Studio B's 3-in-one arrangement makes this a highly flexible and versatile environment, able to perform many different tasks.

Sound Design & Additional Editing: Sophisticated 24-bit digital sampling and 12 different synthesis types are available for creative Sound Design and original sound effect creation. Utilizing it's V.A.S.T. system, the SCSI-equipped Kurzweil K2000S can be tapped for sampling, sculpting, editing, and pitch shifting sound effects. Working in tandem with one another, the Roland VS Workstations, V-Mixer, Alesis Studio 32, and Fostex 350 can provide efficient, high-quality off-line editing. Basic clean-up and other operations can be performed here as well.

Mastering: This suite also has CD Authoring capability, serving in either a primary or secondary capacity to the Main Production Suite with regards to Pre-Mastering/Mastering/Re-Mastering - depending on the needs of each project.

MIDI Production: Essentially a "creative MIDI workshop", this suite is also well-suited and equipped for music composition, scoring, arranging, and editing via MIDI instruments. With the Roland VS Workstations, and V-Mixer, tasks involving direct recording of various instruments and comprehensive Sound Design can be performed here. Additionally, Music Production parameters such as notation work and score publishing are accomplished here using Passport’s Encore 4 software.


Studio B is often unofficially and colloquially referred to as "Inner Sanctum", the "VS Suite", or "The Workshop".
