In a clearing in the woods, a short drive out of Nashville sits MØXE, an extraordinary studio founded by multi-instrumentalist and producer Jordan Hamlin. Though she cut her teeth as a touring musician, Jordan has now produced records for the likes of Lucy Wainwright-Roche and the Grammy-winning Indigo Girls.
Jordan leads us on a tour of MØXE, taking in some ingenious and hand-made acoustic treatment, and explains the design and ethos behind this unique, residential recording facility.

This is one of the most beautiful studios I have ever seen. It's so awesome that she was a touring musician herself and created a space designed for artists. Being able to stay onsite must make recording so much easier. It also probably generates a lot of creativity. Thank you for the Tour of this amazing place!

I think this, in a nutshell, is the template of the mega-producer of tomorrow. To understand a creative niche and curate an environment that solves that gap. Big props to Jordan, this is the pinnacle of what I aspire to do in my life! Producer, architect, engineer, interior designer, general handy-person. That's what it takes now - and I think that's amazing!

@Alchemetica 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for showing the "studios". It has a particular look - across between ""new age" and "electronic tech". If by some luck I had a setup like MØXE I would be constantly concerned with dust and arachnids harboured in the rope ceiling, the cloud and what appears to be a high ceiling in the main room with the desk up on the "first" floor. Other concerns, like do you find the rack of acoustic guitars are just waiting for someone to push their chair back a bit too far. I saw what I guess is a floor heating duct and wondered if there is one on the other side heating the instruments. The one thing I didn't catch was if the band, producer, and various others occupy all the sleeping arrangements, do you leave the clients to it and go to another location for sleep? All that I have written is just about the minor things I thought of while watching and are obviously of little consequence. It seems to me recording some tracks at MØXE would be like a kid in a candy store with all the in house instruments and possibilities of trying acoustic instruments and amps in the various spaces. I hope your venture goes well and it is welcoming to see a different approach to layout and feel compared to most commercial studios.

@cornerliston 5 жыл бұрын

Really nice studio and thanks to Jordan showing us this. I wonder where this fascination of using danish/norwegian/faroese letter “ø” comes from? Yøu døn't even knøw høw to prønøunce it. : )

@TORdenTNT 5 жыл бұрын

Èspecialy when they pronouncė it MÅXE instead of MØXE 😅

@Therareoccasions 5 жыл бұрын

The symbol ø is used to indicate the phase angle of an electronic signal. Many preamps and channel strips include a button with this symbol to flip the phase polarity. I'm guessing it's a subtle reference to audio gear or signal processing in general, which makes sense in the logo of a recording studio.

@cornerliston 5 жыл бұрын

True! As a logo it makes perfect sense and annoying I didn't realize that reference. I've seen a few brands/bands using the alphabetical letter and just assumed this was some kind of hipster thing : )

Thank you for the description of her studio, and the partial photos of a few rooms. Can you provide a link to an actual tour? You know, one that shows the mics, the outboard gear, the desk, and photos of the entire recording spaces? To see how to do a studio tour, please review a couple of Andrew Masters' home studio tours on youtube.

@bbfoto7248 3 жыл бұрын

@Nancy Beckett I enjoy Andrew Masters' studio tours as well. But to be fair to SOS, there was an active session going on during the time of their visit for this interview/tour, so SOS were limited on time, and frankly, lucky to gain access at all. Not too many artists would be keen on having their creative workflow interrupted or their session be temporarily put on hold while they have paid for and booked out studio time. So in that regard, Jordan and the artist(s) were extremely gracious and accommodating to SOS.

@Frank Farago It's also used as the universal symbol to indicate PHASE or polarity. Look on the channel strip of any mixing desk/console, mic preamp/line input, DAW GUI, etc for its 180° "Phase" button or switch. That symbol is on every channel strip of Jordan's Neve console. ;-)

Video wise, I'd rather see more b-roll of the studio and gear than her on camera. Plus you could cut out all her "thinking" out loud. Dare you to take a shot every time she says "um..." you'll be drunk on not next month! Lovely place though...
