STUDIOS

Our A and B studios both consist of a control room and several individual recording booths. The whole complex is structurally 100% floating with all booths floating separately from the control room to maximise isolation. This is part of Astia-studio's uncompromising approach to sound.

The main recording room is built according to LEDE-principle (Live End ‚ Dead End) with windows for daylight, creating a nice ambience, day and night. Both studios have Macintosh computer with Motu's DigitalPerfomer 6. Both studios are also equipped with NS10's and Mackie HR824mkII speakers.



STUDIO-A

Everything is recorded with TL Audio´s VTC valve console with lots of cool outboard gear and for mixing we use a Mackie Digital X Bus 200. Studio-A is operated by Anssi Kippo, Astia's founder who has been the producer & engineer for various finnish platinum selling metal and rock albums.
