Award-Winning Design
Edgewater’s Studio A was initially designed by world-famous Jeff Hedback of HdAcoustics, whose recording studios have been included in Mix Magazine’s Best-Of lists year after year. It is one of the nicest rooms available in any Houston recording studio. The monitoring system was designed by Russ Berger of the industry-leading Russ Berger Design Group (NFL Network, Lakewood Church, Paragon Studios). Russ has served as President of the National Council of Acoustical Consultants and is a Fellow in the Acoustical Society of America. Russ has certified Edgewater Studios’ mixing environment as extremely accurate. Studio A is a world-class space for the tracking, editing, mixing, mastering, or post-production of ANY audio project.
