Studio G Brooklyn

What Studio G Brooklyn does

Studio G Brooklyn operates a 10,000 sq ft multi-room recording facility in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, comprising five specialized studios (A through E) plus an extensive shared equipment inventory. The facility serves professional recording artists, bands, and audio production professionals with services spanning tracking, mixing, mastering, overdubs, and immersive audio (Dolby Atmos). The studio is distinguished by premium analog and digital infrastructure including an SSL 8048 G+ console in Studio A, a vintage 1976 Neve 5316 40-channel console in Studio B, an ATMOS-equipped room in Studio C with 7.1.4 monitoring, and a Pro Tools HDX-based Studio D with ATC monitoring, alongside a library of hundreds of microphones (Neumann, AKG, RCA, Royer), vintage keyboards (Moog Minimoog, Mellotron, Fender Rhodes), and outboard gear from Neve, API, and Universal Audio.

The business is owned and operated by three equal partners — Tony Maimone (founder since 1994, former Pere Ubu member), Joel Hamilton (seven-time Grammy-nominated producer/engineer), and Chris Cubeta (joined as partner in 2015) — supported by a studio manager, staff engineers, assistant engineers, and freelance engineers. Revenue derives primarily from hourly or project-based studio rental with professional engineering services; a secondary merchandise stream sells branded apparel and accessories (hoodies, tees, mugs, hats, beanies, tote bags) through an integrated e-commerce storefront. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via email-based booking ([email protected]) and word-of-mouth referrals, with the company reporting no external institutional investment. The firm also operates a formal internship program as a talent development pipeline.

The studio's track record includes work on Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning projects with artists such as Paul McCartney, Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, Danny Elfman, Bonobo, Laufey, Highly Suspect, Pretty Lights, and The Black Keys, with Joel Hamilton recognized for engineering the Emmy-nominated McCartney 3-2-1 series. Customer acquisition runs almost entirely through personal networks and returning-artist relationships rather than paid marketing, and the studio does not publish session rates, requiring quote-based engagement via direct email.
