The Story of NobleStreetStudios

NobleStreetStudios grew out of a desire to create an excellent recording environment in the downtown area. Recording excellence requires space, specialized construction and specific acoustic treatments. It is difficult to do well and nearly impossible in existing spaces, so the whole facility is custom-built from foundation to green roof, allowing us to tailor the spaces for optimal function and comfort.

 

In the west wing, on the main floor, Studio A offers a live space for ensemble recording without interference from the room itself or external sources, and an isolated control room well-suited for critical listening over long periods of time without fatigue.  The A room also has a lounge large enough to seat more than 20 people for a meal, yet intimate enough for a small group to feel at home.

 

The east wing is a 2-storey structure encompassing a reception area, manager's office, Accurate Audio (Artist support service), and the Technical Shop on the ground floor.

 

The second floor holds Studio B, the Tower, and the Gallery.

 

Studio B consists primarily of three rooms: a medium-sized control room, a wired lounge/live room and a 100 sq ft iso-booth.

 

The second floor holds Studio B and Studio G, with a lounge in the connecting space. This used to be an open space to the top of the Tower, which now houses a mezzanine.

Studio D is in the third floor mezzanine.

​

What was once the Gallery at the front of the building is now Studio G.

​

For clients who have difficulty with the stairs, access to the second floor is provided by a Garaventa incline platform lift (cap. 495 lbs). As well, we have installed interconnect wiring throughout allowing for real-time server access almost anywhere in the building. There is gated parking with key fob access, comfortable seating under the living wall and plenty of interesting spaces inside to inspire the artist too.

 

A 4,125 square foot green roof, a 30' long living wall, LED lighting throughout the building and a "tankless" demand hot water system all help soften the environmental impact of the studio.

 

The selection of studio gear is critical to recording the performance quickly and accurately.  Long before the studio was built we started collecting the best analog and digital equipment available. Our excellent technical staff keeps the gear in top running order so our clients can work at peak efficiency, capturing the moment and then moving on to the next one.
