Recording
Equipped with high-class preamps, an exclusive selection of microphones and 16 inputs total, the studio offers a comfortable 13 m2 soundproofed recording room. The room within a room concept was implemented focusing equally on extraordinarily high isolation as well as the careful use of sustainable materials. Due to its flexible partitions, the studio can be specifically modified to fit all kinds of recording needs and purposes from voice over and vocal recording to multiple instruments recordings.

When faced with challenges, we love to experiment, test our limits and even break the rules to find the perfect sound. With our steadily growing sound archive, virtual and real instruments, synthesizers and the possibility to record our own foleys, we can create the ideal sound design for your individual project.

We produce music for musicians, bands and commercials. The studio is equipped with a huge array of guitars, amps and drums to find the perfect sound for almost every genre.
