​Welcome to “The Deck”
Our flagship studio, affectionately known as The Deck, was built with one purpose: to help artists, producers, and creators perform at their absolute best. Designed by world-renowned studio architect Steve Durr, whose work includes Jack White, Zac Brown Band, Garth Brooks, and Blackbird Studios, this space combines precision engineering with creative soul.
​
Every detail of The Deck was designed to serve the music and the people making it. From the handcrafted acoustic treatment to the open layout and perfect line-of-sight, it’s a space built for connection, inspiration, and excellence.
At The Center Of It All
At the heart of The Deck sits our SSL AWS 900. A modern classic that bridges the warmth of analog with the precision of digital. But this isn’t just any console...
​
Before finding its home at GFM, this SSL belonged to legendary producer and mixer Ken Lewis, whose credits include Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars (Uptown Funk), Eminem, Kanye West, Drake, Wu-Tang Clan, BTS, and many more.
​
It’s a console with history, a piece of gear that’s helped shape some of the biggest records in modern music. Now it’s here, ready to help shape yours.
