A classic big scale recording studio perfect for big drums, rock bands and acoustic music. Control room boasts a 48 channel Neve VR Legend console, recapped in 2014 with great help from Neve-guru Neil McCombie, giving you that ultimate analog sound to your tracks.
In combination with skilled producers, a wide variety of classic microphones, outboards, instruments and plenty of space to work and relax makes this one of the top studio locations in Scandinavia.
