A.R.T. Studios

This studio was designed and built by Gunter Wagner and Bernd Steber (Sydney/Australia) and was used in the recording of all of Cretu's productions (Enigma, Sandra, Trance Atlantic Air Waves).

Bernd Steber came up with the idea of hiding all acoustical trapping behind a full-size piece of canvas which could be stretched from one side of the room to the other and painted like a picture.

All external equipment is wired to a large digital mixing console which was custom built by AMEK and the German Company Mega Audio according to Michael Cretu's preferred working procedures.

This console is physically small but it has 160 inputs to collect most signals coming from any midi source, computer or microphone without the need of any patch bay.

All recording is done on a Pro Tools system hardware and Emagic's latest version of Logic Audio Platinum software.
