Our vocal mic is the Neumann U87 — the large-diaphragm condenser that's been a studio standard for decades: smooth, detailed, and flattering on every voice and genre.
Neumann U87 → Neve 1073SPX preamp → Tube-Tech CL1B opto compressor → UAD Apollo x8 interface. The same chain elite studios run, on every vocal session — no upcharge or tier gate. The U87 captures, the 1073 adds harmonic warmth, the CL1B controls dynamics musically, and the Apollo handles conversion.
It's on more #1 records than any preamp in history, and at Lush it's the default preamp on every vocal session. It gives vocals the thick, warm, forward sound you hear on classic records, so your takes sit up front in the mix before anyone touches a plugin.
Yes. Every room is camera-ready: one camera in the vocal booth, one in the studio room, plus a screen recording of the session in Logic. You can choose to record your entire session and receive the raw, unedited multicam video privately in your own Lush Music Vault, or livestream it if you want your fans watching live. Recordings are private by default: only you and your session engineer can see them, and we never post anything without your permission.
Our in-house team cuts vocals in Logic Pro on a UAD-powered chain (Apollo x8 with native and UAD plugins), and we have Pro Tools, Ableton, FL Studio and Logic available for any engineers and producers using the space. Studio monitoring is a Yamaha HS8 pair with Yamaha HS8s subs in a treated control room, paired with an isolated vocal booth. The adjacent event space runs a $10K QSC system — two QSC K12 mains and two QSC KW181 subs — plus a Sennheiser EW G4 wireless mic, for live playback, listening parties, and concerts.

An in-house engineer, the full vocal chain (U87 + Neve 1073 + Tube-Tech CL1B + Apollo x8), mic setup, comping, and a rough bounce of your session at the end.

Yes. Studio room rental is $50/hr with a three-hour minimum. It gives you the full chain to run yourself — bring your engineer, your producer, or operate it solo for cookups and demos. If you'd rather we engineer it, the $75/hr vocal recording rate includes our in-house engineer.

Yes — on-site parking is included with every booking, no validation needed. Use our private entrance on the right side of the building — the closest door to the front; you'll see a black door with the word Lush on it. The studio is on the ground floor and wheelchair-accessible through that entrance, with a private bathroom and a separate lounge area adjacent to the booth.
