Now this is dope I can’t wait to get my studio up and running like this

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

🤘

[@indiscreetz5129]

Very very well shot and edited piece, plus the audio is solid which proves your videographer is legit. It's 6 mins and covers a lot. This is some serious inspiration here, well done

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

Thank you very much. I’ll pass along to word to our videographer 🙌

[@mcmycee]

@@hourglassstudiosnc Apart from the fact that your editor can't spell "comfortable" correctly. Apart from that, it's a great studio

[@BourkeTommy]

[@christopherJSmokeandMirrors]

I subbed. Lets get you to 1000 subs so you can start getting algorithmic push.

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

Thank you! That’s my goal! 🙌

[@RomeoRuizMusic]

My dream studio. I could just sleep in here. Lol

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

Haha we probably will at some point! 😂

[@ast4127]

Nice place good work man!

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

Thanks man! 🤘

[@ast4127]

Can I ask you something? If you only had the chance to keep ONE analog outboard (except pres) which would it be? :)

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

@@ast4127 I would have to say probably the SSL Fusion. It’s essentially 4 units in one and each of them are killer in my opinion.

[@milankucera7304]

Fingers crossed for you!

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

Thanks!

[@svendskogheim8065]

[@JakeXDMusic]

Id love to record in this studio, where you guys located?

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

We’re in Wilmington, NC

[@marioskyriakou]

Hey , what desk are you using?

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

Hey, it’s and Argosey

[@kmb1]

Yeah, man. Nice set up. I wonder if you can relax there? ;)

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

That’s our motto 🤘

[@MobiusMinded]

All you folks that use side by side video monitors… you do realize you are creating a big hole in your mix (with audio monitors that far apart.) can be compensated , but just so you know….

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

We know. It was discussed during the design phase and again during set up. In the end it came down to work flow and comfort. We’re willing to make a sacrifice and compensate with DSP for a more comfortable/smooth workflow.

[@eventhorizon1414]

Room acoustics of control room are not installed. Is proper monitoring possible?

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

Room acoustics are installed. Proper monitoring has been achieved

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

John Brandt design?

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

Mark Wenner of Studio Construction Service actually, but he and John may be partnering in the future.

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

@@hourglassstudiosnc cool! I see some similarity, especially in the front wall of the control room. Looks just like Brandt’s studios

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

@@HollerAtcherBoi For sure, they definitely collaborated on that front wall

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

@@hourglassstudiosnc very cool. John designed my buildout here down in San Diego

[@hourglassstudiosnc]

@@HollerAtcherBoi Cool! I’d love to see some pictures. Got a website or instagram page?
