Jatin Arora Music Studio sits on the third floor of a renovated haveli off Lodhi Road, New Delhi, where exposed brick walls absorb midday heat and historic jharokha balconies now frame a skyline of Ashoka trees and glass high-rises. Visitors climb a stone staircase softened by hand-woven dhurries and enter through an old Burma-teak door fitted with a discreet Near-Field Communication (NFC) lock; a phone tap opens the latch into 900 square feet of controlled acoustical calm.
Inside, daylight is filtered through double-glazed clerestory windows and secondary motorized blackout panels. Six-inch floating floors rest on neoprene pads, decoupling the room from the city’s constant hum. The rear wall hides a variable-depth diffuser built from recycled mango-wood slats that rotate to shift the reverb time between 0.2 and 0.7 seconds at 1 kHz, allowing Jatin to audition pop vocals, indie guitars, or orchestral strings without changing rooms. Twenty-eight GIK Acoustics panels in a custom indigo palette preserve the rustic aesthetics while taming first reflections.
At the heart of the studio floats a 48-channel Solid State Logic AWS 924Δelta console, its SuperAnalogue circuitry paired with an Antelope Audio Orion 32HD Gen 3 interface running Pro Tools, Logic, and Studio One on a rack-mounted Mac Studio M2 Ultra. Analog warmth arrives via Rupert Neve Designs Shelford 5052 pre-amps, a pair of ELAM 251E reissues, and a lovingly calibrated Studer A-80 ¼-inch tape machine. Vintage keys—1974 Rhodes Mk1, Sequential Prophet-10, and a mint Wurlitzer 200—are racked beside a Moog Subsequent 37. Guitars hang along a wall: 1959 Gibson ES-335, a Martin 00-18 retro-fitted with KK Trinity sensors, and Jatin’s first instrument, a battered Taylor 110e used to compose his debut EP.
Monitoring is done on a three-way ATC SCM25A system supplemented by avantone MixCubes and Sennheiser HD-800S cans. A dedicated Dolby Atmos rig with seven Genelec 8030s plus two 7040 subs creates immersive stems for film and spatial streaming clients.
Behind a sliding barn door lies the WhisperRoom vocal booth—6 by 6 feet, decoupled, with an internal iso-cloud vocal mount and color-changing LED strip to help singers find mood. Live drums occupy a 120-square-foot maple alcove lined with sand-filled gobos; Jatin often swaps the gobo positions to capture different kit sizes—tight funk pocket one day, thunderous indie rock the next.
The lounge corner mixes old India with new beginning: Diwan-style seating upholstered in khadi, a Nagaland cane coffee table supporting a La Marzocco Linea Mini, and a wall-mounted vinyl library curated by Jatin’s mother, a classical radio host. Artists sip single-origin Tikin Bot espresso while listening to needle-drops on a Rega Planar 3 through Naim Uniti Atom.
Sessions book in four-hour blocks, inclusive of an engineer and a runner. Rates start at ₹6,000 an hour for tracking, ₹8,000 for Atmos mixing, with an early-morning “birdsong” discount before 9 a.m. Jatin, a Berklee-trained mix engineer and tabla player, monitors every session personally until the signal hits −16 LUFS with intact transients.
