Technical
Credentials
Completely unique in style and
character the studios feature the latest SSL MT digital console with
a good range of microphones and outboard gear. The effects
rack is pivoted so it can slide behind the engineer or pushed away
when not needed.
The studio area
features several areas that have adjustable fixed booths to create a
very flexible recording environment.
A producers or
writing room is also available and is above the main studio.
Creature
comforts
The
food is cooked by Arnold's wife and is superb. Eat in their house
next door or cook your own meals in a fabulous kitchen above the studios.
There are plenty of
guest bedrooms and there is a wonderful rest room decorated with
original pictures of the surrounding landscape and characters, some
date back over 100 years.
Entertainment in
Volendam is more of the relaxing 'take a walk' sort. For
nightlife, head to Amsterdam which is very close by!
And finally
Arnold
Murhen who owns the studios is not the famous football player Arnold
Murhen. He's the studio owners nephew!
Many thanks
to Arnold and his staff for taking the time to look after us and
show us around! |
