Dry-Hire
Studio Forty Two Dry-Hire
Our ‘Studio B’ room is available for dry-hire for those who want to self-produce or bring in their own engineer. Unlike other dry-hire studios, one of our producers will be just in the next room to make sure you have everything you need and that you are set-up correctly and comfortably. All you have to do is bring your laptop/computer – we’ll provide the rest!
In the case that you might need some help or you’d like access to another piece of equipment to help you to capture the perfect sound, we have installed an ‘assistance button’ to call one of our producers into your session.
Studio Forty Two Music have specifically set up our Studio B to cater to vocalists, voice actors and ADR work. With our sound isolation booth offering an extra reduction of 54.75dB, you will have peace and quiet with no distractions to focus on the task in hand. We pair this with our UA Mic Preamps which can offer anything from a vintage warm analog sound to a clean transparent modern sound which will ensure you capture the recording that is right for your project. You will also be equipped with the Universal Audio Console which offers a range of plugins for your vocal chain without affecting your computer’s internal CPU and you’ll also have access to outboard effects meaning you have a range of options to get more colour into your recording.
We also cater to your schedule; if you need a late-night voice-over session or some last minute lead vocal recording, just reach out to us via email or phone and we’ll set up your session.
We use both Universal Audio and alternative interfaces to ensure compatibility with all laptops and computers.

I highly recommend this recording studio, Thanks again Cathel! ❤️Posted on Google amanda fascia Girls had an amazing time, Cathal so patient and kind. Definitely recommend, great studioPosted on Google Danny Gilbert Cathal is a lovely guy and a fantastic producer, he had some brilliant ideas and made sure to take time and get everything spot on!Posted on Google Andrew Armstrong From the very start of the session, Cathal was warm, kind and friendly and made me feel comfortable within the studio environment. The studio itself had a very chill vibe and was also well set up for recording. To say that Cathal knew what he was doing would be a massive understatement. It was obvious from the start of recording that he is a true master of his craft and a talented musician. He was patient and happy to give tips/advice when asked, and put considerable effort into detail in ensuring that my track could sound as good as possible. After the initial recording of the track, Barry was thorough and professional in how he mixed and mastered it, always paying close attention to detail and ensuring new mixes were sent over to me ontime. I would 110% recommend Studio Forty Two to anyone looking to record their music.Posted on Google Jacob Khalil Stepping into this studio is a musically enriching experience. As a piano player I specifically loved the beautifully restored vintage upright piano. Truly one of a kind with a special touch and tone. The producer/owner Cathal is one of the most musical people I’ve ever worked with. His ability to access and understand different sonic worlds is so inspiring. I look forward to going back and working on more music very soon.
