In this episode of Home Studio Tours, I’m in Singapore (East Coast) checking out Blue Ocean Studios—an insanely cozy, professional-level home studio built by Eric and his partner Nicole. I’m a big gear head, and in Singapore (like everywhere else), soundproofing is always the headache—especially if you’ve got drums in the space. So I wanted to see how Eric tackled isolation and acoustics, and he didn’t mess around: Voustics handled the build, with proper measurements, isolation, and treatment designed to keep the room musical—not dead. The big highlight is the German Steinway (Hamburg) A188, tuned regularly, and built into a workflow that helps musicians feel relaxed instead of “red light panic.” Eric’s whole philosophy is nurturing, family-friendly vibes so players perform better—because when you’re relaxed, you play better. We also get into the recording side: multiple mic options for piano (AKG 214, matched sE8 pair, a stereo ribbon), a Gretsch Renown kit (sunburst, jazz/fusion leaning), headphone distribution for multiple players, and a clean tracking setup feeding Logic. If you’re a local musician looking for a fair-priced Steinway recording/practice room—or you just love studio builds—this one’s worth a look.
