About The Studio

Swan Studios is a small project recording studio in Mallow, Co. Cork. The house engineer has 20 years experience. The studio is suitable for singer/songwriters and small combos. We can accommodate an electronic drumkit, but not an acoustic kit.

The studio can track up to 10 instruments at a time (up to 18 by prior arrangement). Clients are welcome to use out Fender Stratocaster, Variax Modelling guitar, 88-note master keyboard, selection of outboard and guitar stomp boxes, basses and electronic drum kit. The studio has access to a wide range of software effects and instruments, including NI Komplate, IK Multimedia Total Max, large selection of Waves plugins and much more.

The house engineer can create drum, bass, electric/acoustic guitar and keyboard backing tracks to a certain level. Alternatively, we can source session players if you need something more elaborate.

Rates are 25 euros per hour, or 160 euros per 8 hour day paid in advance, at least 3 days before the session date. The session is not booked until full payment is made. For longer sessions (album projects), we can arrange stage payments, but each stage of the recording must be paid for in advance. Payment can be made in cash or via PayPal. Clients may smoke outside. Due to the limited size of the studio, only recording musicians are allowed on premises.
