A creative space with a warm vibe and Big analog tone!

    Established 2010.  Owned by Lightning Boy Audio, LBA Studios is a 40-track professional recording studio focused on delivering high quality audio with an inspiring analog sound.  LBA is fully equipped with a large collection of vintage and modern pieces of professional recording equipment.  The centerpiece of the studio is a beautifully restored and upgraded AMEK Big 44 analog console with automation, total recall, and computer controlled analog dynamics.  A real ear catcher is the studio's Otari MTR-12 analog reel-to-reel tape recorder, which often gets used for mixdowns and for Mastering.  When it comes time to record, there are multiple rooms with video communication and personal audio mixers for your headphones.  It's a comfy vibe just a short car ride from Buffalo, NY.  Click here for directions.     
    LBA Recording Studio primarily provides music production, recording, mixing and mastering services for all genres of music.  Band photography is also available upon request.  Lastly, the studio serves as a real-world test bed for Lightning Boy Audio products and prototypes, which are designed and built upstairs in the lab.  This custom gear helps define the studio's genuine sound.  If you're looking for a polished sounding, professional recording experience without the crazy price tag, look no further.  Email info@lbastudios.com to book or tour the studio.
