or crisp as the Rode NT2-A but the tight isolation of the SM57 means you can capture the subtle details of a specific sound or instrument without interference from other instruments.
The tight isolation makes this microphone ideal for recording the subtle detail of guitar strings over the neck of the guitar, or the plucking of a harp, or a vocal that doesn’t need the detail and crispness of the NT2-A.
280 HD Pro & ATH-M50x Headphones
The most important characteristics of recording headphones are isolation and undistracting detail.
These closed-back headphones offer warm and detailed feedback without any risk of bleed while recording.

The Scarlett 18i20 is necessary for providing recordings with an ultra-low noise floor and the clarity and warmth needed to meet the standards of Spotify, Apple Music, and Audible.
