Troy Germano opens new studio

Troy Geramon, part of the Hit Facotry family. He runs a Studio Design Group that has built numerous famous studios. He is now building a new recording studio in Tampico, Mexico. The owner of the studio is Jose Reyes. He is also Germano’s strategic partner. This studio will be called RG Germano Studios Tampico (Brown, 2011).

The environment one records in is very important. Unfortunately this is often overlooked.  Nowadays, there are many home studios. When I say home studios, it’s not always a real industry professional with the proper equipment and knowledge to make a great sounding track from home.  Often times a “home studio” is a person with a Digital Audio Work Station (Ableton Live, Reaper, Logic, Pro Tools, or even Fruity Loops or any other DAW) and a cheap microphone or two. Though it is possible to make a great sounding recording with these things, without a good sounding room or the proper technique, you might end up with nothing good at all!

Recording vocals in a closed in area can make it sound dead. Many at home studios, when first starting out use closets to record vocals. The end result, if you don’t know how to use plug-ins to fix it, can sound terrible.  In the end, it is just not a quality recording.

Geramon’s studios provide a much better environment for recording. With proper sound and acoustic treatment, a studio can sound fantastic. Standing waves can be eliminated. The boxy sound of a closet used as a vocal booth is eliminated, as well. With Studio Design Group, they build the studio completely to guarantee a great sounding room. Having a great sounding room saves an engineer a lot of work. He or she does not have to spend time fixing errors from the room in the mix. They can just focus on mixing great sounding tracks!
