Inside your recording studios
The process of creation is different for everyone, yet the need for a quiet, productive space is universal. With self-service access, professional equipment provided free, and affordable day rates, our recording studios help you capture your creativity the moment it sparks.
Pop in for an hour, settle in for a day session, record, mix, edit — the space is yours for whatever purpose you need, and available 24/7 to work around your daily routine.
Recording — production (writing)
A writing space for producers equipped with an audio interface, MIDI keyboard, condenser microphone, headphones, monitors and extras.
Recording — production w/ vocal booth
This has the same equipment specs as our specialist production writing studios, but with a curtained vocal booth and some extra space for high-quality vocal capture.

How's the craic?
Some people think culture and creativity are dying out. We disagree. Music in Dublin holds more value than ever and we love fresh new ideas and initiatives to create more culture. We pay respect to the old guard, like the Dubliners and My Bloody Valentine, while celebrating the new names on our lips, like Or:La, AEMAK, and Alex Gough.
As you know, there are two things that make the heart of Dublin tick — that's food and music. Preferably, the two of them combined. We're pretty fond of these Dublin haunts:
- The Chocolate Factory offers everything you need; from breakfast at Blas Café, to a swampy-tonk live show in the evening.
- Whelan's has been hosting world-class live music for over 25 years
- Fuel yourself at the White Moose café — but remember kids, bring your manners.
