Gregory Town Sound

Lenny Kravitz recently opened his new recording studio Gregory Town Sound a hundred feet from the beach on Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas.  The studio began as a garage originally constructed to protect Kravitz’s belongings during hurricane season and has turned into what Kravitz’s calls “the most amazing studio that I’ve worked in”.

Not hard to believe.  If the location wasn’t enough, Kravitz also packed the place full of his incredible collection of vintage analog gear, including multiple pieces of equipment once owned by Abbey Road, but also uses CLASP (Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor) to seamlessly integrate that gear into his Pro Tools system.  Kravitz and his team of engineers can then easily use the assortment of analog tape machines essentially as effect units at any point in the recording/mixing process.

Perhaps the best part, is the fact that Kravitz reports that “the flow of writing is going well out here”, which hopefully means we’ll all be treated to some more of the great music Kravitz has become known for.
