Designed by an acoustic engineer and an interior designer, it is both functional and cozy.
It is perfectly suited for any kind of EDM production: house, trance, progressive, rap, hip-hop amongst others.
The combination of acoustically designed space, monitoring controller and DAC Crane Song Avocet and Amphion One 18 reference monitors guarantee natural and transparent sound, which enables detailed frequency analysis - critically significant to the mixing process.
In addition to the above the studio is equipped with Klein+Hummel monitors, Bayerdynamic headphones DT900 and DT770.
Hypnotic Lab offers some of the best modern sound recording technologies - equipement by the leading companies in the field Neve, SSL, Tube-Tech, Manley, Dangerous Music, Chandler Limited, Great River, Crane Song, Spl., Lynx, Avid and many more.

For the sound design we use virtual synthesizers by U-He, NI, AIR and hardware synthesizers Moog Voyger, Prophet 08, Nord Lead 4, Virus Ti, Arturia Origine, Roland V-Synth XT, Novation Bass Station, Akai Z8.
The main DAW we use is Pro Tools 12 HD Native, operated by a powerful 12-core MacPro.
At Hypnotic Lab we combine the in-the-box with out-of-the-box mixing techniques.
This way the sound acquires analogue color and depth, without compromising the digital precision.
