KOMODO have recorded several folk bands, understanding their different sounds and needs. Some require a simple ambiant recording, whereas others may want the sound that only multitrack recording can offer.

We can either conduct the recording session for your band in a selected room, or we can accompany you to a live gig to capture the atmosphere generated by a live band.


The recording studio itself has a relaxed atmosphere, where those recording can work hard while those not recording can sit in, or relax in front of the TV. Using Protools with a wide selection of microphones, tasty plug-ins, solid-state and valve outboard gear, we can get you the sound you need.


Mastering is the last process that a recording undergoes before duplication. KOMODO offers mastering as a separate service for anyone wanting the best sound out of an already mixed tape or CD, but we also include it in all of our own recordings. Once the mixes are complete, our mastering engineer ensures that the different songs work well side by side, and that the final CD plays back faithfully on as many systems as possible. This is achieved by an objective experienced professional using the latest in sound technology. The process can range from a simple job of level changes and subtle EQ to quite radical surgical procedures to bring lifeless muddy recordings up to their full potential.

You can either design your own, or we can help you put together graphics for your CD. KOMODO takes care of the whole process.

If you are designing your own graphics, please submit the element of the design (layers) seperately, as we often need to make small changes which cannot be made if the text is embedded in the background.

Please submit your graphic ideas in the following formats (preferably PC):
