Welterweight Sound is a world-class recording facility in beautiful Marlboro, NY in the mid-Hudson Valley. Built within a restored 150-year-old barn & adjacent cottage, the 3000 sq ft studio offers expansive live rooms, rare vintage recording equipment, and comfortable on-site lodging.
Whether you’re here for a recording session with local Hudson Valley musicians, visiting for a creative retreat, or looking for support with voice-over or post-production,
After nearly a decade operating the original iteration of Welterweight in New Paltz, owner and engineer Ryan Dieringer partnered with renowned studio designer Chris Bowman of CBHO Inc. to reimagine this turn-of-the-century barn and cottage as a combined 3,000-square-foot recording facility. It was designed to be able to accommodate any and all creative projects.
Welterweight is a creative partner in the Hudson Valley for all things sound.
Welterweight consists of two structures, each with their own benefits to your creative experience.
Studio A lives inside a fully renovated 150-year-old barn. It’s centered around a massive live room with an acoustically de-coupled control room, three additional points of isolation, and flowing sight-lines. At the heart of the studio is a 24-channel, 1970s Auditronics “Son of 36 Grand” 501 console
Studio B is housed within a cottage right next to the barn. It’s equipped with a 1970s Los Angeles–built Opamp Labs 1604 console and a sizable isolation booth, is designed as a standalone production studio, or an auxiliary space to record during a busy session. Studio B is also the site of comfortable lodging & amenities like a kitchen and full bath for artists staying on site
If you’re interested in the studio for an upcoming project, get in touch! I’ve included some more information about me and the studio, as well as an FAQ section that might just help move your process along. Having just opened the doors to the new studio in October, I’m having a blast breaking the place in and figuring out how best to serve the music/audio community in the Hudson Valley.
I always love meeting new creatives and discussing projects, so don't hesitate to be in touch!
