The Magic Shop recording studio is appropriately named since it's impossible to tell where the music comes from. The source and technology of the sound is hidden behind doors, secret panels, an insight to Christopher Hedges' philosophy of instruments and technology being transparent to the creative process. All that matters is what you see and what you hear.

The Magic Shop has been involved in fully integrated soundtrack creation for twenty five years with the goal of enabling every aspect of technical and creative production. A perfect environment for surround mixing and screening, The Magic Shop recording infrastructure is based on a high definition ProTools HD system (192k 24bit) with the latest digital signal processing. The room was designed and constructed by Dennis Stearns who has also built private screening rooms for Steven Speilberg and George Lucas as well as Skywalker Ranch, Saul Zaentz Film Center, and many of the finest screening facilities and studios in the world. "Studio A" ( The Hagar Studio) features an array of Vella Research surround speakers which are among the highest fidelity speakers available. Paul Vella modified and optimised his speakers for the Magic Shop in consultation with Dennis Stearns. To the critical ear the results are at once transparent and spectacular. The room also features a seven foot drop screen and a video projector. The projector is permanently mounted in an isolated housing at the optimum focal length and angle for the screen.

Original music production, the Foley stage, ADR recording and a sound design library from location recordings around the world, make The Magic Shop a unique soundtrack production facility.
