Travel Tips:
We’re here to make your travel experience as seamless as possible. Feel free to contact us for any assistance!
We’ve got a fully stocked studio with high-end gear, including an SSL Origin 32-channel console, Neve 1073 preamps, ATC SCM45A Pro monitors, and a JL Audio Fathom sub. We also have a selection of microphones, instruments, and outboard gear. That said, if you have a favorite guitar, synth, or any personal gear that’s essential to your sound, feel free to bring it!
Yes! You can either connect to our speakers via an aux cable for simple playback or fully integrate into our console and preamps using the Apogee Control 2 software, which connects to our Apogee Symphony MkII interface. This allows you to take full advantage of our high-end signal chain while working from your own setup.
The 1-week package includes 30 hours of studio time, while the 2-week package includes 60 hours. This covers recording, mixing, and production time with our in-house engineer. Need extra hours? No problem—additional studio time can be added.
Our studio is designed to handle a wide range of genres, from singer-songwriter and acoustic sessions to full band recordings, hip-hop, electronic production, and live instrument tracking. With top-tier gear and an experienced engineer, we can bring any sound to life.
Costa Rica has amazing weather year-round, but the best time for recording and exploring is December through August, when it’s mostly sunny with occasional tropical showers. The rainy season (September–November) brings lush greenery and fewer crowds, making for a peaceful, creative retreat.
Yes! Our in-house engineer is included in your package and can assist with recording, mixing, and technical setup. If you need a full producer to help with songwriting, arrangements, or creative direction, let us know, and we can arrange a custom package.
