Studio
Over more than 10 years the studio has been growing, evolving and being materialized.
From the acoustic project, through the physical construction, choice of equipment and forms of connections, always seeking the integration of classical instruments with modern tools.
Music Production Courses
Developed independently and with a focus on understanding processes, concepts and tools, the courses have distinct and complementary perspectives for the production of electronic music.
Basic
Electronic music production course for beginners based on Ableton Live.
We will cover everything from the basics to synthesis and advanced aspects of the software, suitable for beginners as well as for those who already have some knowledge of music production but would like to go deeper in Ableton, synthesis and creative processes.
Points covered in the course:

DJ courses
Basic course, aimed at those who still have no contact with the world of DJing and want to take the first steps in this art.
The following topics are covered:
- What is a DJ?
- Basic notions of music theory, equipment, connections, styles, familiarization.

36 hours, once a week at night, 3 hours per class.
Artistic MENTORING
We can often find ourselves with the feeling of not knowing what we are doing, aimlessly, with little motivation.
Addressing individual aspects, technical and conceptual issues, artistic mentoring is a tool that brings a new perspective, another look at the artist who seeks to rediscover / reinvent / recreate.
There will be weekly, virtual or face-to-face meetings (when possible), where we will explore the points that each artist seeks to address.
MAstering
The process of finalizing your music involves several technical aspects that can make this step a big challenge.
We offer our mastering services to assist the artist in this complex task.
Analog hardware and software's are the tools we use in our hybrid setup, and the process involves direct contact with the artist to ensure that the desired result is achieved.
You can purchase our mastering services per song or on a package with more tracks.
hardware modulation
Even with physical distance you can use all the gear available in the studio in your tracks with our Hardware Modulation service.
For synthesizers and drum machines you can send us your MIDI file to be processed through the chosen hardware.
- Synthesizers: Moog Voyager, Moog Minitaur, Korg MS-20 Mini, Roland Jupiter-6, Roland SH-101, Vermona Perfourmer MKII, Access Virus TI2.
How it works?
1) You choose a synthesizer;
2) Send us your MIDI file and preset (when there is one) and also a link with some reference tracks;
3) Your file will be modulated with the chosen synthesizer;
4) You will receive a WAV or AIFF (up to you) file of each MIDI that you acquired.
- Drum Machines: Roland TR-909, Vermona DRM1 MKIII, Acidlab Miami (808 clone), MFB522.
How it works?
1) You choose a drum machine and witch instruments/voice you want to use;
2) Send us your MIDI file from each instrument;
3) We will use the chosen instrument to sequence your MIDI file;
4) You will receive a WAV or AIFF (up to you) file of each MIDI that you acquired.
With effects and processors you can send us a sample or stem, a reference track (and preset when there is one), to be processed with the desired hardware.
- Reverbs: Lexicon PCM 70, Empress Reverb (pedal), Reco-Synth RecoVerb (spring), Vermona RetroVerb Lancet (spring).
- Delays: Roland RE-201 Space Echo, Gurus EchoSex 2 (pedal), Yamaha D5000.
- Compressors: Lisciel Maletomp (tube), FMR RNC1773.
- Equalizers: Sherman FilterBank 2, Ashly GQX 3102 (graf).
- Others: Lisciel KickAsh (crossover/tube saturator).
How it works?
1) You choose the effect you want to use;
2) Send us your sample/stem;
3) Your file will be processed through the chosen hardware;
4) You will receive a WAV or AIFF (up to up) file of your sample/stem processed.
In every case the converters used in the recordings are Apogee Symphony and the files are wav or aiff 48khz 24bits.
Up to two work days for the processed files to be send back to you.
