About Me

The Iguana Studios offer the most state of the art, high quality equipment available now. The heart of the system is Nuendo. High quality audio converters by Lynx â„¢ and MOTUâ„¢ as well as the Antelopeâ„¢ Isochrone OCX master clock guarantee perfect audio quality. The especially in-measured and acoustically optimized control room features the reference monitors ADAMâ„¢ S3A and allows for perfection and result-oriented work in recording, mixing and mastering projects.
Dipl. Ing Markus Bertram (Firma mbakustik) did the acoustic design of the rooms. The resulting acoustics are very pleasant and alive and still direct enough. Special designed acoustic installments can be adjusted individual to fit the needs of various production requirements.
Powerful DSP solutions like the TCâ„¢ Powercore and Universal Audioâ„¢ UAD1 assure quality and flexibility. For pure and precise audio processing, we use plug-ins like the well-known Sony Oxford plug-ins.
A few of the possibilities we offer are, Sample precise editing, sound replacement, re-amping, timing and intonation adjustments as well as extreme realistic room simulations by means of impulse responses.
Christoph Brandes is a drummer himself who played in several (mostly Death and Blackmetal) bands. He is the leader of Iguana Studios and established his success with productions like Necrophagist, Fragments of Unbecoming, Unlight, Deadborn and many others. His main fields of interests are large scale and complex productions, which do not necessarily have to reside in the field of metal. He is known for his mix and mastering work, which thanks to internet are not restricted by geographical location.
Christoph Brandes: “Most important to me when I’m working with a band is good communication. It is essential to know where the bands want to go to achieve the perfect result!”

Die Iguana Studios bieten die derzeit modernste und hochwertigste Technik. Basis unseres Systems ist Nuendo. High-end Wandlereinheiten von Lynx ™ und MOTU ™ sowie die Anthelope ™ Isochrone OCX Masterclock garantieren perfekte Audioqualität, die eingemessene und akustisch optimierte Abhörumgebung in Verbindung mit den Referenz Monitoren ADAM ™ S3A ermöglichen Perfektion und ergebnissorientiertes Arbeiten bei Aufnahmen, Mix und Mastering.
Die Räume wurden von Dipl. Ing. Markus Bertram [Firma mbakustik] geplant und zeichnen sich durch eine sehr angenehme und lebendige - dabei aber trotzdem ausreichend trockene Akustik aus. Speziell angefertigte Akustik-Installationen ermöglichen eine individuelle Anpassung der Innenakustik an die jeweiligen Produktionsanforderungen.
Leistungsfähigen DSP-Lösungen, wie z. B. TC ™ Powercore und Universal Audio ™ UAD1 bieten Qualität und Flexibilität in Sachen Audioprocessing. Für messerscharfe und unverfälschte Signalbearbeitung verwenden wir z.B. die legendären Sony Oxford Plugins. Samplegenaues Editing, Soundreplacement, Reamping, Timing und Intonationskorrekturen sowie extrem realistische Raumsimulationen mittels Impulsantworten sind nur ein Teil unserer Möglichkeiten.
Christoph Brandes, der selbst jahrelang als Schlagzeuger verschiedenster Bands - zuletzt hauptsächlich mit Schwerpunkt Death und Blackmetal - unterwegs war, leitet nun mit grossem Erfolg die Iguana Studios und hat sich unter anderem mit Produktionen für Necrophagist, Fragments of Unbecoming, Unlight, Deadborn etc. einen Namen gemacht. Sein Hauptbetätigungsfeld sieht er in aufwändigen, komplexen Produktionen, welche sich nicht nur auf den Metalbereich beschränken. Mittlerweile ist auch seine Arbeit bei Abmischungs und Masteringfragen - dank FTP Server und Internet auch bei grösseren geogrophischen Entfernungen möglich - sehr gefragt.
Christoph Brandes: "Mir ist Kommunikation sehr wichtig um zusammen mit den Bands ein perfektes Ergebniss zu bekommen".
