Tainted Blue Recording Studio is a one-of-a-kind music and event facility located in the heart of Times Square, New York. For years, Tainted Blue was part of the legendary QUAD Studios and has played home to recording artists such as Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, Coldplay and more.
In 2005, current owner Andrew Koss purchased, and fully renovated the space using notable studio designer, Larry Swist. As a result, Tainted Blue nowhouses one of the most aesthetically pleasing and acoustically balanced rooms in NYC.
Our loft-style penthouse facility is best known for its exclusivity, flexibility and relaxed, but sharply modern décor. We have one-of-a-kind partnerships with sponsors including: Arizona Iced Tea, Blue Microphones, Gibson Guitars, Livestream, Sonicbids, Fanbridge, The Orchard, Maxim Magazine & Blender.com.
Our gear-list, is quite impressive and our control room plays home to a brand new, customized Euphonix System 5 console. In addition, we are the only room on the East Coast with an Antelope Atomic Clock on the recording end that eliminates jitters and balances out recordings.
We value our client relationships and understand that each project is different and so is each budget. Our booking process is simple, and for larger projects, we are happy to discuss multi-day lockouts.
