H.O.M.E. Studios ("House Of Music & Entertainment") is the largest recording-studio complex in Hamburg, Germany. The founder and owner of H.O.M.E. Studios is German music producer and songwriter Franz Plaza. H.O.M.E. Studios has been situated in the middle of Hamburg's Eimsbuttel-District since the 1980s.
History
[edit]The studio's original name, Château du Pape, was changed in 1998, after Plaza acquired and reconfigured it. H.O.M.E. released productions for bands including Echt and Selig, as well as recordings and productions for Udo Lindenberg, Nena, and Rammstein.
Productions for Eminem, Mariah Carey, Xavier Naidoo, Herbert Grönemeyer, Lauryn Hill, as well as part of the album Songs of Faith and Devotion by Depeche Mode, were recorded and engineered there.
