DoMinanta is built above all for live recording. If you have a band that plays live – drums, bass, guitar, keys, vocals – this is the place for you. The musicians all play together, and we record the song to separate tracks – up to 16 at once.
How we record a five-piece band
- The drums go in the Live Zone, by the stone wall. It gives the drums a full sound and the drummer a great atmosphere.
- The guitar and bass amps face the sound-absorbing walls, so less sound “bleeds” into the other instruments’ microphones.
- The vocalist stands in an acoustically dead corner, facing the other musicians. The microphone points into the sound-absorbing corner.
- Everyone plays at the same time, so the feel of the song is preserved, while each instrument is recorded to its own track.

Per trackThe live room
The studio was built to a design by the renowned British acoustic designer Philip Newell. The live room is about 33 m². The walls are not parallel, and low-frequency waves are “absorbed” by them instead of reflecting back into the room – so the room has no resonances.
The Live Zone also suits other acoustic projects: drums and percussion, acoustic guitars, strings, saxophones and flutes.
Live Zone
Drums and percussion are recorded in a dedicated area of the studio, the Live Zone – next to a stone wall built specifically for this purpose. The studio is best suited to bands that play live: drums, bass, guitar, keys, vocals.
Dead Zone
Vocals are recorded in the most isolated area of the studio, where there are no reflections from the walls – so the recording sounds natural and clean. Acoustic and wind instruments are recorded here too.
