Audio Production house Bar1 (www.bar1nyc.com) has moved from the now closed HSR Studios to a new location in Manhattan, taking over the Penthouse of the legendary Clack Studios at 56 West 45th Street. “We love the history here, Tom Clack was an audio genius, and we’re happy to be carrying on the legacy” says owner Joe Barone.
Bar1 will continue to offer their clients the high quality service they have been bringing to the industry since 2006. In addition to voice casting and radio production Bar1 will be expanding their TV mixing department. The new facility allows for updated mixing and viewing rooms with surround sound. “We’ll also keep doing original music because it’s so much fun and where Tim’s roots are.” Tim, of course, is Tim Leitner, mixer extraordinaire and Bar1 co-founder. Tim’s past work has included collaborations with the likes of Carly Simon, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. “Nobody in this city has ears like Tim” adds Barone.
In addition to Leitner the Bar1 team includes Casting Director Dawn Mjoen, Executive Producer Jill Cheris, Audio Mixer Drew Fuccillo, CFO Donna Barone and Office/Client Service Manager Maria Rogic.
Bar1’s new studio hosts three state of the art mixing rooms as well as a casting studio and an impressively vast outdoor space, where weekly happy hours will be the norm. “We’ll be toasting our clients rain or shine” promises Barone. “We want to make sure they know how much they are appreciated.”
