The perfect place for music/

Studio A

Studio A is a purpose built residential studio, designed by US studio designer Ric Vaughan in 2009. Besides the stunning views and scenery, the studio has become known for its natural and controlled sound, a result of solid Norwegian pine wood floors, high ceiling, non-parallel walls and carefully placed acoustic panels. Here you can record killer sounding drums, delicate string ensembles or tight vocals.

The spacious live room has panorama windows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Triple glazed windows, along with floating walls/floors and grass roof, makes it possible to record a quiet piano passage during the roughest weather. The two iso booths are treated to be fairly dead, but the acoustics can be further controlled with extra absorbing curtains. They are also equipped with double sets of triple glazed wood frame doors, providing virtually complete sound isolation to and from the main live room.

The carefully designed control room has a natural open sound. It’s uniform around the room and has a tight low end. There is plenty of space for musicians to be fully involved in the recording and production process. It has powerful, but quiet air condition system giving a comfortable environment. Another unique feature is a doorway leading directly to the beach outside. Always handy should a difficult moment arise.

Studio A is designed with flexibility, ease of use and good sound in mind. Here you can work with our Pro Tools HDX system or easily connect your laptop via thunderbolt to the Apogee Symphony MkII interfaces and access the studios vast recording capabilities.

We also love working with tape, and we have both multi-track and 2-track tape machines here. Whether you want to do a full analog recording and mix from start to finish, or just transfer your tracks to tape for some glorious tape saturation, we got you covered. In addition, we do tape baking and transfers of old tape.

In terms of gear, Studio A has a wide variety of high end microphones and outboard equipment available, a pristine Yamaha C5 grand piano, and at the heart of it - a Rupert Neve 5088 Shelford console. If you’re traveling from afar, you can leave your instruments and amps behind, and pick out whatever you desire from our extensive backline list.
