Music isn’t just a sound—it’s an experience. It’s the echo of creativity, the hum of inspiration, and the subtle vibration of emotion. Now, imagine all that wrapped into one intimate space—an attic bathed in soft light, lined with instruments, and humming with possibility. That’s the world of Recording by the Attic Studio—a place where every note feels alive and every artist feels heard.

A World-Class Studio Hidden in the Attic

If you picture a professional recording studio, you might think of sleek sound booths, flashy control rooms, and rows of blinking consoles. But what if I told you that true magic can happen in a cozy attic room filled with gear—and heart?

That’s exactly what Recording by the Attic Studio is all about. The owner’s vision? To build a world-class studio in a compact, humble space—and he has delivered. Right at its core is the legendary Neve 1073 DPX mic preamp, a classic piece of studio history. With its powerful Class-A sound and built-in EQ, it’s like having a vintage tone machine on your desk.

But that’s just the foundation. For dynamics, there’s a Neve 33609 stereo compressor—prized for its rich, musical behavior. And while the outboard effects are simple (with a Lexicon PCM91 reverb), the studio relies on top-tier plugins from brands like Eventide, FabFilter, Valhalla, and others for its sonic color.

Everything feeds into a high-end audio interface and a SuperAnalogue mixer, providing pristine sound capture and control. Every bit of recording—every breath, every ambient hum—can be caught with clarity.

A Producer’s Dream: Gear That Tells a Story

The charm of Recording by the Attic Studio isn’t just the gear—it’s the story each instrument tells.

• Keyboards & Synths Galore: Over 20 synths! Including a lush Nord Stage 2, a classic Hammond organ, analog icons like the Moog Sub 37 and Dave Smith Prophet 08, and additional keyboards from Roland, Yamaha, Arturia, Behringer, Novation, Korg, you name it. Each brings a different texture, whether you’re chasing warmth, grit, or space.

• Vintage Rack Units: There’s a Yamaha Motif-Rack ES, a Roland Super JV owned by a member of an old band, a Korg Wavestation, and more—each a piece of gear history that fuels creativity.

• Microphones with Character: From the neutral clarity of AKG C414 to the rich sheen of Neumann TLM 103, plus other rare capsules and a handy Shure SM57—vocal, instrument, room, or whatever you record—there’s a mic that’ll capture the emotion just right.

• Isolation and Acoustic Care: A portable acoustic booth and thoughtfully treated room mean that even with the loft setting, the sound remains focused and beautifully controlled.

Hear with Your Own Ears: Mixing and Mastering Setup

Recording the sound is just step one. Recording by the Attic Studio also excels in shaping that sound into something that touches hearts.

• Mixing Precision: A pair of Adam A7X monitors with a Sub7 subwoofer gives a solid, accurate sound to mix on. And if the engineer wants a second opinion—or plans for mobile playback—there’s no shortage of reference monitors in the room (plus headphones that can detail every nuance high and low).

• Listening Like the Pros: Sennheiser HD650s for mixing clarity, and Audio-Technica M50xs for a thorough recording reference—they offer two very different takes on what’s being played back.

• Guitar and Bass Rigs: Fender Stratocaster, Jazz Bass, a unique Odyssey guitar, and a flexible amp pedal setup make live tracking vibrant and versatile.

• Drums and Beats on Tap: Physical drums aren’t in the picture—but electronic drums and a suite of classic Roland machines (TR-8S, TR-707, TR-09, TB-03) bring all the groove, all the time.

A Studio with Heart and History

Any recording space can be functional, but few spaces feel alive in the way Recording by the Attic Studio does. Why? Because it honors the past while inviting creativity—and that’s reflected in every signed photo and artifact scattered around.

On the walls and shelves you'll find autographs and memorabilia from music legends—icons like Elton John, Carole King, Rick Wakeman, Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, and more. They're not just decorations—they’re reminders that creativity is timeless and that artists lean on each other across decades.

There’s even a patch bay signed by electronic music icon Moby. That’s not just gear—it's inspiration.
