We're a professional audio recording studio, located in the center of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Founded by three musicians & gear heads, we've been recording and producing bands at ARC with our amazing team of engineers & producers for over 10 years.
We offer full audio recording, mixing, mastering and re-amping services and work with artists from all over the world, from big to small, from Jazz to Punk - which sometimes even results in a combination of both (Benjamin Herman's Bughouse for example).
The studio has a huge selection of unique and vintage microphones, amps and synths available for all your sessions.
At the heart of our studio we have a unique 32 channel Polygram (Philips) mixing console from 1972. The console was originally constructed by Philips because they felt that the top consoles at the time weren’t good enough for their prestigious Polygram studios and therefore decided to build their own. In doing so they set a standard which, in our opinion, has never been matched since.
The desk can be completely disassembled and put in flight-cases and because of that fact it has literally toured the world to recorded artists like Genesis.
We've worked with artists like The Kills, Joe Bonamassa, Kevin Gates, Benjamin Herman, Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, Madball, Taking Back Sunday and Ploegendienst.
