The Belfry is a residential recording/mixing/mastering studio located only seven miles south of Syracuse, NY. It is the new center of operations for producer/recording artist, David Peters. In 2008, Singer/Songwriter, Timothy Daniel (Intellective Records), purchased the United Methodist Church of Cardiff and began converting the building into an artist's retreat. Tim invited David (a longtime friend and colaborator) to relocate from London in order to build and run a new studio. By August of 2008 sessions were in full swing at The Belfry Recording Studio.

The Belfry offers the best of both old and new in audio. Vintage tube equipment and analog tape blend their timeless, warm textures with the efficiency and versatility of modern computer-based recording. The studio offers some of the most famous and sought-after microphones and rack equipment ever made. The main recording room is spacious and inspiring. Two smaller rooms allow for isolation and lend their own individual sonic characteristics. A tack piano, century-old foot-pump harmonium, and a vintage lap steel are just a few of the Belfry's eclectic instruments waiting to find their way into your recordings.

The 150 year old country church is situated at the bottom of Apple valley, known for its beautiful orchards. Between takes, artists make themselves at home relaxing by the fireplace or catching some Zzzs in the guest bedrooms. A basketball court, walking trails, a stream, and picnic tables are right outside. For some extra excitement, city amenities is a short 10 minute drive away.

With its decidedly "analog and vintage tube" vibe, The Belfry is an ideal studio to mix and master tracks recorded at other studios or home recordings. When recording at the Belfry, artists gain access to a large family of session musicians of all types. The Belfry connects its artists great local talent and top players from Hollywood scoring stages.

In its first year of operation, the studio has already hosted award-winning artists from as far away as London, Los Angeles, and New York City, as well as some notable talent from the fingerlakes region. If you are looking for an affordable, creative escape for your next recording project, you have come to the right place.
