Music and audio recording and production services

At Audiomonkey our philosophy is very simple:

We endeavour to create the best environment possible to record your music in and to make it sound great!

We designed a purpose built Studio which is warm and inviting and sounds great to play in. Many studios make the mistake of overdoing sound treatment and creating a dead sounding space. When you sing or play in these rooms it sounds as if your notes are dropping straight to the floor! Surely you can never give your best performance in a space like this! Instead we have carefully controlled our room reverberations to create a space which is good to perform in and also makes great sound recordings.

At Audiomonkey we have a great combination of analog and digital recording equipment including a collection of top class microphones; everything you need to produce pristine sound recordings. Browse our site for further details.
