Sound Development

Sound Development is located at the Lavaterstrasse 44 in 8002 Zurich, Switzerland.

The studio is mainly designed as a creative/ production facility with mixing capabilities in a good atmosphere. It includes besides the control room, a vocal booth and two large and flexible rooms for recording. The larger of the two has daylight and a bright, natural reverb, the smaller is in the basement and has a shorter, crisp sound, good for drums and amps. Both rooms are linked to one another via the control room.
