Building My Dream Studio: A Journey to ENIGMA
Introduction:
Hey there! It's ANGEMI, and I am thrilled to share my incredible journey of building my dream studio, ENIGMA, with all of You. As a DJ and producer Based in Italy, I have spent the last 15 years honing my craft and creating music that resonates with people. In this article, I will take you through the evolution of my studio, from its humble beginnings to the state-of-the-art setup it is today. Join me as I recount the ups and downs, the equipment upgrades, and the meticulous planning that went into creating my ultimate music production haven.
The Journey Begins: My First Studio
Let's start at the very beginning of my career when my passion for music production took hold. Picture a tiny room that used to be a laundry room in my house. At just 11 years old, I cleared out the space, placed a laptop and an old keyboard inside, and built my very first studio. It may have been small, but it was where the magic happened. I spent countless hours in that room, producing hit records and honing my skills. The fact that some of my biggest successes originated from that little space still blows my mind.
The Upgrade: Moving to a Bigger Space
Fast forward to the present, and my journey led me to a pivotal moment – moving to a bigger space. After years of utilizing my makeshift studio, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Over two years of planning and construction, my father and brother, who work in the construction industry, transformed my vision into reality. They meticulously handled the building works, ensuring that everything was perfect for the next phase of my musical journey.
Equipment Upgrades: Building the Dream Studio
With the foundation in place, it was time to focus on acquiring the best equipment that would elevate my music production capabilities. I wanted nothing but the finest tools to bring my creative ideas to life. After extensive research, I found the perfect gear at midiware.com. This fantastic Website offered a wide range of music production equipment at competitive prices.
The equipment lineup in my dream studio includes:
4.1 Apollo twin X Quad:
4.2 SE Microphone:
4.3 Novation sl61 MKIII:
4.4 Arturia keylab 88 MKII:
4.5 Genelec 8340:
4.6 Launchpad MKIII:
By investing in these top-notch tools, I was able to enhance my workflow and bring out the best in my music production process. Moreover, the addition of a Pioneer XDJ RX3 DJ console allowed me to practice my DJ skills conveniently within my studio premises, eliminating the need to rent or wait for club performances.
Enhancing the Workspace: RGB Chair and Accessories
To Create a perfect ambiance for music production, I partnered with NOUA, a company that provided me with an RGB chair, RGB keyboard, and RGB lamps. Their products not only added a visually stunning element to the studio but also enhanced my creativity during long hours of work.

Audio Treatment: Improving the Studio Acoustics
One of the most crucial aspects of a music studio is the audio treatment. To ensure optimal sound quality and productivity, it was essential to eliminate echoes and reverberation. I enlisted the expertise of PL4TFORM, a renowned studio with Vincenzo Callea and Luca Lento, who designed and created customized audio treatment panels. These panels not only served a functional purpose but also incorporated my logo, adding a touch of personalization and aesthetics to the studio.
Additional Features: Fridge, Couch, and Bathroom
As any studio owner knows, creating a comfortable environment is vital. I took AdVantage of the extra space in my upgraded studio to add a small fridge and a cozy couch. These additions not only provide a place to relax during breaks but also serve as a welcoming spot for fellow DJs or singers who come to visit. Additionally, having a bathroom inside the studio ensures convenience and uninterrupted creative flow.
The Excitement of a New Beginning: ENIGMA Studio
With ENIGMA Studio now fully equipped and meticulously designed, I am beyond excited for this fresh new chapter in my career. The possibilities are endless, and I am confident that this upgrade will elevate my music to new heights. Stay tuned as I document my journey and share the incredible music I am working on in the coming months.
