Background

The studio was established in 1998. I use the studio for music production and Online Mastering. The newest addition to the studio is the Institute of Audio Engineering, with facilities for classroom courses in music production - opens spring of 2010.

Location

The studio is situated on Islands Brygge, a wharf area in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. The studio is in an old warehouse from 1908, now host to Copenhagen Creative Center, Scandinavia's largest community of music studios, art galleries, design and video production companies.

Facilities

The studio consists of a finely tuned control room and an isolation room for vocal and instrument recording. The control room is designed by Ohlers Design and Holger Lagerfeldt. Check the gear list below.
