Besides recording and mixing in various studios in LA, Nashville, Orlando, NYC and Europe, most of the creative work happens in Toby's midtown Manhattan STRAWBERRYBEE MUSIC studio. The studio is on the 12th floor of an old jewlery building on 46th street between Times Square and Grand Central, between Radio City Rockerfeller Center and Bryant Park, on restaurant row... The huge terrace features views of the Empire State Building.

The recording and sequencing is done on LOGIC 7. The outboard list features FOCUSRITE ISA 220, 215 and 430MK2 micpreamps and EQ's, TUBETEC compressor, NEUMANN mics, LEXICON reverbs,... and there's a YAMAHA 7 foot concert grand piano, some nice vintage guitars, GENELEC speakers with subwoofers, lots of synths, guitars and everything that's essencial for producing records...

 


Toby opened a second studio in 2006, located on the 11th floor of the same building. Staffed with five interns to take care of various production and maintenance tasks, Studio B allows Toby to concentrate on writing and working with artists. The studio is also used extensively by Toby's artists and interns for their own projects.

Also based around a Macintosh G5 running Logic 7, Studio B contains a Focusrite preamp/compressor, Alesis Reverb, Nuemann mics, Mackie HR824 monitors, and a Korg Triton LE workstation/controller.
