We usually record our classic, easy listening tracks or soundtracks in either Studio 22 of Magyar Rádió (Hungarian State Radio) or in Tom Tom’s Studio D that are ideally set up for large scale orchestral projects. (Studio D is the orchestral recording hall at Tom Tom’s with outstanding acoustics. Clients have included the BBC, Sky, Air-Edel, Sony, Peter Gabriel, Patrick Doyle, Andy Price, Electronic Arts, West One, Imagem and the Eurovision.)

Studio 22 has a large 280 m2 hall (2240 m3) with excellent acoustics and is perfectly equipped with state of the art tools. The sound engineers behind the mixing console use the Pro Tools 9 digital recording system that provides the technical support at the highest quality standards.
