STUDIO ENVIRONMENT

RECORDING & PRODUCTION STUDIO DESIGN

Creating a professional environment dosen't happen over night.  As a matter of fact, in our case it had taken almost three years of careful engineering, testing, construction and over a half a million dollar investment to create Forte Studios as you see it today!

It is our attention to every detail and patience in "doing it right the first time" that differentiates Forte studios from any studio you may find.


If you are recording a band, our noise resistant isolation room design allows you to save significant money, while still utilizing a multi-track approach.  Contact us and Tour the Studio to discover the best value for your time and money when recording and mixing.
