Since 1976 when these rooms were first used for recording the studio has witnessed the recording of many classic albums by some of the music world’s biggest names. U2, Thin Lizzy, Bob Dylan, Bryan Adams, Massive Attack, The Cure and Placebo are among them. - Space Westland is one of Dublin’s largest recording studios, consisting of a 90 m2 main studio area and 2 comfortably sized booths, all separated by sliding glass doors. This allows for live tracking of large groups with drums, amps and vocals all in separate rooms if required while still allowing for eye contact. Of course the other rooms, staircases and corridors in the building also get used, resulting in a wide range of acoustic spaces available for recording. - The sound of the SSL The combination of its preamps, Eq's and Dynamics on every channel (as well as the buss compressor) gives it a sonic character that home set-ups simply lack. - Baldwin grand piano and Hammond organ (with leslie) Modern synths and sample-based piano presets on keyboards can sound ok until you hear the real thing. If your recording needs that vintage warmth that only analogue tape can impart, we have it here at Westland, both for recording to (24 track, 2” OTARI MTR100) and for mixing to (2 track, ¼” STUDER A820) - Monitoring We have NS10’s, an auratone, PMC’s and Spendor nearfields but our huge customised soffit-mounted ATC’s really give you a different perspective on your tracking and mixing that small speakers can’t. - Secure Parking We have 2 free and secure parking spaces right beside the studio. (fits 3 cars during working hours and 12 or so in evenings and at weekends) - Customer Care Alwyn will go the extra mile to ensure you are happy to recommend Westland Studios. John O'Kelly (assistant/engineer) is tactful, knowledgeable, keen to help and easy to get along with. To meet us just get in touch.
