The design of the studio was done together with the engineer Josep Maria Riera, who has a lot of experience in issues related to sound insulation and conditioning.
You will find all the detailed information in our Studio section and you will be able to know the complete list of the equipment that we have to record, edit, refine, mix and master.
We have a wide range of microphones that you can consult in the Studio section of our website.
This depends a lot on the type of recording you want to make.
- For Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, Pop, or voice recordings, we will only need one room. You will need to prepare your microphone with the track to be recorded and get to work.
- For Bands, Choirs, Jazz or other types of group recordings, we will use all the rooms in the studio. We will prepare the microphone with the monitoring system, the recording session in the Pro Tools and we will start recording. We work very closely with artists to achieve a perfect end product.
An audio engineer is a professional with the skills to get the best results, with the equipment at his disposal, from any singer, instrumentalist or musician he records.
During recording sessions, an engineer can take on two roles depending on what the artist needs and wants. An audio engineer can have the role of producer or co-producer to help the artist develop their music and define their sound. Or you can just record the artist and just stay tuned that everything referring to the technical part goes perfectly.

It will be a pleasure to help you focus on your music.
In the music industry, a producer is a figure very similar to what a director in a film would be. We like to consider ourselves as those who help you direct and define your music, with criteria you may not have considered.
Our intention is to get all the juice out of your subjects.
In our case we can help you from the recording of the voice, to achieve a good result in the execution with the help of a vocal coach.
The mixing process begins when all parts of your music have already been recorded and edited individually. It is a process in which the levels are adjusted, the instruments are equalized, audio compression is used, the instruments are distributed in the stereo space and depth is added to it with the effects. The mixing is the part of the production in which your music will be defined the character it needs to have.
The music you have recorded needs to have a character of its own. In the recording, you spent time getting good audio shots and making the instruments the best played, but all this, you always did paying attention to very small details. In post-production, it’s time to open the focus and shape all of these sounds, so that they all work well together, to form a song.
Mastering is the last process of the musical production of a song or group of songs before sending them to the factory and which consists, above all, in that they can be played in any medium, CD player, radio, car, phone, headphones, bluetooth speakers, streaming, etc.
The mixing is what will give character to your songs, with the mastering, we will make each song sound fantastic, giving the same color to the other tracks on your album.
A session musician is the one who is able to play the scores the producer needs for the songs he is working on.
We work with different trusted freelance session musicians.
