Amsterdam Recording Company

Amsterdam based recording studio with at the heart a unique 32 channel Polygram (Philips) mixing console from 1972.

We have a wide range of rare and vintage mics, pre-amps etc and have worked with the likes of The Kills, Joe Bonamassa, Jack Garrat, Madball, Hospitality, Obits, Taking Back Sunday, Electric Wire Hustle, Popa Chubby and Hospitality.

The studio has a nice big live room (75m2/807 square feet) with a perfect balance between reflection and absorption which ensures amazing natural sounding recordings in the full frequency range. The large space and how we’ve set everything up also allows musicians to record together in one room, thus capturing the energy of playing live on tape.

Being musicians ourselves we wanted to create our dream studio - a place where everything and anything is possible and to give other artists and producers the feeling of being like a kid in a candy store. Besides also offering a huge selections of amps, mics and instruments to choose from, we also wanted to create a unique and warm atmosphere to make everybody feel right at home.
