ABOUT

I’m a drummer for bands like Lovell's Blade, NembrionicMaggie & The JAR, Thin White Duke, Iron Maiden Undercover and Painkiller (Judas Priest Tribute) and I also work as a hired gun for various pop and tribute bands. I love being on stage, but I’m just as passionate about recording and producing music, from pop and rock to metal.

This studio was built in my garage in 2018 and acoustically optimized — originally for my own drum recordings. Over time, more and more artists asked to record here as well. Despite its compact size (10 m²), live 24-track acoustic drum recordings are easily achievable, and with a bit of creativity even a three-piece band can record here*.
The studio is fully air-conditioned — and yes, we serve great coffee too.

POSSIBILITIES

Drum tracking

A full acoustic drum kit recording is easily achievable, captured with multiple high-end microphones from leading brands and models for a rich, professional sound. If desired, the drums can be expertly tuned in advance, and after recording drum editing can be added to tighten and enhance the performance.

Voice tracking

Whether you’re recording vocals, a podcast, or a voice-over, it’s all possible here — with a wide selection of microphones to match your voice and style. Vocal editing is also available — from cleaning up takes to detailed editing and pitch correction, all to get the best possible vocal performance.

(E-)guitar tracking

Electric guitar recording is available using a dedicated guitar amp and/or speaker cabinet, miked with one or multiple microphones. For more flexibility, guitars can also be recorded via the Headrush MX5, offering a wide range of well-known amps, cabinets, and effects. In addition, a broad selection of amp and cab simulation plug-ins allows you to shape or even completely change your guitar tone after recording if needed.

Other instruments

Other (acoustic and electric) instrument tracking can be recorded just as easily and with great results.

Mixing

Whether you’ve recorded your band in the studio or captured a live show, your tracks can be mixed to perfection here. Using professional expertise, high-end gear, and industry-standard plug-ins, I deliver a polished, professional mix.

Editing

Recorded one or more instruments, or even a full band (multitrack), and want everything to sound tighter and cleaner? Professional audio editing is available to polish your recordings. Unwanted noise is removed, parts are seamlessly edited together, and transitions are made smooth and transparent — all without sounding edited.

Mastering

Whether your track was mixed here or elsewhere, professional mastering is available to bring it to its full potential. A final step that adds clarity, power, and consistency to your sound.

Graphic design

With a background in graphic design and extensive experience creating album and CD artwork for my own bands and many others, I can also help with the visual side of your production. From concept and design to final prepress, everything can be taken care of in one place.
