A Little More About Second Take Sound
We're proud to be an independently owned-and-operated recording studio. For us, this means we value people first. We hold ourselves accountable for the betterment of our staff engineers, our clients, and the larger musical community and environment.
We're proud to be an independently owned-and-operated recording studio, a distinction that speaks to our accomplishments in making business decisions that underscore our values, but more importantly, hold us accountable to the work that lies ahead in terms of working for the betterment of our staff engineers, our clients, and the larger musical community and environment.
We partner with local schools and audio engineering programs to offer hands-on, educational internships that provide a rare opportunity to take part in meaningful work and build relationships in a world that has too-long existed "behind closed doors." We also do our best to work with clients of any budget, and always offer our honest feedback on the best ways to allocate time and resources on any project.
From interns & assistants to engineers & producers, Second Take Sound is made up of an ever-evolving and growing team. We are proud to say that everyone on staff here makes at least what MIT has calculated as the hourly living wage here in New York City.
Where It All Began
Second Take Sound began as a recording co-op, providing a place to make independent music in the center of one of the world's greatest cities. Before we had this facility, we had bedroom-studios and rehearsal spaces. Much has changed, but our early days and spirit laid the foundation for the studio we are today.
