Kopperhead’s Master Studio complex was designed by John Storyk of Walters-Storyk Design Group, New York, New York. Kopperhead is linked on the WSDG Client List.
Having wonderful acoustical clarity and definition, Kopperhead’s Master Studio is both spacious and beautiful. All wood is mahogany and an appropriate “kopper” color. Earth tones and soft textures were chosen specifically to enhance the comfort and well-being of the performers. Overhead, three wooden “clouds” are suspended from the ceiling offering superb acoustical diffraction. Appearing triangular, four trapped bays of differing dimensions offer better isolation for guitar and bass amps if desired. Likewise, the drum booth can be used with or without front baffles for variable levels of isolation. Of course, when needed, drums can be recorded outside the booth to utilize the studio’s awesome acoustics.
Using the fourth trapped bay and curved wooden resonators, our Baldwin Grand Piano has it’s own place with special acoustical treatment. It too may be placed in different locations to achieve varying amounts of “room” sound required of different musical styles. Three custom cabinets offer microphone and headphone connections while enabling convenient storage of cables and headphones. Often overlooked in studio design and construction, Kopperhead’s Master Studio and Control Room each have their own heating and air conditioning systems. This not only assures performer comfort, but also keeps each room’s sound isolated to that room. Furthermore, all studio lights are on dimmers to create that special “mood” required for some performances. Simply put, Kopperhead’s Master Studio is a very special acoustic recording space that is unique to this region and the Midwest.
The Control 24 mixing interface incorporates 24 touch-sensitive motorized faders and dedicated switches letting one record and mix very efficiently in Pro Tools, and its extensive analog routing section means this controller/preamp/router is the centerpiece of a Pro Tools rig. Each control strip offers the functionality of a multi-function knob (which defaults to pan), dedicated buttons to open dynamics or EQ plug-ins assigned to that particular channel, and switches for mute, solo, record arm, etc. Even the most complex Pro Tools functions can be turned into a series of simple steps, offering incredible freedom in recording and letting those us of used to working on an analog console concentrate on making music rather than navigating screens. The Control 24 is far more than just a world class control surface. It contains 16 award-winning Class A discrete transistor-based preamps, the Focusrite Platinums. These are not your run of the mill inputs and are known for smooth, flat response and great sound
To complement the expanded power and quality of the Pro Tools HD system, we have chosen Digidesign’s high-definition 192 Input/Output interface. This unit breaks new ground in sound quality and performance, and supports sampling rates up to 192 kHz. It provides a multitude of connection options and offers 16 simultaneous channels of high-definition I/O to choose from, including 16 channels of pristine analog I/O, 16 channels of ADAT digital, 8 channels of AES/EBU digital, 8 channels of TDIF digital, and 2 channels of AES/EBU, ADAT or S/PDIF digital. All of these can utilize the real-time sample rate converter chips for streaming digital signals with any sample rate into a Pro Tools session. With the 192 I/O, interface, the full power of the Pro Tools HD system is available.
