Peter Maher has one of the best speced home studios in Ireland. He’s running a Protools HD3 system with Waves plugins, Apogee Ad/Da converters, Neve, Avalon and Manley for the analogue elements plus Neumann Akg and sE mics. All this is monitored through Genelecs .
We treated his converted double garage with Auralex.Pretty impressive I think you’ll agree.
On the day of this photo Peter’s trying the Manley Vari Mu Compressor and the New Neve 8816 Summing mixer, both of which he’s now using!
Peter started off on a Digi 001 system 2 years ago and felt, while he was getting good results he wanted to get the sound better. There’s only one way to do that…. Good gear! |

Steven Milne’s day job is touring the world with Daniel O’Donnell as his keyboard player.
While not on tour he’s also an in demand Record Producer and Orchestra arranger. Steve recently came to Audio Warehouse for our help in upgrading his studio without breaking the bank. As you’ll see from the photo his converted Garage Studio is acoustically treated and we’ve hooked him up with some nice front end so he’s making better recordings in a better room. Surely a goal for all serious home recordists?
Of particular note in Steve’s studio is, behind the point this photo was taken, is a well stocked bar! |

Joe Egan has accomplished a lot for a man of his age. Only in his twenties, Joe has been in a successful Recording/Touring band, Studied Recording Technology and now owns what is rapidly turning into one of the best studios in Ireland.
Based in Clara in the midlands Joe has big spacious, luxurious rooms that sound and look great.
The space advantage is maximized to make a studio that’s great for band recording. You’ll notice lots of Neve preamps and the new Rupert Neve Portico too. A modern studio but, if need be - an ‘analogue’ style sound. |

Damhan Nagle is one of the busiest guitar teacher/musician/studio owners in Dublin. We started working with him a while ago and he now has a facility most guys will envy.
His converted attic space is now acoustically controlled to make a very comfortable studio. Even though it’s less than huge, because of the treatment and a wise choice of gear, he’s making great recordings including live drums.
Check out his MySpace page to listen to his work. <<HERE>> |

Willie Dunne has a great setup in the Midlands. He has a studio in a local community arts centre.
As a keyboard player he does a lot of Midi and production work for musicals while still having the capability to make finished masters, while also doing a lot of session keyboard work.
Recently he’s been working with Michael Flatley.
We’re currently working with Willie on his new project, a purpose built studio that will expand his client base to include full ensemble recording. |

Wav Mastering - Limerick. Richard Dowling’s returning to his native Limerick this year is a significant positive addition to the Irish Recording Scene. His 16 years of Mastering experience at the highest level in the UK will allow Irish artists access to a local highly experienced mastering engineer with the highest quality equipment. Richard’s had heaps of Top 5 hits and everyone making recordings here in Ireland should let him work his magic. Check out his MySpace page <<HERE>>

Colaiste Dhulaigh in Coolock is one of the longest established Multi-Media courses in Ireland whose students have gone on to employment in every part of the industry. In 2006 we upgraded their system to Pro-Tools HD with a Yamaha O2r desk. We also treated their rooms Acoustically with Auralex. We think it’s a very cool system that allows them to make great recordings with industry standard equipment.
Have a look at colaistedhulaigh.ie for more info. |

We recently installed 5 Studios for the Council for the Blind. They make Tapes and CDs of Newspapers, Magazines and books for the Blind community plus other Vocal based work.
They’ve had a bespoke acoustic refit in their new premises. Their recording rooms were built offsite, shipped to Finglas and fitted complete with Air Con and cable ducts etc.
Here you’ll see John from Audio Warehouse going through the Soundcraft Ghost with Con from the Council for the Blind. |

James Blennerhassett is one of the busiest session bass players in Ireland with credits from The Rolling Stones, The Chieftains to his current gig, playing the low notes for Mary Black. James has recently set up a new studio in the wilds of Roscommon that's a bit different to most. James' setup is all in one room. So vocals, drums ,bass, guitars etc.
often go down live together often without the artists wearing headphones. This creates a much different vibe than your standard studio with the interaction of the musicians being emphasized. As James plays on most sessions it makes the engineering and playing easier for him. James will soon be expanding his studio installing a 5.1 system to allow him to work with film. |

Dave Slevin and Barry Dempsey have a very cool Dublin 1 address and studio. Running Pro-Tools HD with Apogee I/O coupled with some esoteric desks and outboard makes for a studio that's full of personality. You'll notice the Auralex Acoustics too which does a great job of the control room. Dave's more the traditional recording engineer while Barry is more the Electronica Guru. Between them the have a lot of skill and experience. They don't just run the place as a Studio either, www.virtustudios.ie run a great school too. Check out www.myspace.com/virtustudios. Relaxing on the desk is Dave (we don't recommend this as a rule!) and on the right Gavin Glass who's just made an album with Dave. www.myspace.com/gavinglass |

Marcus McCarthy of the Music Watchtower in Clonakilty called last year to discuss a couple of recording issues he was having. We've sorted him out with some room treatment and added an Apogee Ad16x and a Neve 1073DPA to his gear.?
He's now got a great sounding system. Notice the Auralex treatment about his mixing area and even though his room isn't huge he's still managed to position his monitors away from the walls to get the best results possible. Check out? |
 Jealoustown Recording studio is a commercial facility near Dunshaughlin Co.Meath. Owned by multi instrumentalist/ Producer Stuart Gray it's one of the biggest in Ireland. Stuart built the whole place himself from scratch, which in itself is pretty impressive. Using Protools HD he has a great sounding very comfortable and stylish studio.
