RECORDING STUDIOS IN HAMBURG

UPAYA SOUND RECORDING STUDIO

UPAYA SOUND is an intimate recording studio in Hamburg for emerging independent rock, indie and folk bands.

The studio is located in the north-east of Hamburg, Germany on the edge of both suburban and rural areas. Surrounded by forests and fields, many walking and hiking paths give you the opportunity to clear your mind and relax between recording sessions.

I put a lot of time and effort into the studio lighting and interior design to create an atmosphere for a musicians to relax, focus and get creative. The 40m² space isn’t huge, but we are able to get up close and personal to record and produce authentic music straight from your soul. For larger projects and live sessions we can rent out a bigger studio in Hamburg before recording additional overdubs and mixing at Upaya Sound.

I will guide you through the entire process, from critiquing your band room demos, to pre-production, recording, editing, mixing and mastering. I always give honest feedback, and creative input where needed, but can also take a back seat and let you produce your own music if need be.

I use a number of microphones, preamps, analogue EQ as well as plugins and digital effects to turn your raw tracks into an album of bold and innovative songs with warmth, depth and clarity. Or cold, hard and aggressive, whichever you prefer!

As an active musician, guitarist, songwriter and producer, I thoroughly understand the musician psyche – the highs and lows, the elation, doubts and fears. I work with you to create and capture the best version of your music in a setting where you feel comfortable enough to deliver the best performance.
