Studio Design and Consultation

In addition to our tech shop, the Sonic Circus approach to studio design and builds streamlines the process for our clients. Handling everything in-house allows us to create innovative and cost-effective solutions. Total project management allows us to tailor the equipment, acoustic space, and decor specifically.

Typically, rooms and equipment packages are put together randomly, which often leads to frustrating results. The equipment comes from one source, the client hires an acoustician, then maybe an interior designer at the end to pull it together. Furthermore, the interior designer probably does not even know what your equipment does, or what kind of decor bands, songwriters, or an advertising client perfers.

Let’s say Sonic Circus tailors an environment for a specific task, such as recording rock music. Our team would approach every aspect of the project with this in mind. The equipment would have the classic rock sound, the studio would be setup to accommodate musicians and their instruments, and the decor would make the bands feel inspired not intimidated. Finding the clients specific niche and then creating a custom solution ensures success.

Budget is always an issue whenever a complex project like a new facility is being planned. Sonic Circus can provide realistic numbers upfront so the budget can be realized without compromising the projects goals. Too often the budget gets spent in elaborate construction and infrastructure resulting in less money for vital things like equipment wiring. If we know the equipment is going to be expensive then we can come up with cost effective construction plans to ensure we stay on budget.
