In 2016, this mastering studio sought a new beginning, a fresh studio and a fresh design. They enlisted John Brandt, an American architect, designer and acoustician, who has been working in the music industry for over 40 years. By January 2017, work had begun on the new studios, which opened in March. Light and airy, the new design features a crisp aesthetic, with clean lines and light materials.
Built around an API 1608 mixing console, light woods and greys are the prominent colours, with soft lighting and minimal clutter, helping to create the perfect acoustics. Two ATC SCM 100 monitor speakers dominate the walls directly facing the mixing desk, providing massive volume with awe-inspiring composure – perfect for the job.
Working in a recording studio involves lots of sitting, so getting the seating right is an important component of the design. They went with the RH Mereo as the chair of choice for the studio, installing several for use during recording and mastering sessions.
The Mereo offers uncompromising ergonomics providing support and comfort for extended periods of use. Easily adjustable, its versatility also lends itself to multiple users, great for hosting different artists co-piloting on the sessions. It also looks good, utilising the new grey back Mereo design to match the colour scheme.
And what’s the verdict on the project as a whole? “My new studio has become better than I could have ever hoped for. By far the best studio I’ve worked in. Both the control room and lounge have a very nice atmosphere with lots of wood, light colours and daylight.”
