Tampa Bay Remodel

When Don wants to go to his own special world, it’s also right at home. Fortunately, Dupre was able to convert part of the corporate kitchen of the original house into a recording studio for Don’s band. It was no small challenge to make this conversion, since recording studios require sound panels made of very thick fiberglass and foam, several layers of plywood and extra dense drywall. Even the geometrics of the room matter, because every piece or object reflects sound in a certain direction, and a good studio must have as pure a balance of sound waves as possible.
