SKYLINE
STUDIO
Extraordinary acoustics.
Absolute clarity.
Room to create.
Vinovo · Turin, Italy
IT STARTS
WITH THE ROOM
A place to find your sound.
And the peace to hear it.
The whole concept of Skyline revolves around its exceptional acoustics. The skyline diffusers across the ceiling give the studio its name: a sculptural landscape that shapes the sound and brings a feeling of modernity and complete peace.
Absorption and diffusion work as one considered design. From the control room to the live room, every space invites close listening, natural performances and a deeper connection with the music.
My creative base in Vinovo, near Turin, brings recording, production, mixing and mastering together. This is where Unconventional and Face to Face took shape.
HEAR
EVERYTHING
Pristine, mastering-grade monitoring.
Crystal-clear conversion and routing.
Neumann KH310 monitors are at the heart of a listening environment built for precision. The room and the speakers work together to reveal the smallest details in tone, balance, depth and dynamics.
The Antelope Audio Orion 32HD Gen 3 feeds the monitors directly. RME MADI routing and TotalMix FX keep the signal path transparent and the studio flexible, so the focus stays on the music.
CHARACTER
AT THE SOURCE
Up to 40 microphones.
Countless ways to listen.
Neumann, AKG, Shure, Audio-Technica and Sennheiser form a versatile microphone collection for voices, acoustic instruments, amplifiers and drums.
