The Studio
Book Paradise Recording in its entirety — the Rainforest vocal room, the Rock live room, the control room, and the lounge. One session, the whole place.
the studio
One booking. The whole place.
Every booking gets all of Paradise. Track vocals in the plant-filled Rainforest Room, cut drums and a full band in the Rock Room with its 1917 Chickering baby grand and pre-tuned Ludwig kit, and mix on Focal Twin6 monitors through API, Neve and Tube-Tech outboard. No other client is in the building while you're here.
Rainforest Room
A lush, plant-filled vocal room with treated walls and a warm signal chain that flatters everything from belt-to-the-rafters pop to hushed late-night raps.
Rock Room
A proper live room — high ceiling, 1917 Chickering baby grand, full Ludwig kit pre-tuned and pre-mic'd, and enough amps and guitars to start three bands.

Quick questions.
- Do I get both rooms?
- Yes. Every booking is the whole studio — the Rainforest Room, the Rock Room, the control room and the lounge. Nobody else is in the building during your session.
- Can I bring my own engineer?
- Yes — pick “Bring your own engineer” when you book and the studio is yours at a flat hourly rate with no staff engineer on the clock. Our engineer is included in the standard session price.
- Can my whole band fit?
- Yes — the Rock Room comfortably holds a four-to-five piece with isolation, and the Rainforest Room is right there for vocals. Bigger? Email us first.
- Is the piano in tune?
- Tuned monthly by a professional. Let us know when you book if you need a fresh tune before your session.
- Can I just rehearse here?
- Yes — book a Rehearsal and you get the whole studio with the full backline, no recording engineer, at our lowest hourly rate.
