Those pics are so clean they almost look like renderings-

Wow at the Fazioli F308!

Amazing build. Are you able to do some work now?

Thanks! The photos turned out great I think.

Yeah we're fully operational now and bookings are picking up.
It's a bummer that air travel is kinda restricted at the moment, but hopefully it will return to normal soon.

The studio really looks amazing. Great job! Can’t wait to see it in person.

Joao B. 🎙️ · 25th October 2020

So the past couple of months have been weird. We had some big bookings that got cancelled because of travel restrictions but fortunately we have been very very busy with lots of smaller projects!

I'm so pleased with the way the rooms turned out, it's been great working in the new facilities.

I'm compiling a bunch of pictures from some sessions which I'll post as soon as I find the time.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Nice idea to compare the different rooms. The Studio A Main room has just the right kind of hugeness while still feeling tight. Good job !

Thanks, that's a great description!

It's really easy to get good sounds in that room.

Thanks!

So both clips in Studio A were done through a Neve 8068, Studio B has a Rupert Neve 5088 but we used UTA preamps and. Same for Studio C!

The rooms sound great, and the drummer is killing it!

Just spotted this thread by accident...

Nice work and a great environment you have created. Congratulations!

Having been involved in the project of the Atlântico Blue Studios in Lisbon some years ago, I´m glad that there´s still people investing in this kind of large facilities, even during the hard times we´re living. Porto is a great city with great music and truly deserves a space like this.

Whish you all the best for the future! Keep on rockin!

I'm blown away by your thread. Beautiful facility! I wish you many decades of success.

Absolutely jaw dropping build, massive credit to you for getting it open during a pandemic too!

Inspiring stuff. Possibly doing a new mastering studio build from scratch soon, nothing on your scale but from the ground up so may be in touch with some q's. Very interested in the eco products!

Ask away! Where are you located?

Sadly many of the pictures in this thread are gone due to a server swap.
@ Jules is there any way that I can access the old posts so I can re-upload the pictures?

Here's a little tour of the place after a few years of operation:
