Welcome to Black Lion Audio. For the last few years, we've built a reputation for providing high quality sound in a cost-effective manner. Given the current economic climate, it's no wonder that major label project studios, audio software companies, and high-profile tracking and mix down engineers make up a significant portion of our client base.
You can hear our work on major television commercials for Fox and Chevrolet. Our work has been utilized by prestigious organizations such as The Los Angeles Opera, major label projects by Jars of Clay, and independent artists like Danielson Famile, David Bazan (Pedro The Lion), and mewithoutYou.
"The first time I used the Black Lion Auteur Mic Pre was recording Peter Asher (Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor) playing his mid-sixties Gibson J200 acoustic. The tone was incredible, with crystal clear highs, and a nice defined bottom end that wasn't muddy at all. The mid range was smooth, and we didn't need a bit of compression. I love my Auteur Mic Pre."
-Jay Ruston (Everclear, The Donnas, Meatloaf, Jars Of Clay, Morrissey)

The Genex GXA8 eight channel A/D converter is a favorite among many world renown mastering facilities and scoring stages. Praised for its thick, harmonic, analog-like sonic quality, the GXA8 is considered by some to be among the best there is when it comes to A/D conversion. Click here for the clips
