Cloud 9 Recording is a graduate of Mix Magazine's Class of '99! (June issue page 36)

Skylights allow the sun to shine into the control room at

Long Island, N.Y., Facility Cloud 9 Recording. The Studio,

designed, owned and operated by brothers Jack and Joe Napoli

(who, along with their father, also built it) opened in the fall of '98.

The floated control room houses a D&R Orion-X console, a

Sony JH-24 analog recorder, Pro Tools and 24-tracks of ADAT.

Monitoring is via Genelec mains, and the studio offers a large

selection of outboard and vintage mics, guitars and amps.
