The recording studio consists of three main rooms. A live room (35sqm), control room (25sqm) and a small booth (3sqm) all of which were designed by legendary George Augspurger. The entrance to the studio is through the Villa's living room, with a ceiling height of 8m, which is great for ...well you know.
Enjoy wonderful Costa Rican jungle & ocean views from both the control room and live room. The rest of the house is discretely integrated as being part of elstudio, with tie, speaker and cue lines, even including the bathroom.
elstudio is equipped with a collection of classic microphones, instruments and analog outboard. All locations and equipment are logically patchable, so that every professional producer, engineer and musician that walks in immediately feels at ease.
Between sessions artists can take a dip in our private swimming pool, enjoy the warm Pacific Ocean (only 800m away!), drink a fresh fruit smoothie on the beach, read in a hammock, have a surf session or take a yoga class. Afterwards, play a new take or listen to your mix with a fresh and clear mind… check!
