About us
A compact recording studio in Amsterdam West, built for live takes, isolated vocals and critical listening at the desk.
Why Namdazivo exists
Namdazivo opened in 2019 to offer a city-close room that stays calm enough for delicate takes. We combine live tracking with post-production under one roof so you are not hopping between addresses for mix and master.
Our approach is hands-on: the engineer who writes your quote also sets microphones and delivers files. Rates live on Services; practical tips in our guides.
The rooms
Live room — 45 m²
Main space for drums, guitars and ensembles up to 6 people. Gobos and separate spaces for amps and overdubs.
Vocal booth — 12 m²
Isolated booth for singing, rap and voice-over with pop filter and tailored monitoring.
Control room
Hybrid desk, nearfield monitors and a second listening chain. Sight lines into the live room through the window.
Gear and monitoring
About 24 microphones are ready — condensers for vocals to dynamics for drums and amps. We share 8 headphones for separate cue mixes.
We talk in gear categories rather than brand lists: the choice depends on your voice, instrument and target tone. Mix and master run at 24-bit with controlled loudness; see mixing and mastering.
Location and access
