DRUID The Recording Studio

DRUID STUDIO is a full service recording studio and label, bearing the same name.

We do not specialize in a particular genre of music; after all we are here to facilitate

the artist in his / her endeavor in laying down and producing the best possible tracks while

providing a unique approach of live performance.

We Make Waves, Not Bits

Today's modern recording studio technology is 100% digital, all computerized and all effects are

generated with software. A typical studio environment is sterile, covered with grey insulating

acoustic foam and some times can be pretty intimidating thus not very conducive to creativity.

We do not use digital tricks; we believe in the artists and his / her performance. We use classic

analog recording technique with tapes and tube preamplifiers and racks of outboard effects.

DRUID STUDIO provides a unique, friendly environment including a fireplace in the main

performance room. We like to think of a small venue; the keyboards section features an

ambiance similar to a night club with special lighting specifically designed by Hendersen Research.

DRUID STUDIO has 80 analog input divided on 24 busses. Reengineered tube preamplifiers complement

a first class rack of vintage synthesizers and keyboards, including a rare sample work of a Steinway

9 Ft grand made in Germany in 1908. The sampling effort was painstakingly conducted at 48 bits

16 times for each key over a period of 5 months. We also have 20 feet of outboard rack effects

interconnected through a 400 points hard-wired patch bay. All interconnects were especially

Cryo-Treated with the "OnE KelVin" process

DRUID STUDIO strive in capturing the performance at the source using the natural acoustics

of the environment; we are not the "fix it in the mix" or "that software effect will clean the signal"

studio. We strongly believe in the "live performance" concept of recording.

Yep, that we are indeed; We will even feed you home cooking between sessions.
