Recording studio · Oostelijke Eilanden, Amsterdam
Record in a warehouse by the water
Bands, singers, voice actors and podcasters record at Comptelogicza in three acoustically treated rooms. An engineer works alongside you from the first soundcheck to the final master, at rates you know before you book.
A studio built for focused work
We have been recording on Czaar Peterstraat since 2019, within walking distance of Amsterdam Centraal. Everything runs by appointment, so your session never gets squeezed by someone else's. The room and the engineer are yours for the full booked time.
Every project starts with a conversation: what you want people to hear, which references you like and how much time you have. You then get a concrete proposal at a fixed price. Not sure whether hourly booking or a full day works out better? We will do the sums with you.

From our guides
Practical advice on preparing a session, delivering tracks, budgeting for voice-over and loudness when mastering.
Preparing a recording session so studio time goes to musicStudio time is the most expensive part of any recording. Whatever you sort out in the rehearsal room is time you will not spend figuring it out in the live room. This guide walks through the preparation step by step.Read more 
Building a realistic budget for a voice-over recordingA voice-over is more than an hour in a booth. Studio time, editing, the voice itself and the rights to use it are separate items. Separating them before you start keeps the invoice free of surprises.Read more 
Delivering tracks for mixing: how to export them properlyA mix does not start with the first EQ move, it starts with the files that arrive. Well-exported tracks save hours of sorting and let the mixing engineer work on the music instead of on file admin.Read more
