Record with the mix in sight
Lead vocals, live band, stem mixes or a podcast episode: Nitentxara offers fixed hourly rates, personal headphone mixes and an engineer who guides you from setup to delivery.
How we run a session
We work with artists, bands, producers and spoken-audio makers. First we clarify what you want to capture, how much time is realistic and which room fits: booth, live room or control room only for mix or master.
Then we send a written quote with date and price. After you accept and pay the deposit, your slot is confirmed. You receive raw takes or mixes in a format you can archive; we keep sessions for 12 months on our servers.
- 3rooms: live room, booth and control
- 36 m²live room for up to 5 musicians

Guides
Practical notes on preparing your voice, rehearsing as a band, delivering stems and loudness for mastering.
Getting your voice ready before a vocal sessionStrong takes start days before you stand at the mic. This guide is for singers, rappers and spoken-word artists booking vocal and rap recording with us; it matches our dry booth of about 7 m² and what your engineer needs in advance.
Getting your band ready before a live recording sessionLive recording is teamwork: everyone plays at once while the engineer balances levels and spill. This guide fits live band recording in our live room of about 36 m², with sight lines to control and space for up to 5 musicians together.
Delivering stems and sessions for mixingWhether you tracked at home or with us, mixing starts with tidy files. This guide matches mixing — from €185 per track with 2 revision rounds — and lists what our Amsterdam engineers expect before touching faders.
