Have a look in the recording studio

The recording studio THE RIGHT PLACE - 2000 m³ of space to fill with music - has three different sound systems : one for multirecording, one for Dolby Surround and one for classical music. Together with a machine room and composition room as well as areas to rest and relax in, it makes up the largest sound recording complex in Brussels.


Checking what has just been recorded

Recording studios are traditionally too small, and, in music, working with "dead" acoustics and simply adding artificial reverberations afterwards is out of the question. That just makes it difficult for the musicians to control their sound and frustrates the sound engineers.


The recording studio

Michael, a sound engineer, explains : "normally, studios are places where there is never enough time. Here, the daylight and the space give it a more relaxed, calm atmosphere which is very important for inspiring creativity".


Waiting for the result, is it OK or do we need and other 'take'.

A large, spacious room, well insulated from outside noise, ideal acoustics and a well designed control room ... are all important elements for the best conditions, which the Brussels Concertband considered in choosing the DADA studios to record its CD.
