The three-foot thick concrete slab fundamentally creates a classic stiff control room, resulting in minimal negative vibrational effects, especially from low frequencies. Built elements work in concert to deliver the highest quality acoustic recording and playback possible. The control room is a true critical listening area dimensionally correct with canted walls and ceilings, soffited speakers, and ISO booths. Non-parallelism and surface treatments secure sonically pleasing sound throughout for all artists and their applications.

Manifested in 1985 by Erik Nielsen, this analog and digital audio recording studio is professionally designed by Frank Hubach and Associates of Berkeley, California. Erik, the “Sonic Negotiator,” remains the sole proprietor and is an element of his own within the studio space.

The City of Stars Recording Studio is the result of a careful cultivation process, taking shape over 40 years. Reflected in the iterations of the studio setting, equipment, and acoustics is the better part of Erik’s life working professionally in the music business as both a drummer and a producer. Building this project-based studio from the ground up catering to songwriters and singers has been his personal, artistic pleasure.

The vast majority of projects taken home and taken to heart are created and worked through an artist’s own financial and musical power. This can be done effectively and simply in the heart of the internet industry, here at The City of Stars Recording Studio.
