Why we’re different:

WE MAKE RECORDS.

We are uniquely capable of tailoring your studio to your needs, thanks to our award-winning experience in the studio.

WE’RE MASTERS OF MONITORING.

Over the last decade, we've tuned hundreds of speaker systems for a vast clientele. We are unrivaled.

WE CUT THROUGH THE NOISE.

Recording studio acoustics is a field rife with outdated concepts, misplaced priorities, and outright snake oil. We utilize only proven methods that impact you. The result is full-spectrum acoustical control and the ultimate in emotional clarity.

Affectionately known as “Unf*ck Projects,” we gained notoriety for helping our music-industry friends level up during a global crisis. We achieved this by taking a deep interest in each client’s creative life and tailoring their environment to support it. Today, we design the world’s most high-value studios for elite record makers and other creative visionaries.
