WE WILL HELP YOU with
Recording and Editing
From expertly setting up the drumkit, selecting the right drum heads, and tuning with precision, to capturing every tom fill and blast beat with impeccable detail, we ensure your drums sound powerful and tight.
At Toneshed, we offer meticulous editing to fine-tune every hit, tightening timing and enhancing clarity—only if that’s what your band wants. If you prefer to keep the raw energy and imperfections, we respect that too. Our goal is to support your vision, whether through precision or preserving the real, unfiltered sound of your performance.
Mixing and Mastering
At Toneshed, we always provide a test mix and master for every project, ensuring the band hears the final product as it evolves. However, you’re free to have your recordings mixed and mastered elsewhere if that’s your preference. We respect your creative choices and are committed to delivering a high-quality foundation for your music.
Additionally, we offer mixing and mastering services for tracks recorded in other studios, bringing our expertise to any project to help it reach its full potential.
The studio
Live room
In 2022 we redesigned and rebuilt our live room. It is designed to make your performance come alive. The acoustics are finely tuned to let every note shine, and the energy in the space is undeniable. You’ll feel your instrument resonate and connect with the room, sparking your creativity.
We use top-quality microphones to capture every detail, preserving the raw emotion of your performance. This is where the magic happens – where your music and the room come together to create something truly powerful. Let your sound fill the space and leave an impact on anyone who hears it.
Lounge
Take a break and relax in our comfy lounge area, designed to help you recharge. It’s got everything you need—a kitchen, toilet, and shower—so you can feel right at home between sessions. We know long studio days can be draining, so we’ve got a Nespresso machine and free coffee to keep you going. Whether you’re looking to rest or just clear your head, our lounge is the perfect spot to unwind and refresh.
Control room
In 2025 we renovated the control room and it now features massive bass trapping and high-end acoustic treatments, ensuring every frequency is accurately represented.
Designed by Kees Neervoort (Event Acoustics) to handle the needs of heavy music, this space controls low-end rumble and provides a balanced, clear sound.
The improved acoustics allow us to capture every detail of your tracks with precision, so what you hear in the room is what you’ll get in the final mix. This upgrade ensures your music translates perfectly, with punch and clarity that will stand out across all systems.
