We pride ourselves on our independence of spirit and the recording studio is the environment in which we are usually expected to be most 'at home'. Sometimes, however, we find ourselves in situations over which we do not have as much control as we would like. We should probably have avoided hiring anything less than a perfect studio but occasionally the irritating flaw that you have decided to ignore and 'live-with' could result in you or other people suffering physical or medical damage.

The imperative to do something about it has come into sharper focus for many producers who have crossed over to become studio owning entrepreneurs. Soon they discover that clients and staff could hold them responsible for injuries received at the workplace and the extraordinary cost of acquiring proper insurance to protect against claims from clients and even former employees.

Shortcomings in studio wiring, monitoring, equipment placement and even hospitality areas load a responsibility on studio owners which sometimes even the most expensive insurance cannot defray.
