Capture every nuance
Music & Band Recording
Multi-track recording for solo artists and full bands in an acoustically treated live room, with high-end microphones, preamps, and an engineer who knows how to capture a great take.
Every record starts with the performance. Our live room is tuned to bring out the character of drums, guitars, bass, keys, brass, strings, and vocals, with variable acoustics so a kit can sound tight and controlled or open and roomy depending on the record you are making. Clear sightlines and dialed-in headphone mixes keep the whole band locked in and playing to each other.
The control room runs on high-end microphones, preamps, and converters, so what lands on the multitrack is a true, detailed capture of the source. We track to a click or free, comp takes as we go, and keep the session organised and labelled so the mix stage is fast and painless. You are welcome to sit in and guide the sound, or trust the engineer to run the room while you focus on playing.
We record everything from a single acoustic guitar and vocal through to full live bands tracking together in the room. Sessions can be fully engineered, or booked as a dry hire if you bring your own engineer. Either way you get a session file that is clean, well gain-staged, and ready for our mixing and mastering stage or for export to your own mixer.

How It Works
- 01
Pre-production
We talk through your songs, references, arrangements, and schedule so the tracking days are focused and efficient. Good preparation is the difference between a rushed session and a great one.
- 02
Setup and tones
We mic up, choose preamps, and dial in tones for each source, checking phase and gain-staging so the raw tracks already sound like a record before a single fader moves at mix.
- 03
Tracking
We capture takes, comp the best performances, and keep everyone locked in with clear headphone mixes. You can direct the room or leave it to the engineer.
- 04
Handoff to mix
We tidy, label, and consolidate the session, then move it to our mixing stage or export stems for your own mixer.

FAQ
Music Recording FAQs
How many days do I need to record a song?+
A single band track is usually one day for drums, bass, and guitars, with a second day for vocals and overdubs. Solo acoustic songs can be done in a few hours. We scope this with you in pre-production so you book the right amount of time and are not paying for hours you do not need.
Can the whole band play together in the room?+
Yes. The live room is set up for full-band tracking with separation and clear sightlines, so you can capture the energy of everyone playing at once and still keep enough isolation to fix or replace individual parts later.
Do I need to bring my own engineer?+
No. Every session comes with an experienced tracking engineer unless you specifically want a dry hire. If you have your own engineer or producer, they are welcome to run the room and we can provide a tech to assist.
What do I get at the end of a recording session?+
You get a clean, labelled, well gain-staged session file plus consolidated audio ready for mixing. From there we can take it straight into our mixing and mastering stage, or you can take the files to any mixer you like.
