Recording studio · Amsterdam Jordaan
Record where the canal goes quiet
Vocals, bands, mixing, mastering and podcasts in three treated rooms. Fixed rates, one engineer per session and files you can use straight away.
What we focus on
Micracoriva has been a ground-floor studio in the Jordaan since 2019. We work with singers, bands, producers and podcast hosts who want a calm place to play, listen and decide — without an audience in the hallway.
Every enquiry starts with your goal: tempo, dynamics, references and schedule. Then we send a concrete proposal with hours, services and costs. What we agree is what we deliver, including clear rules on files, revisions and payment in our terms and conditions.
