THE STUDIO
The Philosophy of The Studio is Simple:
We appreciate what a tense and nerve wracking experience recording can be.
A recording studio is simply a place where people stick microphones in front of you and capture your performances but in the wrong studio, this can feel like a drag, the place needs a “vibe”, you need to be relaxed and Tuff Gong is that kind of creative space.
The Control Room:
Our custom built 320 SqFt control room has been aesthetically and acoutically designed to give a great work flow, isolated from the other spaces this creates the perfect working and listening environment.
All the usual toys within easy reach, 5 sets of monitors for accurate mixing and seperate workstations for Programmers, Engineers and Producers.
There’s plenty of relaxing space and a large window with line of sight into the recording areas and uniquely, we have daylight.
The Live Room:
We have a 500 sqft live room with high apex ceilings, big enough to accomodate a full band comfortably, the room has been tuned to give it that big studio sound, especially on drums but the acoustics can also be tailored for a more intimate sonic footprint.
The Isolation Booth:
The 81 sqft (big enough for a drum kit if needed) isolation booth is acoustically damped for a much tighter/ drier sound, we often use it as a seperate amp room but equally well suited for doing vocals with lines of site to the live room and control room.
The Artists Lounge:
Situated next door to the control room, with natural daylight, the lounge is the perfect place to escape, relax, eat or play.
