Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

Soundborn is both a professional recording studio with a sound engineer and a flexible self-service rental studio. You can conveniently book our rooms online. Professional recording sessions with technical support can be requested by email or through our request form.
After your booking, you'll receive an access code that lets you open the red entrance door at Klesheimgasse 2.
Soundborn consists of four areas: the bar area with the legendary Hörbar, the studio with its control room and voice room, the drum room, and the spacious live room. The voice room can also be booked independently of the control room. Which rooms are available to you depends on your booking.
From the control room, the voice room, drum room, and live room can all be recorded across 16 tracks. Basic audio engineering knowledge is required for self-directed recording sessions. On your first visit, we'll be happy to give you a short introduction to the studio.

Can I just come by during opeing hours?

No, you need a confirmed booking with an access code to enter and use Soundborn.

What equipment does the live room have?

Our live room is equipped for a wide range of uses and is ideal for rehearsals, recordings, jam sessions, workshops, and presentations. The standard setup includes a mixer with PA speakers, with a sound system and two vocal microphones connected by default. In addition, there are two guitar amps, a bass amp, a 5-piece drum set with cymbals, an entertainer keyboard, and a high-quality Yamaha C3 grand piano. Several music stands and lecterns are available, as well as a projector with retractable screen – ideal for workshops or lectures. For private events, we provide up to 20 chairs and 8 tables. When recording in combination with the control room, you also have access to 10 XLR microphone inputs.

Is there a drum set set up in the drum room?

Yes! There is a fully assembled drum set in the drum room that you can use for practice or – in combination with the control room – also for recording. If you'd prefer to bring your own drum kit, please let us know briefly before booking (office@soundborn.at) so we have enough time to take ours down.
