The Community
Our studio is located in the Gaswerksiedlung in Rummelsburg. This residential area built-in 1926 in the Dutch style for the then employees of a gas coking plant has been developed since 2018 as a huge complex for "creative industries and small service companies". With more than 6000 m2 and 300 "Gaswerkers", it is located next to the Berlin Funkhaus and offers, among other things, a large green space, a café, a cantina and even a fantastic Biergarten with live music.
The Booth
The recording room was designed with the purpose of delivering the best possible acoustics to the musicians during the recording sessions. The versatility of this 18m2 room allows us to record either in parts or live with the possibility of varying the reverberation depending on the objective. In addition, our 24 x 6 multicore allows us to track up to 24 channels simultaneously through our analogue console and record them straight in pro tools.
The Ship
The control room is our main workplace. In this space of 22m2 is where we hide much of our most precious toys. In order to achieve the necessary acoustic parameters that allow us to enjoy a perfect sound distribution, it was necessary to work with the best acoustics, both in the design phase and in the construction. This is how a varied combination of absorbers, diffusers and bass traps come together to deliver a room without colourations, balanced frequency response and a reverberation time of the order of 0.22 seconds and a music clarity (C80) of 27 dB.
