HOW WE CAN HELP
Recording and Editing
From drumkit setup and tuning to capturing every hit with precision, the focus is always on powerful, controlled recordings that translate. Careful mic placement, signal flow, and performance capture ensure drums and instruments sound tight, clear, and natural.
Editing is used with intention. Tightening timing and improving clarity where needed, without stripping away feel or character. Whether you want precision or a more raw, organic result, the approach always supports the performance and the band’s vision.
Mixing and Mastering
Every project includes a test mix and master, allowing the sound to develop collaboratively and transparently. While mixing and mastering can be handled entirely at Toneshed, you’re also free to work with external engineers if that better suits your project.
Mixing and mastering services are also available for material recorded elsewhere, bringing consistency, impact, and clarity to tracks produced in other studios.
The studio
Live room
The live room was redesigned and rebuilt in 2022 with a clear focus on performance and sound. The acoustics are tuned to support clarity, punch, and energy, allowing instruments to resonate naturally and translate accurately to the recording.
High-quality microphones and signal paths are used to capture performances in detail, preserving dynamics and feel. This room is designed to let bands play comfortably, confidently, and at their best.
Lounge
A comfortable lounge area is available for breaks between sessions. Equipped with basic amenities, it offers a relaxed space to recharge during long studio days.
Whether you need a short break or a moment to reset between takes, the lounge provides a practical and comfortable place to step away from the studio.
Control room
The control room was renovated in 2025 and features extensive bass trapping and high-end acoustic treatment to ensure accurate monitoring across the full frequency range.
Designed by Kees Neervoort (Event Acoustics) with heavy music in mind, the room offers tight low-end control and a balanced, reliable listening environment. What you hear in the control room translates consistently to the final mix, with clarity, punch, and definition.
