Pie Studios "...is about the music. . . and the people making it," says owner Perry A. Margouleff. Only 45 minutes from Manhattan by car or train, Pie Studios is located on the beautiful North Shore of Long Island, nicknamed the Gold Coast in the early 1920s.
Easily accessible from Manhattan, Pie Studios provides producers and musicians privacy and
distraction-free recording experience.

Established in 1993, the single-room
facility offers clients an intimate recording environment while maintaining a world-class level of technical excellence. Recognized for its collection of vintage equipment Pie proudly features the only fully-discrete Neve 8078 on the East Coast.

Here, record labels have the advantage of hosting their acts in the New York area at a fraction of the cost!

The facility offers an extensive array of classic outboard gear, amplifiers and musical
instruments. Alongside the classic gear and Studer machines, you'll find ProTools Mix Plus with 4 Apogee AD8000 convertors plus hot-swapable Glyph hard drives.

The spacious control room (26 x 20) offers clients an extremely comfortable
working environment. "Acoustically tuned by George Augspurger, it provides an
optimum level of acoustic accuracy," says Margouleff.

Studio monitoring is Augspurger Custom with Yamaha NS 10Ms, JBL LSR 28Ps and Genelec 1031As.

"The first time I walked into Pie Studios I noticed the casual and relaxed environment that's just right for getting inspired performances from an artist. With tons of old outboard gear, microphones and Massenberg automation on a classic Neve console;
there's a perfect balance between warm vintage sound and high-tech convenience. Most importantly, the sound that comes out of this place is as good as it gets," says Jimmy Bralower (Producer/writer/musician: Cyndi Lauper, Celine Dion, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Carly Simon, Hall & Oates and Diana King).
