Recording
4 drum kits, 20 amps, 30 guitars, a Hammond, Rhodes, Wurlitzer and a Grand Piano: whatever you wanna realize for your production, Fascination Street got you covered. Work with Jens Bogren or Alexander Backlund to craft something that goes beyond what’s possible for a modern “bedroom” producer.
With our 5 bedrooms and up to 7 beds, a full band will stay comfortable here, even for longer durations.
Or maybe you just need help with re-amping, or editing?
Let us help you plan your production and find the best way forward!
Mixing
Without a great mix, there will be no great sound.
Take advantage of our long experience across many genres within metal to find your own sound, helping you stand out in the crowded scene that is modern metal music.
Led by Jens Bogren, we offer mixing in stereo and Dolby Atmos by several in-house engineers at different price points, all with the same goal: to give you that crystal clear, organic and damn expensive sounding record you’ve been longing for.
After-hours program available!
MAstering
The final frontier. A good mix will come a live with a really great master, helping it translate the best way possible across all types of playback systems.
The mastering room at Fascination Street Studios is designed by Jens Eklund of Holonor Acoustics, and is considered one of the best in the world.
Using a selection of analogue and digital tools, we master for all formats including Streaming, Apple Digital Master, Vinyl, CD and Cassette. We can also offer Dolby Atmos up-mixing from a stereo source.
