EUSONIA STUDIOS

State-of-the-Art Digital
Meets Vintage Analog in NYC

HOME OF TRUE SOUND

In the heart of Manhattan sits one of New York City’s most unique recording environments. State-of-the-art digital meets vintage analog, 2023 meets 1971, bits and bytes meets tubes and tape. The word Eusonia means “Home of True Sound,” and since 2000, Grammy-winning Producer/Engineer Scott Jacoby’s Eusonia Studios has been a go-to creative destination for the world’s leading major label and independent artists.

A highly vibey studio in the heart of Manhattan, wall-to-wall gear

– SONIC SCOOP

The Grammy Award winner doesn’t limit himself, playing multiple roles in his New York City-based Eusonia Studios

– MIX

A production concept is something that happens in 30 seconds, and the next 50 to 100 hours is the articulation of that

– TAPE OP

Songwriter/Producer/Engineer nurtures a new label and studio in Manhattan

– PLAYBACK

Going by his list of credits and awards, Jacoby should have few regrets

– SOUND ON SOUND

Avalon, API, Manley and Neve mic pre’s; numerous newer and custom mics; and a toy chest of keys, synths, guitars

– MIX

The only thing that’s happened with gear is I kept getting more of it
