Studio
Our studio was designed by Lou Clark of Sonic Space, and built by Picker Construction. This team helped us create a beautiful, collaborative work space. Plaid Dog features 3 isolated tracking rooms, including a live room with a 20ft high ceiling, perfect for getting lush, larger than life drum sounds. Our main iso booth has excellent line-of-sight to the live room for live tracking. Our two control rooms have been acoustically tuned for optimal, flat frequency response to create an ideal, reliable mixing environment.
