Take us through the process of setting it up –
Located in Thane, we noticed how centrally located
artists and creators in Mumbai had a tough time finding
premium recording quality and jam room facilities closer
to home & that’s where we stepped in. Our core value has
always been to be a one stop shop for everything audio!
Next, we got on board acoustic consultant Rahul Samuel
who worked in tandem with our interior designers to give
us a studio space which will transport you both aurally &
aesthetically! Co-founded by members of Paradigm Shift, a
progressive rock act from Mumbai, we wanted the studio
to be able to accommodate to indie bands & give them
access to top notch recording and production facilities. Our
multiple -room set-up is such that it can also host music
video-shoots as well as listening sessions & intimate gigs!
What are some of the studio essentials you would recommend?
Loads of coffee! Definitely invest in good preamps,
DAC and monitors along with a proper HVAC system
accompanied by great acoustic treatment.
What equipment do you use?
We house a wide range of gear, each
dedicated to a particular room.
