The room is yours

Studio Hire & Dry Hire

Book the studio by the hour or day, with or without an engineer. Treated rooms, high-end gear, and a live room for producers, engineers, and artists who want the space.

Sometimes you just need a great room. Studio hire gives producers, engineers, and artists access to our acoustically treated spaces and high-end gear on their own terms. Book the live room, control room, production suite, or voiceover booth by the hour or day, with an engineer or as a self-operated dry hire.

Dry hire suits engineers and producers who bring their own workflow and want a professional, quiet, well-equipped space to work in. You get the rooms, monitoring, microphones, preamps, and headphone systems, set up and ready to go. For clients who want support without full engineering, we can provide a tech to help with setup and patching.

The studio also works well for rehearsals with recording, content and video shoots that need clean audio, writing sessions, and voiceover self-recording. Whatever you are working on, you get a comfortable, inspiring environment built for sound, without paying for services you do not need.

FAQ

Studio Hire FAQs

What is the difference between dry hire and an engineered session?+

Dry hire is the room and gear on a self-operated basis, ideal if you bring your own engineer or run the session yourself. An engineered session includes one of our engineers running the room for you. You can also book the room with a tech for setup support in between.

Can I bring my own engineer or producer?+

Yes. Dry hire is built for exactly that. Your engineer or producer runs the session and we can provide a tech to assist with setup and patching if needed.

Do you offer hourly rates?+

Yes. We offer both hourly and daily hire so you can book the exact amount of time you need. Get in touch with your dates and we will confirm availability and pricing.

Can I self-record voiceover in the booth?+

You can. The voiceover booth is available for self-operated hire, and we can set it up so you only need to hit record. We can also add editing and mastering afterwards if you want a finished file.
