The Area-51 studio is a 66m2 unit wich is stationed somewhere in Poeldijk, The Netherlands. It contains an office where all the bookings and other business-related things are being processed and a big studio where the music of Nosferatu is produced.

From scratch this studio has been build up in 2 years into a huge area with lots of equipment. The studio is double isolated and its acoustic has been calculated and professionally treated with Auralex Acoustic foam plates.

One part of the studio is filled up with a small chill-out area with a couch, a television, and an X-Box just for fun and to relax when the inspiration hits a stop or simply just to relax your ears, because your ears are the most important things in this business!

In the office there are also things to relax and to take a small break:
A Pooltable and a Soccertable.
...But this all has nothing to do with the equipment of the Area-51 studio, so back to the music!

*Note from the artist: Do not think that when you look to the list below and consider buying this listed equipment, you can produce/mix or mastering music automatically! That's a big no! Every artist has his own style, his own equipment and his own preferences. If you are a beginner, just ask your local music-dealer wich equipment is fit perfectly for you and your budget! Do not hesitate to make music when you think you have less equipment; you can easily make something with lots of free software plug-ins wich can be downloaded on several internet sites. Also look for mixing-tutorials to learn how to boost up your sounds.

Do not imitate big artists, because then you will not get any further in a career or such! Just create your own style and go with the flow…
