3treated rooms
The space
A brick studio built for listening
The studio occupies the ground floor of a brick building in the Amidonniers district. Three rooms were rebuilt on floating floors: a 38 m² live room with exposed brick walls, a control room overlooking the live room and a vocal booth treated for singing, dubbing and voiceover.
We work with few people at a time: one session, one team, one engineer. That leaves time to listen, retake without pressure and back up every session properly.
