All- in recording in a one- room studio has limitations regarding the spill of instruments. Redoing of parts , while possible, need to be prepared for beforehand with  the acoustic instruments.

There is heating and air conditioning plus a pleasant courtyard seating area outside. The room sounds quite even with a reflective floor bouncing onto an absorbent ceiling and brick wall bouncing onto wood paneling. The roof and walls are lined with rockwool and cement sheeting.
