music: "It's Your Thing" - Dennis Coffey & The Lyman Woodard Trio (Venture 45)

I've thought about that studio over the years. 

I think if I had it to do over, I would have put the control room on the ground floor where the string and horn rooms were. 

There was plenty of square footage to do this and not compromise studio floor space. 

Yet I have to admit to this day that to stand in the middle of the studio and look up at the control room and see that entire wall of glass looking down at you was an attention getter.

The console was designed and constructed by Milan Bogdan.

From the brochure..."The Tera Shirma Audio Control Console, designed by Milan Bogdan, Chief Engineer, uses solid state line amps and integrated circuit amplifier modules to provide quality and reliability". 

The audio control console has been developed to include control functions most needed by the record industry of today and tomorrow and to provide the professional with professional sound recordings.

The console specifications have been derived from the one remaining studio rate card I have.

From the brochure...A Tera Shirma requirement is that  (besides being technically qualified ) our sound engineers have musical backgrounds.

This means you work with technicians who have an unusual depth of understanding for your goals.
