THE
ROOM
A place built for attention. A studio is not just gear: it’s a room where someone feels safe enough to do their best work. We keep sessions undisturbed, one project at a time, with full attention, because that focus is where the good takes shape.
You don’t need to be intimidated by the equipment; you need to feel at ease. That’s our job before any microphone goes up.
Studio A
Studio A is where full productions happen: a large control room with custom main monitors and a hybrid chain of API, Telefunken, Tube-Tech, SSL and Universal Audio, a Tascam ATR-80 2″ 24-track for tape sessions, and a live room for bands, ensembles and acoustic sessions. Grand pianos are available on request through our piano rental partner.
Studio B
Studio B is Jacopo Pettini’s room, built for focused sessions: overdubs, vocals, guitars, arrangement and mixing. Neve 1073 and API 512c preamps, Chandler TG2 and Avalon VT-737SP, a Kemper and a Mesa Boogie TransAtlantic for guitars, Adam S3X-H monitoring. Same standard as Studio A.
INSIDE
VIRUS
A look around the two rooms: control rooms, live room, outboard and tape.
RECORDING
&
PRODUCTION
Production. Artistic production and arrangement, from the first idea to the finished record. We shape the identity of the record while supporting the artist’s vision: song development, artistic direction, session musicians, sound design and orchestration.
Recording. Sessions in two acoustically designed rooms with high-end microphones and preamps: drums, bands and acoustic ensembles, vocals and overdubs.
ON
LOCATION
We bring the studio to you: concerts, theatre productions, classical ensembles and production sound on film and video shoots. Then we finish the audio for picture: dialogue editing, dubbing mix, sound design, sound logos and restoration of archive recordings, delivered to broadcast loudness standards (EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770). Music & sound for picture.
