I have been writing and producing music in my own studio in Ejea de los Caballeros (Zaragoza, Spain)<\/strong> since 2015, and the last couple of years have changed it quite a lot. The big one is the control room: it is now a recording, mixing and immersive post-production studio running Dolby Atmos 7.1.4<\/strong>, already wired to grow into 9.1.6. So here are some new pictures and an updated list of what is in the room.<\/p>\n

A recording studio in Arag\u00f3n built around picture<\/h2>\n

The studio was built for what I do almost every day: writing music for television, film, radio and advertising<\/a>. That shapes the whole setup. Everything happens here \u2014 writing, recording, mixing and delivery \u2014 without moving the project anywhere else and without depending on someone else\u00b4s calendar, which in TV is usually the difference between making the deadline and missing it.<\/p>\n

There are four connected spaces: the control room, a large live room with backline set up, a vocal booth and a lounge area for listening with fresh ears. It all runs over a Dante network<\/strong>, so I can record in any room and have it inside the DAW straight away.<\/p>\n

Dolby Atmos 7.1.4: immersive mixing and post-production<\/h2>\n

The Dolby Atmos 7.1.4<\/strong> install is the main change of the last few years. Twelve speakers \u2014 seven on the floor, subwoofer and four overheads \u2014 calibrated for immersive mixing of both music and audiovisual content, with cabling and power sized to move up to 9.1.6<\/strong> when I need it.<\/p>\n

It is not a technical whim. More and more jobs are immersive from the start. In 2025 I did the sound design and the mix of the Origen<\/em> show at Sendaviva on a custom 12.1 3D system<\/strong>, plus the original music and sound design for the Ejea de los Caballeros videomapping. Those formats cannot be guessed in stereo: you need a calibrated room and proper monitoring.<\/p>\n

New: Yamaha DM3 with Dante for location recording<\/h2>\n

The latest addition is a Yamaha DM3<\/strong>. It is a very compact digital console with a Dante card, and I use it two ways: out of the studio for location recording<\/strong> \u2014 concerts, venues, live sessions \u2014 and inside the building as a front end from any of the rooms, integrated into the DAW with the rest of the system.<\/p>\n
