Grand's Studio

Grand’s Studio is the namesake brainchild of a Mahidol music graduate Voravat Vivatvanich (Grand) who did a long stint working as an audio engineer with Grammy before he decided to set up his own music production house. Only six years out of uni, Grand was the youngest studio owner we met and is definitely a “baller” in our eyes. His studio is pretty insane and is also the second biggest of the ones we saw; he is located out in Phutta Monton though which explains why he’s got the space for it. You have the state-of-theart recording studio downstairs with special lighting features that are changed depending on the personality of the recording artist, i.e. introvert or extrovert? The vintage dim lighting with fairy lights scattered around the recording mic was what really did it for us introverts, setting the mood to record something magical! He’s got a separate mastering room upstairs where he spends most of his time and fantastic flair for making anyone sound like Skylar Grey or her male equivalent. What we loved most about Grand was his willingness to continue learning about his craft. The chill-out area in the downstairs recording studio is packed (neatly) with every possible book on sound that you would want to get your eyes on. Baller!

Pro-tip: Ask Grand if you can have a read through his copy of Recording Unhinged by Sylvia Massy. If you’re looking for inspiration or some unconventional ways to approach recording techniques, this is the book for you!
