Continuing to catch up on this build blog.
Setting the glass in the iso booths of studio 1.
Our first session in the new space was for a commercial and had us recording a drum kit, a string quartet, piano, a horn section, a choir and then ending the day with lead vocals and mixing. It was fantastic to have the space to have mics set up for all of these instruments and not have to tear down one to record the next. We heard many compliments from the musicians about the rooms and how great it was to play in them.
The next day we started working on an EP for the band I Don’t Know How But They Found Me.
The problem, however, was that construction wasn’t quite complete. Finally the new sheet of glass for studio 1 had arrived. So we kept recording drums and asked them to do their best to nail on beat, that’s true.
Final cleaning of the glass for the tracking room of studio 1.
Setting the ATC150s in control room 2. We went with the same monitors in both control rooms to hopefully make mixing as compatible as possible between rooms.
Getting the instrument room closer, still need to get another drum rack set and some more organizing.
Setting the trim for the studio 2 window.
Studio 2 glass going in.
