" I am Matt Bodi with Up All Night Productions located in Miami, Florida. You can find us online at www.upallnightpro.com. I’m going to show you a little bit of the actual studio room. Now this room also was built from scratch. As you can see you know the walls have a nice material. We try to make the room esthetically pleasing, so that when a client or somebody comes in to record they are comfortable. As you can see we have you know a couch located directly in the middle of the room. This couch is placed here directly in between the speakers; so that when somebody is listening they get the full feel of the studio and the sound. This right here is called the diffuser. This is placed here strategically on the opposite side of the monitors from the speakers so that when the sound comes it bounces off here and diffuses off. Now you can see up here there are Ossett diffusers on the ceiling and this has the same function. This is so that the sound bounces off and doesn’t hit the same spot twice. Now all of these things are strategically placed for sound but also esthetically you know so that things look nice and the client or whoever is in here recording is comfortable. "
