Control Room: The Heart of Studio A
At the center of Studio A lies our custom-built, state-of-the-art 400 square foot control room. This meticulously designed space features ambient LED lighting, fully adjustable to match the color and mood of your choice, and professional acoustic treatment. Our precision-calibrated monitoring system, complete with calibrated sub and near-field setup, delivers exceptional sound quality for our talented team of engineers.
Acoustically-treated Live Room:
Versatile and Spacious, our 570 square ft. live room is designed to accommodate both individual artists and large groups, providing flexibility and comfort. Custom-built by owner Omar Garza and his team, this room sounds incredible for live tracking. We employ gobos to harness the room's natural reflections in interesting and musical ways, while also achieving the isolation needed for tracking bands and ensembles. Take it one step further and use our in-studio DW Drum kit and/or Baby Grand piano to truly take advantage of our experience working with this space. Come to EMP and experience it for yourself today.
