Studio A · The Press

The Press

Our flagship tracking and mixing suite. The Press combines a sweeping live room with a precision-tuned control room for bands, ensembles, and ambitious productions.

Built for large-format sessions

The Press is the heart of Island City Studios. It was designed around immersive live tracking, with crystal-clear sight lines between the control room and an expansive live room that adapts to any ensemble. Variable acoustics, isolated booths, and a carefully curated signal chain make it a favourite for producers who want scale without losing intimacy.
