STUDIO 1
The „original“ Woodshed Studio
Studio 1 is located in a small village close to Landshut, and is the place where Victor is doing most of his work since 2008. The studio is primarily used for mixing and mastering, but also for tracking, as the recording room (a larger isolation booth) is with its dry acoustics perfectly suited for vocal-, guitar- and bass recordings, or any instrument that demands a rather „neutral“ acoustic environment.
