Two rooms with one window between them
The live room is big enough for a five piece band to play together, with wood panels and movable screens to dry the sound out or let it ring. The vocal booth sits behind glass, so the singer and the band can see each other while the takes stay separate.
The control room is treated for honest listening, so a mix that sounds right here also sounds right in a car, on earbuds and on a club system.
- Drum kit, bass amp and two guitar amps kept in the room
- A tuned upright piano
- Separate headphone mixes for up to six players
- A lounge with a kitchen for long days
How a session day runs
From the request to the files in your hands, with one engineer looking after the whole day.
Send a request
Pick a session, a date and a start time, and tell us what you want to record.
Plan it together
A short call a few days before covers the songs, the tempo, the line up and any reference tracks.
Load in and sound check
The first half hour goes on setting up and getting every instrument and headphone mix right.
Record and take it home
Takes are saved and backed up as you go, and you leave with rough mixes and the session files.
Mixing, mastering and editing
Recorded here or somewhere else, send us the songs with a few notes on how they should feel.

Bring these to the session
A little preparation saves expensive studio time. These are the things our engineers wish every artist knew before day one.
| Bring | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Guitars restrung a day or two before | New strings sound bright but need time to settle and hold their tuning |
| Fresh drum heads and your own cymbals | Worn heads lose their tone, and cymbals are the most personal part of a kit |
| Lyrics on paper or on your phone | The engineer follows along and marks the lines that need another take |
| The tempo of each song | A click at the right speed keeps overdubs tight and edits clean |
| Two or three reference songs | They show the sound you want faster than any description can |
| Water at room temperature | Singers keep their voices longer without ice cold drinks |
Inside the studio
The control room, the live room and the people who use them, on ordinary session days.
Heard in the control room (example reviews)
The band tracked four songs live in one full day. The engineer kept the energy of the room and still had every part clean enough to fix one wrong note.
Two hosts, two microphones and no echo at last. The edited episodes come back sounding like a radio show, not a kitchen table.
Vocals recorded in the booth over a beat produced at home. The engineer pushed for one more take on the bridge, and that was the one used.
Questions before booking studio time
Is an engineer included?
Yes. Every session includes one of our engineers, who sets up, records and saves the files. If you bring your own producer, our engineer still runs the room and the equipment.
Who owns the recordings?
You do. The studio claims no rights in your songs or your recordings. Rights and royalties for the music itself are a matter between the writers and performers, and the rules differ from country to country.
What do we take home?
Rough mixes as audio files on the day, plus the full session saved in a common format so any engineer can open it later. Bring a drive, or we share a download link.
Can someone follow the mix from elsewhere?
Yes. We stream the mix in high quality to anyone with the link, and notes can be sent as we work.
What happens if we run over?
Extra time is $50 an hour when the room is not booked after you. If the next session is booked, we warn you an hour before the end.
What if we need to cancel?
Cancel at least 72 hours before and the deposit moves to a new date. Later cancellations keep the deposit, unless someone is ill and we manage to fill the slot.
