Toontrack’s Mattias Eklund and engineer George Massenburg hard at work in the “API Room”.

Layers of technology. George and team are carefully placing each microphone to capture the immense ambience of the 330 square meter Galaxy room.

Each room is a standalone bunker, mounted on helical springs. The insolation between each bunker is a staggering 100.7 dB.

When sampling drums in surround and height, you need – height. The Galaxy hall with its eight meters from floor to ceiling was the perfect choice.

The studio took seven years to complete and a total of 318,000 man hours were spent to achieve the full construction of the facility.
