OUR SERVICES
What we offer in our recording studio
We offer our clients complete control over the recording session, and we’ll use our expertise to make suggestions and come up with fresh ideas.
There are three iso-booths available, a keyboard corner, drums, many great guitars and amps, percussion instruments, all to your use. (Check The Studio).
We’ve created a comfortable homely atmosphere where you can relax and work without stress or peer pressure. Gear, facilities and location of a recording studio are important, but good vibes, a safe and inclusive space, respect for your person and ideas and the absence of big egos, are what's really needed whilst making music. Without any obstacles, creativity can sparkle and feelings and ideas can flow freely.

Love,

Recording
With a broad musical taste and experience in many genres, we record virtually everything. From pop, rock, hip-hop, indie, to jazz ensembles, classical music, singer/songwriter, rap, vocalists, to film scores and voice over work. The most important thing is that you as an artist or client are feeling at ease with the place and its people. That's why we invite you to meet beforehand, or have a chat on the phone.
We're big advocates of recording acts in a live setting, capturing the energy of making music together and the studio's beloved acoustics.
Mixing
Wether it's recorded in our studio, a homestudio or anywhere else, we'll mix your songs to your liking, at any given time or deadline. Our philosophy in music making is to work as closely with the artist as possible, and to never impose ideas or directions on their work. You are the owner, our goal is to let your music come to life exactly the way you want, with a complete sense of ownership.
Also hit us up if you wanna mix or produce music yourself in one of our rooms!
Pre-production
Pre-pro like a pro.
Tired of bad acoustics, scruffy gear and time pressure in a rehearsal studio where you have difficulty hearing each other properly, let alone enjoy that voice memo of the songs you're working on? Next to recording your music professionally, IJland Studios also offers itself as an accesible place for pre-production. Writing, rehearsing, trying things out with the many instruments we have and being able to relax at the same time, it's here, at an affordable price, in the coolest environment.
You can use individual mixes on headphones during playing, and even hit the record button yourself to fetch a proper multitrack demo in yor favorite DAW. Heck, you can even take that session home and edit those tracks to another level! We think proper and smooth pre-production is greatly beneficial to your development as an artist or group, highly enjoyable and the best preperation for care-free studio recordings.

Our aim is to create a safe environment where we think and feel along with you, with the utmost respect for your ideas, doubts, or insecurities. You'll never be forced in any direction. We work with respect for what is already there, and will always look for the best way to make you and your music flourish, so that it becomes truly yours.
