Recording Studio Rockstars Episode 196: Designing the Perfect Recording Studio with Steven Durr
Soultrain was a unique and challenging project, as it included the redesign of the iconic Scruggs Sound studio in Berry Hill. Owner Johnny Reid kept as much of the original footprint as possible, as he prefers to record with all of the players in the same room, playing off each other. However, the facility has a new modern interior design and custom DMX lighting. The tracking room, iso booth and control room have clear sight lines, while equipment upgrades brought the studio up to the state of the art.

Steven Durr Designs created this studio for musician and former Major League Baseball pitcher Barry Zito, with an eye toward the owner’s comfort and expectations, and the idea that a recording studio should be a place you never want to leave. The Backyard studio creates a visual world that harkens back to the 1970s, yet features the latest technology. The architectural design features a stone iso booth and a custom ellipse-inspired cloud for monitoring accuracy. The Backyard is designed for one to two people to work comfortably and feel unpressured in a warm, ergonomically correct working environment.
