The best studios in NYC aren't always technically in NYC.

I like Pie Studios in Glen Cove (LI) and Water Music in Hoboken, NJ ...
both have discrete Neves (with GML automation at Pie), Augspurger monitors , big rooms, and lots of good outboard.

I also like Electric Lady studio a, which has a unique, dark, heavy sound in the room... although I don;t love the SSL,

and Magic Shop.. a smaller, deader room but a very comfortable place to work that sounds great as well. and another nice Neve (two put together, actually)

The new, big, Right Track room is great for strings and other large section overdubs.

Avatar Studio A is nice but not my favourite room... not as live as it LOOKS, and the Neve there shows signs of wear.
