Welcome To The Jungle

When looking for a top of the line recording studio in New York City’s urban jungle, you simply can’t go past Jungle City Studios. The impressive four-room facility is nestled amongst NYC’s famous skyline on the 10th floor of a mid-town building, with sweeping views of the city surrounds.

Long-time engineer and studio coordinator for Alicia Keys, Ann Mincieli, is the JCS Studio Director, who has dedicated much time to developing the studio and its catalogue of equipment, turning it into one of New York’s finest studios.

One of the larger studios is the 2400 sq foot Penthouse East, a retro-futuristic room that perfectly blends vintage and modern gear that will accommodate any project and sound. With custom Dual 15″ Augspurger monitors, a 48-input SSL Duality Console and a vintage EMI TGI12345 Mark III Console (one of only 20 built for EMI Studios in Europe) this room is ideal for recording, mixing, video shoots or private events.

On the opposite side is the equally impressive Penthouse West, which mirrors its Eastern counterpart with the same SSL Duality  and vintage EMI TGI12345 Mark III consoles. The custom Dual 15″ Augspurger monitors were built specifically for the dimensions of both Penthouse rooms and are perfectly complimented by Pioneer 1801 Subwoofers powered by Bryston Amplifiers.

In addition to the two larger spaces, JCS has two mix/overdub/production suites, the North Studio and South Studio.

The North Studio was designed with mixing in mind, equipped with a 32-input Avid D-Control and Pro Tools HD4 with Expansion Chassis, and centred around Digi design’s Icon D-Control. It also features gear from the likes of EMI Chandler, Antelope, Augspurger and Pioneer, making it the perfect studio for your mixing or vocal recording needs.

South Studio is one of the most versatile rooms in NYC, with custom work counters, perforated absorbing diffusers, and acoustically-tuned walls covered in Louis Vuitton fabric – talk about luxury! A dual functional Euphonix S5 Fusion console sits at the heart of the room, which uses Avid’s latest Madi Converters. With a slew of outboard gear, effects processors, all the latest plugins and custom 15″ Augspurger Main Monitors and 18″ Pioneer Subwoofers, you can be sure to get the best mix every time.

The best sounding rooms, comprehensive and high-end gear specs, breathtaking city views, luxurious lounge spaces – this studio really has it all! When recording here clients can expect the best of everything, including the five star service from Ann and the entire JCS team, so it’s no wonder this is a studio favourite for artists like Alicia Keys, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Kanye West and Rihanna.
