Smash Recording has proudly provided services to the Music Industry for over 17 years. Artists from Rob Zombie, Dave Navarro, Lou Reed and Lenny Kravits to Lauryn Hill, Run DMC, and Kanye West have used Smash to help create world famous projects.

We combine state of the art equipment including Pro Tools HD and an API console with vintage flavored equipment such as Focusrite/Neve/API and Pultec mic pre's, eq's and compressors plus incomparable microphones such as Neumann U47 and U67 tube mics. Our pro gear and numerous large live room choices coupled with an excellent engineering staff have given Record Companies, Producers, World Class Musicians and Ad Firms the comfortable, professional, and high quality environment needed to create great music.

And... with prices that cannot be beat for a comparable product... Smash offers the striving musician/band the opportunity to record demos and full lengths where the pros do at a fraction of the cost you would expect.
