LIVE ROOM:

The studio has an oak floor and is tuned for well behaved acoustics with two huge corner traps, acoustic panels and diffusion. The general ambiance is flexible leaving plenty of versatility. You can choose from a hard mirrored wall sound or pull the curtain to obtain a softer touch, drums on the live sounding oak floor or with a rug. We also have a range of gobo's with hard and soft sides which can be used to manipulate the amount of bleed between instruments when recording live.

You can adjust your headphone levels yourself from the live room. Communication in the booth between artist and the control room is easy.We also have a 17inch flat screen monitor for easy voice over auto-cueing.
