The live room

The heart of Studio A. High ceiling, mostly wooden surfaces and a lively natural sound that brings out the best in acoustic instruments.

The room is big enough to record a full band at once, from jazz ensembles and indie bands to full drum kits and heavy guitars. It has character, but it does not lock you into one sound: movable panels and carefully placed room mics take it from tight and dry to open and huge.

An iso booth gives vocals, upright bass or a guitar amp their own space when you need separation. Persian rugs, warm light and a room full of vintage amps and keys do the rest.
