VSS is a recording studio of a new type

You get all the advantages of the new digital technologies but not their inconveniences. We use very high quality vintage analog hardware and that is the guarantee of a warm and vibrant sound, quite far away from the sterile and cold sound produced by digital technology only.

While producing a warm and lively sound through analog equipment, VSS has all the flexibility of up-to-date software programs and digital hardware. We are the best of both worlds !

As you will see from our list of equipment we can capture your sound with the utmost accuracy and reliability. Feel free to contact us for further details or a quotation.
