GEAR

The audio gear we use

Capturing the source

The gear at Toneshed is chosen for accuracy, consistency, and reliability. Microphones, preamps, and conversion are selected to capture performances clearly, without forcing a predefined sound. This results in recordings that translate well and leave room for creative decisions later in the process.

Special attention is given to transient detail, low-end control, and phase coherence — particularly for drums and heavy guitars. The aim is to get the sound right at the source, maximising its potential during mixing.

Workflow and Efficiency

The studio is designed for fast, focused sessions. Routing, templates, and monitoring are set up to minimize downtime and keep attention on performance rather than technical setup.

Efficient workflows allow for quick decisions, consistent results, and smooth transitions from recording to editing and mixing. For bands, this means productive sessions, fewer interruptions, and a clear, structured path from tracking to final mix.
