Five-track EP featuring acoustic guitar and vocals, recorded in a single day. We positioned multiple microphones to capture the natural resonance of the instruments in our live room. Minimal processing was applied during mixing to maintain the intimate, organic quality of the performances.
Hip hop track with sampled beats and multiple vocal layers. The artist recorded vocals across 4 sessions, experimenting with different delivery styles. We provided beat production assistance and handled extensive vocal editing to achieve the tight, punchy sound required for the genre.
Numbers that reflect our commitment to quality recording services in London
Learn recording techniques, explore industry trends, and get practical advice from our engineers working with diverse artists across London.
Many artists invest in expensive microphones but overlook room acoustics. Our studio uses bass traps at corners and absorption panels at first reflection points. We tested various materials over 8 years and found that placement matters more than thickness. This approach reduced room resonance by 40% in our live room, allowing clearer vocal recordings without excessive post-processing.
Studio time costs between £30-80 per hour in London. Artists who rehearse thoroughly beforehand complete projects 30% faster in our experience. We recommend recording scratch demos at home, finalizing arrangements before arrival, and bringing spare strings or drumsticks. One band saved 4 hours of studio time simply by pre-selecting their guitar tones. This guide covers what to bring, how to structure your session, and which decisions to make beforehand.
We provide professional recording services with equipment and expertise that deliver results for musicians at any stage of their career.

Most musicians prefer their own instruments for comfort and familiarity. If you're travelling from outside London and need specific gear, let us know in advance. We can arrange rentals from local suppliers or adjust our backline to suit your needs.
We recommend booking at least two weeks ahead for weekday sessions and four weeks for weekend slots. Our calendar fills quickly during autumn and winter months when many artists work on new releases.
For urgent projects, check our availability by phone or email. We sometimes have cancellations or can extend our hours to accommodate tight deadlines. Block bookings for album projects should be arranged at least six weeks in advance to secure consecutive days if needed.
Yes, you're welcome to bring your producer, band members, or guests. Our control room comfortably seats four people, and the live room can accommodate full bands of six to eight musicians depending on setup requirements.
We ask that you inform us of total numbers when booking so we can prepare adequate seating and monitoring. For larger groups or sessions with multiple guests, we may need to adjust the setup time. Everyone present must follow our studio guidelines regarding food, drinks, and equipment handling.
Final mixes are delivered as 24-bit/48kHz WAV files, suitable for all distribution platforms. We also provide 16-bit/44.1kHz versions for CD production and 320kbps MP3 files for online sharing and demos.

A recording studio built on technical precision, acoustic expertise, and commitment to delivering clear, accurate sound for musicians and producers across London.
Tibequ opened in 2018 when three audio engineers decided to create a space focused on technical accuracy rather than trends. We started with one control room in Brixton, equipped with calibrated monitors and treated acoustics. The goal was straightforward: provide musicians with an environment where they could hear their work clearly and make informed decisions about their recordings.
Over six years, we expanded to three recording rooms and added equipment based on client needs. Our microphone collection grew from 12 to 47 units. We installed analog preamps alongside digital interfaces. Each addition came from requests by artists working here, not from marketing promises. Today, we handle 280 sessions annually, from solo vocalists to full bands, serving musicians who need reliable recording conditions.
We record, mix, and master audio across genres. Our engineers have worked in this field for 8 to 15 years, with backgrounds in live sound, post-production, and music production. They understand signal flow, frequency response, and dynamic range. Sessions here involve technical discussions about microphone placement, compression ratios, and EQ curves. We explain our choices and involve clients in the process.
Our rooms are acoustically treated using bass traps, diffusers, and absorbers positioned according to measurements taken with analysis software. We maintain our equipment through regular calibration and servicing. Cables are tested monthly. Converters are checked for accuracy. This maintenance schedule ensures consistent results across sessions. When you record vocals on Monday and return for guitar overdubs on Friday, the sonic character remains the same.
We use calibrated equipment, measured room acoustics, and documented workflows. Every session starts with gain staging and ends with reference checks on multiple monitoring systems.
Engineers explain technical concepts in plain language. We discuss options, demonstrate alternatives, and document settings so you understand what happens to your audio at each stage.
Our team knows the specifications, frequency responses, and optimal use cases for each piece of gear. We select tools based on the source material, not brand reputation or vintage appeal.
Through regular maintenance, documented procedures, and quality control checks, we deliver recordings that meet technical standards for streaming platforms and physical media distribution.
