"STUDIO 7" is Ron West's own private recording studio. The studio consists basically of 24 Digital Tracks of Alesis ADAT, a 24 Track /8 Bus Mackie Mixer, JBL 4311 Mix boxes, Event 20/20 Bi-amped Monitors, a host of TLA and ART (tube) compressors and EQ's, a large selection of mics from AKG to NEUMANN, Full Computer to ADAT sync, using the new Motu 2408 unit, Midi systems, Proteus, Alesis and Roland sound modules, Yamaha keys, work station and Yamaha CP70, a good selection of Alesis, Roland, and Yamaha Digital effects units, Drum machines, D-5 Alesis drums, Digitech vocal enhancers, Sony Dats, 8 banks of compressors and gates, Fender Bass, Gibson Les Paul's, Acoustic Guitars, Cakewalk 9, Sound Forge software,
Waves and many other packages of digital recording and mastering software, 100w and 50W Marshall amps and stacks, Digitech Guitar modules, AND.....The list goes on and on.............Just Ask.

The studio was built so that Ron West would have a place to record and write, but it is sometimes available on a very limited basis for other projects that look as though they have potential.

Ron also trades equipment back and forth with his brother Gary West who has a vast collection of great gear and his own 24 Track (2"tape- MCI) Analog studio. This cuts down on duplication of equipment purchases and allows both studios too have a great choice of available gizmos. Gary West's studio will be outlined in the section called "Studio West."
