THE GROOVE FACTORY STUDIO
Part of The Groove Factory – Music, Events & More (www.thegroovefactory.it), the studio is located in Udine, inside the huge Città Fiera shopping mall.
Four sound-proof boxy rooms (www.boxysystem.com) with over 35dbs of sound isolation and a specific acoustic treatment are the perfect environment for professional recordings, together with top-class gear to satisfy every kind of request.
Through the years The Groove Factory Studio has been specialising into the rock/hard rock and heavy-metal jar by recording, mixing and mastering a lot of releases: from demos to big productions, we had the pleasure to work with artists and labels from all around the world.
Today, together with Michele Guaitoli, there is a team of professional engineers to satisfy the needs not only of metal-heads, but of every musician coming from any style or genre.
