Jason Jet hangs the GrindHaus Studios sign at his new coworking recording studio in east Charlotte.
In the dark, narrow hallway at GrindHaus Studios, a neon blue light glows near the ceiling, creating a nightclub aura. Soft music beats thump from the open door of one room, and Jason Jet offers some instructions.
“Kind of talk in the hallway and listen to yourself talk,” he says.
In what he calls “The Tunnel” nothing seems amiss. Jet ducks into the doorway of the room known as The Gallery.
“Then come in here and close the door,” he says.
Inside the soundproofed, specially outfitted recording room, voices sound crisper, less muffled. It’s as if you had been swimming underwater and you’ve suddenly burst through the surface and cleared your ears. This is what voices and music are supposed to sound like.
