I’m almost finished putting together my next recording studio. The new space has a huge wall of windows. In these summer months it feels like the sun is five feet away. I installed huge grey opaque curtains. They are quite dramatic in the all white room. It’s almost like if I pull them back there will be an audience sitting there waiting for me to play. It got me thinking that I should name this studio “The Grey Curtain”. So here’s my question: Do you name your recording studios?
“Complementary colors are defined to mix to grey, either additively or subtractively, and many color models place complements opposite each other in a color wheel. To produce grey in RGB displays, the R, G, and B primary light sources are combined in proportions equal to that of the white point. In four-color printing, greys are produced either by the black channel, or by an approximately equal combination of CMY primaries. Images which consist wholly of neutral colors are called monochrome, black-and-white or greyscale.” – Wikipedia

i simply named mine ”the office” hehe
you could call it ‘fade to gray’ : )
Mine is called “Santa Maria Studios” due to a statue of this nice girl standing just left of my left monitor… not that original, I know…
My studio is called ‘the studio’. I think it is bad ass.
Ah yes… a few iterations ended up being “Studio”.
1.0, 1.01. 1.02…. Moving into 2.0 next month.
I call my home studio “Creative Consumption Studios” though I think “The Grey Curtain” sounds way cooler :)
Perhaps not to everyone, but the word “Gray” has the connotation of boring, squarish to me.
What about just “The Curtain”, or some synonym for gray:
- Silver Curtain
- Pearly Curtain
- Ash Curtain
- Charcoal Curtain
- Slate Curtain
etc.
Or be paradoxical and call it “The Yellow Curtain”.
When it was in my basement I used to call it Lower Level as a reference to the time I spent working on submarines. Now that it’s upstairs though I don’t have a clue what to call it.
How about “Lower Heaven”? ;-)
Phase IV
Mine is “La bulle”
Well.. mine is more like a “(The) Dungeon”.
Thee Cassini Division. I named my studio after the famous gap in Saturn’s rings, but the other meaning of division as a distinct segment of a larger body makes me feel like it’s a part of a large heartless organization that has been overlooked by the corporate overlords so that I can tap into their resources yet still do what I want.

Wait, is that a Mac Performa on the table?
Interesting, I too call mine “The Dungeon”.
The sign on the door reads “exploration”. I think of it as more of a lab than a studio. With the four 45U racks it looks like a control room from Earth vs The Flying Saucers.
That’s an Akai s612! I have one of those next to the HP sine wave generators.
