Room within a room design
The brand new CSS studios are acoustically balanced and incorporate ‘room within a room’ design, ensuring the perfect recording, mixing and mastering environment.
Optimal sound achieved with strategically placed Acoustic Panels
All rooms are fully covered with specially designed, custom made, rockwool panels, strategically placed, to minimise sound reflections when mixing or recording.
Hanging clouds in all rooms are acoustically designed for maximum efficiency to absorb ceiling reflections and the installed ambient light in the clouds creates a relaxing creative atmosphere.
Flexible Studio DesignFlexible Studio Design
4 separate recording spaces means that maximum separation is achieved!
Nothing was left to chance. The design of the studio allows for up to four acoustically separated recording spaces to work simultaneously, so each instrument can be greatly separated in the recording process, but at the same time allows the musicians to play together.
Specially designed vocal booth
The extra Vocal booth, is acoustically designed to give different sound to the live room. It is specifically designed to give a ‘dryer’ sound, for recording sources like vocals or any other acoustic instruments.
SSL heart at CSS
At the heart of the brand new CSS Studio, you will find a SSL (Solid State Logic) XL mixing desk which is equipped with SSL and Elysia XFilter EQs and the legendary SSL G-Bus compressor.
Mixing through the SSL mixer, or recording through its preamps, will give you the professional, full analogue, modern sound, that you definitely want for your tracks.
