Recording Studio Design
Recording studio design is both an art and a process. Steven Durr Designs has been working with customers on every step of the process of creating or upgrading their facilities for more than forty years. Creating a space where engineers can listen critically and a space where musicians, engineers and performers can work together is critical and the job of a recording studio design firm. Developing a place where a console, racks of equipment, a computer and the necessary power supplies can be together, but not hinder the creative process of making music is the job of a recording studio design firm. It may be that you wish to develop a recording studio, but it is the job of the recording studio designer to take your vision and turn it into a reality.

Why should an educational institution invest in services from Steven Durr Designs?
Schools who wish to design recording studio or multimedia facilities often reach out to architects or designers to simply just construct a space. But, creating a space for the purpose of creating music is best done by reaching out to a recording studio designer who understands the acoustical needs, the spatial requirements and the long-term challenges of both electrical wiring and ventilation that the structure will have to endure. Steven Durr Designs has been doing this work for legendary recording studio facilities and has an extensive list of successfully designed facilities and long-term clients.
