Welcome to The Helpful Studio

The Helpful Studio has been designed from the ground up for mastering, mixing and music production. We exist to help artists bring the vision of their music to life.

Mastering

At The Helpful Studio we’ve mastered music across the spectrum of musical styles, for artists both locally and internationally.

Mastering is the vital, final step in the production of a song. It prepares your music for distribution on all platforms, and for playback on any system.

The mastering process maximises the impact of your music by creating a greater sense of excitement, polish, and professionalism. It enhances all of the sonic qualities of the mix by bringing everything into tonal and dynamic balance.

If you’re planning on distributing your music on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc, then it’s especially important that your songs are mastered with the right loudness and dynamic range. We can help you make your music stand out no matter where people are listening to it.

State-of-the-art Acoustic Design

A clean, neutral, and pleasing ambience that is free of artefacts is essential for any studio. In fact, the room itself is arguably the most important component of any studio space, as it will have more of an impact on the sound at every stage of the music production process than any other piece of software, hardware, converter, speaker, etc - and perhaps more than all of them combined.

With this in mind our control and tracking room has been fitted with high quality, bespoke acoustic treatment. We have incorporated purpose-built broadband and bass trapping acoustic panels, as well as fractal ‘Arqen’ diffusers (designed by Tim Perry). All of this adds up to a natural, honest and even frequency response and decay.
