Located in an idyllic location in Southeast Asia, these recording studios are presented as a “creative oasis” for artists and producers in an idyllic setting composed of three rooms: one large, and two smaller production suites. Craker emphasizes the importance of creating a relaxed and friendly environment for artists, and recognizes that the studio beach setting and facilities (including a spa) contribute to the overall experience: “We enjoy the process of inviting someone when they acclimatize and enjoy the facilities.”

Craker's studio mixes technologies classic and contemporary monitoring. They are core They are the revered main monitors Genelec 1035, coming from the iconic Townhouse Studios in London: “I have a very clear memory of the first time I knew I loved Genelec monitors, I was working on Metropolis with Jim Lowe using the 1035s and then we moved to Hugh Padgham's studio with the same monitors in west London.” To complement this historic setup, Craker has recently introduced three-way coaxial studio monitors 8361A from the series “The Ones” and the 8341A. As part of the family Smart Active Monitoring From Genelec, the near-field precision of the Ones complements the combination of high SPL and long throw of the 1035.

They are the ones we rely on as our primary reference point, and they don't let us down.”
