Project Description
Overview
Hit recording duo Cat Dealers broke onto the global charts in 2017 with a smash six-minute hit remix of Your Body. Sony Music artists, brothers Lugui and Pedrão, are now ranked among the ‘top three most influential DJs/Producers in the Brazilian music scene,’ and their recent Keep On Lovin hit confirms their continuing popularity with multi-million Spotify plays and YouTube views. To drive their remixing skills, Cat Dealers required a dedicated CR / Live Room. Recognizing the value of superior studio design / acoustic excellence, they commissioned WSDG Walters-Storyk Design Group to create a compact yet powerful “dream studio.”
Program
“The Cat Dealers had dedicated a compact 12m2 / 130 Sq. Ft. for their CR/Live Room. I consulted with Founding Partner John Storyk to determine the most effective (and best sounding) use of the space,” reports WSDG Brazil-based Project Manager, Alan Machado. “We engaged sophisticated acoustical room simulations to inform our design program with a fully balanced frequency response and controlled sound decay.”
Design
The Cat Dealers CR/Live Room benefits from low frequency treatments precisely, (and invisibly) installed behind the fabric finishes to maintain the room’s spare, clean, efficient look. The dedicated futuristic space engages an RGB LED lighting system to enhance creative inspiration. We have created a number of compact “vest-pocket” rooms, and for the Cat Dealers we developed a unique ceiling cloud configuration and highly effective custom perforated wood, low frequency wall and ceiling treatments. Focal SM9 audio monitors carefully tuned to the client’s personal taste with a DSP processor establish a ‘universal sweet spot’ throughout the compact space. Judging from their consistent chart track record, we hit the mark on all counts.
