Claviforge

About the studio

A compact recording studio on the waterfront in Amsterdam Noord, in use since 2019 for vocals, bands, mixes and podcasts.

Why record here

Claviforge is built around one large live room and two booths so you can separate vocals and instruments without leaving the building. The control room looks into the live room; engineers do not rotate weekly.

We are not a label or a streaming platform: we deliver recordings, mixes and masters, plus a rehearsal room with PA and drum kit. Rates and terms are public on services; legal pages under legal notice.

The rooms

Live room, 42 m²

Band layout, podcast table or acoustic set. PA on stands, floor suited to drums.

Two iso booths

Lead vocals, backing and dry instruments; up to 6 people across live room and booths.

Control room

32 channels on the desk, nearfield monitors and a mic locker with about 18 microphones.

Workflow and aftercare

Every enquiry gets a written quote. Mix and master include 2 revision rounds within scope, as on mixing and mastering. We keep working files for 24 months, then delete unless you ask in writing to extend.

Questions on data or rights: privacy policy and FAQ. Book via contact.

Getting here

Danzigerkade 78, 1013 AP Amsterdam. From Amsterdam Centraal, take metro line 52 (North/South) towards Noord and get off at Noorderpark. Walk about 8 minutes west along Danzigerkade; the studio is at number 78 on the waterfront. By bike from Centraal it is roughly 15 minutes via the IJ Tunnel. Opening hours: Tuesday–Friday 10:00–20:00, Saturday 11:00–18:00. Closed Sunday and Monday.

Call on arrival if the door is closed; we expect you at the agreed time. Parking nearby is limited — bike or public transport is often faster.
