The main orchestral room (which measures 4,400 square feet with 35-foot ceilings) will be able to accommodate up to 100 musicians. The new studio also contains 4 large isolation booths and a state-of-the-art control room (1,000 square feet with 16-foot ceilings). Right Track's expansion not only provides the important additional infrastructure needed to support the City's film, theater and music industries, but is also expected to produce approximately 100 full-time equivalent jobs for musicians, recording engineers and producers.

With the ever-changing entertainment industry and the introduction of new technology within the recording industry, state-of-the-art facilities are essential to maintaining New York's competitive position with other centers of film scoring, such as Los Angeles, Nashville and London.

Right Track Recording LLC, founded by CEO Simon Andrews in 1976, is one of New York City's foremost music recording studios. A world-class facility located in the heart of Manhattan's music district, Right Track provides recording facilities to an eclectic variety of music genres, from classical and jazz, to hip-hop and R&B, to Rock and Pop. With financing from the Fund and Fleet Bank, Right Track has expanded its operations with the construction of an orchestral-size recording facility in midtown Manhattan. Located on West 38th Street in one of the most rapidly developing areas in the City, this 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility will be available primarily to record film scores, Broadway musical soundtracks and various other large-scale recording projects.
