In July we had the pleasure of having Herbie Hancock and his band at Carroll Studios for 3 days. Of course they sounded amazing and as usual the production staff lead by Bill Winn was super cool and very professional.
We are also proud to announce a new partnership with Arlan Harris Pianos! Arlan will be providing pianos from his stock for our studios. He has started us out with a Yamaha C3 for studio 3 and a beautiful Yamaha 9′ Concert Grand for studio 4, with plans to provide pianos for studios 1 & 2 in the near future. Arlan has been a top piano tech in NYC for 30 years, his list of accomplishments include serving as the head of the New York chapter of the Piano Technician’s Guild and serving as technician for a who’s who list of the top pianists, musicians and singers of all time including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Emanuel Axe, Evgeny Kissin, Vladimir Ashkenazi, and the list goes on. This is a very exciting development for us and we hope you notice the improved experience in our studios.

The Yamaha M7CL-32 Digital Console is a top-performance, easy-operation digital system based on the M7CL. This is one digital mixing console that lets you concentrate on sound without being overwhelmed by the technology.
- 48 or 32 mono microphone/line inputs, 4 stereo inputs, and 3 mini-YGDAI card slots (a total of 56 or 40 mixing channels).
- 16 mix buses, LCR bus, 8 matrix channels, and 8 DCAs assignable to 16 omni outputs.
- Virtual effect and EQ rack: up to 4 simultaneous multi-effect processors; up to 8 simultaneous 31-band graphic EQs.
- Centralogic™ interface: central, logical, and intuitive.
- Dual power modes: use the built in power supply, or add an external PW800W power supply unit (optional) for failsafe dual-supply operation.
- Compact and lightweight: 48 channels in the space and weight normally required for 24.
Centralogic™ Brings It All Together
Yamaha’s Centralogic™ interface takes the most direct approach to giving you maximum operational ease and efficiency in a digital console. Rather than trying to simulate the feel and workflow of an analog mixer, Centralogic™ goes straight to the heart of the matter, simplifying digital operation to the point where it is actually as intuitive as analog … if not easier. A touch-panel display combined with Yamaha’s acclaimed selected channel concept and a straightforward navigation system – no layers, one-function physical controls, and all digital controls can be accessed through just two main display screens – lets you focus in on any operation directly and instantly. In fact, the entire 32-channel or 48-channel console can quite easily be operated from the 44.2-centimeter-wide (that’s a little over 17 inches) Centralogic™ section alone.
A TIMELESS CLASSIC that will never go out of style. In the ’80s TAMA’s Superstar and Imperialstars reigned supreme – the perfect drums for the times. But TAMA’s builders and designers wanted something that transcended trends, something timeless – drums that “understood” a player’s passion and allowed the expression of every genre, style, mood, and technique. They created Starclassic Maple…and ignited the thin-shell revolution.
It’s the SOUND! DeMorrow instruments use only the highest quality Honduras rosewood bars, rather than cheap Padouk just to lower the price. The DeMorrow 4 1/3 Octave Marimba uses brass, round resonators because it results the best sound over the full range.
The Orchestral Concert Grand Piano Model D-274 and the Concert Grand Piano Model C-227 are the “crowning glory” of Steinway’s artistic creativity. The Steinway D Grand Piano is the overwhelming choice of concert artists and educational institutions throughout the world.
As you can clearly see, we have decided to rebuild our website and make your online visit to Carroll Music, a better experience!
