THE RECORDING ROOMS
At Natural Records, we offer four distinct recording spaces to suit a variety of needs:
Studio A: Our large main hall, perfect for capturing the full energy of live band performances, orchestral recordings, or any project that benefits from a spacious, acoustically-tuned environment.
Studio B: A more intimate space ideal for voice-over, isolated vocal and instrument tracking and amp recording, offering a focused setting for precise sound capture.
Control Room: We have a separate, isolated control room for mixing, editing, and mastering, fully equipped to handle the recording and post-production process with professional precision.
Reverb Chamber: Underneath our control room you can find a spacious basement that we use as a reverb room, here we can create natural reverbs and echo’s. Capturing the signal and mixing it with the dry signal gives your tracks a vintage and natural feel.
Live stage: We regularly organize concerts and performances, bringing our beautiful main hall to life. As a recording artist, you can invite your fans and produce a true live album in front of a live audience.
Additionally, we provide a guesthouse where bands can stay overnight, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted creative experience.

QUOTES FROM RECORDING ARTISTS
“If you want an old school honest one room recording session, Natural Records is the place to be in the Netherlands. Relaxed environment, great equipment and a great sounding room. Most of all working with Bo is just a pleasure. Going back and forward on ideas was really helpful and fun, I learned a lot. He really encourages your excitement when recording but will still retain critical ears when necessary. We really made some long hours in the studio together by now, no complaints from both ends.”
Harm van Essen, La Ratte, Blues Kings (NL)
“(…) all of these tracks sound great, and the stuff that you mixed more modern, blends right in with the stuff that you mixed more classic, it’s really sounding fantastic! Also, I’m very happy with the Harp tone, a lot of guys fuck that up, and you kept it sounding good. Congratulations on this record man!”
Greg Izor (USA)
“While recording my single, I forgot about time, which says that I was very comfortable and able to work in a relaxed setting.”
Hilde Vos Band (NL)
“(…) a modern juke joint, state of the art recording studio and creative space in The Netherlands and let me say. 
it is a spectacular space!!! So much heart, soul, blues knowledge, blood, sweat and tears went into this dream, and it shows! You can feel it in the atmosphere.”
JJ Thames (USA) and Luca Giordano Band (It)
“During the recording of our live album, Bo’s studio felt like home. The warm ambience of the studio that turned into a real concert for 1 afternoon made us forget we were recording. A unique experience for the audience too!.”
The History of Country Duets Band (NL)
