My Husband and I run a Studio in Gainesville, Florida, called Z-Chord Studios. It started out being my Husband’s passion, but through the video and photography side I quickly fell in love with the art form of audio myself. There aren’t a lot of riches to be had, but there are great songs, videos and photos for every session. One day we hope to have a dedicated studio space, but for now, we run it out of our humble home. It is truly great to have something that is fun and fulfilling to do together, although a little Netflix binge watching is called for from time to time.
With this awesome Prize from Production Expert, we plan to give our room a much needed calibration. We have done a lot of work with Diffusion and Absorption, but there is only so much that can really be done with such a small Control Room. We realized that between the both of us we don’t own a single pair of headphones worth over $100, so it will be enlightening, and probably a little scary, to hear our mixes in such detail. We know that in the end having Reference 4 and a great pair of Sennheiser cans will help us along in our journey to achieving better mixes. We are honestly completely taken aback that we even won! Thank you all so much for the opportunity to enter this contest. And thank you so very much for creating the awesome community that is Production Expert.
