Today, it&#8217;s also where many of the sample packs that are released on <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/features\/sounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Splice Sounds<\/a> are crafted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the video above, <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/author\/maxrewak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Max Nepa-Rewak<\/a> and Cameell Hanna gave us an exclusive tour of Sound Factory. Join us as we walk through the lounge, control room, and live rooms, and discuss key pieces of hardware and historic stories that make the studio such a legendary space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Any time you walk in here and see all these records, there&#8217;s a real sense of history,&#8221; Max comments. &#8220;Even if we&#8217;re not actually making records, it&#8217;s incredible to know that you&#8217;re standing in the same space that Linda Ronstadt or Oingo Boingo were at some point&#8230; I like to think that the sound waves are still bouncing around.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;An acoustician told me once that acoustics are one part science and one part witchcraft,&#8221; Cameell responds. &#8220;So there might be a little bit of sorcery at play.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What was your favorite part of the tour? Whose studio would you like to see a tour of next?
