About us

A compact ground-floor recording studio on Goudsbloemstraat — three treated rooms and three resident engineers.

Empty control room with view of booth and live room after a session.

Built for playing together

Micracoriva opened in 2019 because many projects sound better when musicians share a room. Up to 6 can play at once, each with a personal headphone mix and a clear view of the control room.

We are not a label or a remote post house: recording, mixing and mastering happen here or in close coordination with your home setup. Sending stems only? See mixing and deliver stems for mix.

The rooms

Live room — 36 m²

Wooden floor, diffusers and absorbers, drum riser and space for backline amps. Suited to band sessions and small ensembles.

Booth — 7 m²

Isolated booth for vocals, rap, voice-over and spoken word, with sight lines to the engineer.

Control room — 21 m²

Symmetrical monitoring, analogue console and digital workflow up to 96 kHz. Two speaker pairs for mix and master checks.

Gear in brief

Inputs
16 mic preamps, patchable routing between live room and booth.
Recording
24-bit workflow; 96 kHz by default unless your project needs otherwise.
Monitoring
Separate headphone mixes in live room and booth; the engineer listens on main and nearfield monitors.

We do not publish brand laundry lists: mic choice depends on voice, instrument and song. For vocal prep, see prepare your vocal session.
