001 — Who we are

We started this
to make records

We're Alexey and Alexandr Kazantsev — twin brothers who've been recording together since before it was a job. We built 331audio from the ground up. The whole team has been with us for years. We know each other's ears.

Co-founder

Alexandr Kazantsev

Recording Engineer · Gear Expert

Handles mic placement, signal capture, and all things gear. If something needs soldering, patching, or setting up before a take, that's Alexandr. Artists work directly with him in the room.

Co-founder

Alexey Kazantsev

Producer · Mastering Engineer

Oversees where projects are headed. Runs the analog mastering chain. Usually the one you'll be emailing.

The team
Session Drummer

Yuri Sokolov

Drums · Percussion

15+ years behind the kit. Yuri records drum tracks in any genre. Reliable session drummer with strong timing. Delivers clean, consistent takes.

Session Musician

Andrew Ryneisky

Guitars · Keyboards

40 years playing. Andrew covers guitars and keys and has a feel for arrangements that comes from genuinely knowing music — not just executing parts.

Arranger · Guitar Tech

Roman Isakov

Arrangements · Guitars

Does arrangements and keeps the studio's guitar collection in shape. If a session calls for something specific, Roman usually already has it figured out before the session starts.

Audio Engineer

Anton Meleshkevich

Tracking · Editing · Workflow

Runs the session workflow — tracking, comping, editing. Anton makes sure everything coming out of the room is clean and ready before it goes anywhere near mastering.

002 — Studios & Rooms

Four dedicated rooms

Mixing room, mastering room, and two live tracking rooms. Every space was designed and treated by us — we knew what we wanted before we started building.

Room 01
Mixing Room A
SSL Duality console · Studer tape
Room 02
Mastering Room
Neutral monitoring · analog mastering chain
Room 03
Live Room A
Treated acoustic room · tight sound
Room 04
Live Room B
Bigger room for bigger drums · natural reverb
003 — Selected Gear

Analog signal path

Console
SSL Duality

The SSL Duality sits at the heart of Mixing Room A — 48 channels, SuperAnalogue preamps, and the SSL bus compressor in the chain.

Tape Machine
Studer A827

24-track 2" tape. We use it when a session needs that particular kind of weight — saturation that's hard to fake any other way. Available on request.

005 — Drum Loop Libraries

Recorded in-house.
For drag and drop.

Every loop tracked live on a real kit by Yuri, through the full analog chain. We may use our own custom one-shot samples with drum triggers — no programming.
