STUDIO DEL BARRIO / GARAGELAND NYC

With editing facilities in Manhattan, our live room in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and mobile recording capabilities, we offer full service recording, featuring state-of-the-art digital, as well as vintage analog gear.

A short walk from the subway (L-train to Bedford Ave., the first stop from Manhattan), GARAGELAND is conveniently located in the new Northside Music Complex in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Our room is acoustically isolated. The interior is tricked out with vintage rock memorabilia, like your teenage band’s space in mom and dad’s garage or basement. It's a great vibe! The studio is equipped with a mini-fridge, is adjacent to a lounge, restrooms and has free high-speed wireless internet access.

We are equipped for, and specialize in, multi-track recording, remote recording of live performances, theatre design and voice-overs.

Our mission: We view the art of recording -- capturing a performance -- as a collaboration between the artist and studio. We’re committed to projects that excite and inspire us, and will provide the best work at the fairest price to help you achieve your goals.

Prior to booking, please make an appointment to visit the studio, present your project ideas, ask questions and get to know us!

Please inquire about our actor-friendly voice-over specials. We make house calls!
