| It
took a year and a half to build and it is, I believe, the finest studio
I have ever worked in. The design was a collaborative effort between myself
and Steven Klein. (Steven is a life-long friend, veteran recording engineer,
record producer, and studio designer, and the owner of Steven Klein’s Sound
Control Room, here in L.A. www.soundcontrolroom.com
Actually, most of the design was his. I simply *tweaked* a few details
here and there.
For more details, please visit:
M-Pire Recording Studio website
I look forward to producing
many records here. The work has already begun.
