Private Underground Studios
The studio resides in a cavernous 12 x 9 room highlighted by absolutely no intentional acoustic design properties whatsoever. The equipment is an eclectic assortment of affordable, but highly functional electronics, musical instruments, and other assorted hardware housed in hand-crafted (by yours truly) studio cabinetry.
The recording medium is PC based, all effects used were either bundled with Steinberg Cubase, or acquired as freeware/shareware.
