Leading New York facility Clinton Studios on 10th Ave. Mahattan, is particularly well-known for Studio A, one of the last big rooms on the east coast. Studio A is a large soundstage-style room that can hold up to 85 musicians. To compensate for the lively floor, the ceiling consists of acoustic treatment that graps the eye and ear. It is contained yet lively, and has pleased clients such as Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, James Taylor, REM and Celine Dion.

During this sampling session, all acoustic panels along the upper walls were turned to their lively side.
