Studio Rooms

The Tile Room

Directly off the right of the mixing suite are two rooms dedicated for specific types of recording. The Tile Room features a tiled floor and shaped mahogany walls that have been wet-bent for acoustic funkiness. Tons of tracks have been laid in this room, including everything from solo violin to almost all of the acoustic guitar tracks. It creates the ease of playing or singing in a tiled shower, with all odd frequencies and lobes controlled accurately.

The White Room

The second room is The White Room. This is the driest room in the building and is used for guitar amp isolation, dialogue recording, rap, character voices, or talking books. This room absorbs all early reflections and flutter echoes and has zero reverberation.

The Blue Room

Off the left of the mixing suite is the main vocal room dubbed The Blue Room. It is a long, non-parallel wall room with oak flooring and movable acoustic panels for specific tuning. Some classical music vocals will be tuned for a medium length natural reverb, while pop vocals will be tuned so the room is much dryer and clean.

The Main Room

The Main Room has recently undergone its third architectural change and is the largest studio room in central Minnesota. It's high vaulted ceilings and mahogany sheeted walls provide ample reverberation while maintaining clean articulations into the microphones. Risers are available for "everyone in the same room" approaches, or members can be split out into other rooms, which are visible from the main room.

The Drum Room

Directly off of the main room is The Drum Room. This room allows separation of the drummer, and isolation if desired. But with the front doors open to the main room, it simply quiets the drums enough to maintain a quality, low-level headphone mix while keeping the drummer close to the band.
