Mercy Sound Recording Studios NYC

New York City Recording Studios We help people produce projects from concept through recording and mastering to CD artwork design and duplication.
(38)

Located in the Village, Mercy Sound Recording Studios was built to give rising musicians and songwriters access to the worlds best equipment and engineers for a fraction of the price of super studios. We have a large library of samples and sound effects for film and video work and do voice overs and musical soundtrack writing as well. Live room for all vocals and drums with extreme bass trapping a

nd totally silent air conditioning. Translation-we are recording stunningly punchy and tight drums with cymbals lower in the mix than in normal bright rooms. The Sound of the 60's 70's and 80's is back! We have two amp iso rooms specifically for guitar amplifiers. Room acoustics totally redesigned/rebuilt. Tightest sound in town now.

-At Mercy Sound, you always record on simply the best equipment ever made- BAR NONE

We record using Neumann U87 and U47 and AKG C12 mics through Neve, Retro and API equipment into ProTools Accel HD IO for recording, editing and mixing. We monitor through NS-10s, Klein and Hummel, ADAM and Legacy Audio mastering monitors for clarity, translation and power. Our production, mixing, and engineering staff are RIAA Certified with Platinum Records and have the following credits:
