Recording Studio

Our live room and control room are available on a dry hire basis. Bring your own engineer/producer and we’ll provide whatever help you need to get up and running, then leave you to it. Or, if you need an assistant for the duration of your session, that can be provided.

If you need help finding the right engineer or producer for your project, let us know and we’ll be happy to help – we know people.

Recording Equipment

We use a hybrid set-up combining a state-of-the-art computer-based recording system with select vintage and vintage-inspired outboard hardware.

We’re still building up our gear list, so if there’s something you need for your session or favourite software/plug-ins you want to work with, let us know and we’ll look at getting it in.

If you have some favourite preamps, outboard gear or microphones you’d like to bring in for your session, please feel free – we’ve designed our system to easily integrate visiting gear.
