Here, at Studio 2, we create soundtracks by selecting the relevant bits in the available footage and edit the pre-recorded audio material, which then results in the finished product – a stereophonic or 5.1 soundtrack. A unique Reflector Audio stereophonic system is set up in the control room.

Equipment

This is a legendary place, where Raimonds Pauls recorded a great deal of his music from 1967 onwards, later also with singers Nora Bumbiere, Viktors Lapčenoks, Margarita Vilcāne, Ojārs Grīnbergs, trumpetist Gunārs Rozenbergs and many other unparalleled Latvian musicians. The unique acoustic qualities of the Hall keeps the place constantly busy as it is favoured by the nation’s best choirs, orchestras and solo artists such as Inese Galante, Elīna Garanča, Inga Kalna, Kristīne Opolais, Kārlis Zariņš, Aleksandrs Antoņenko etc. The Latvian National Symphony Orchestra, Kremerata Baltica and Sinfonietta Riga have recorded there a number of times. Several film soundtracks with local and international composers and producers have been recorded in the Hall. The acoustics in the Hall meet the technical requirements of a sound recording studio: the reverberation time is 2.7 seconds; the total area of the Hall is 280 m² with a volume of 3000m³. There is a 1980 Steinway & Sons concert grand piano model D in the Hall. Podiums are available for choir recordings. While the recording controls are available in Studios 1 and 2, there is an adjacent separate control room, which allows additional equipment to be set up.
