Rockhopper's a mobile self contained pro quality recording studio. And anyone can use it. It's fully equipped, air conditioned, has lots of instruments and amps and you can record, edit, mix and master in it.
Rockhopper Studios is based in a fully restored and equipped 1963 Airstream Overlander Caravan. We're neither a static recording studio nor a mobile facility - we're both.
The Airstream is roomy, comfortable and it's unique curved shape gives an incredible recorded sound. We can do pretty much everything conventional recording studios can do - certainly in terms of bands, singers and singer/songwrtiters.
- We can record a 4/5 piece band "live" inside the Rockhopper
- We can record acoustic drums and, because of the unique curved shape, generate a great drum sound using our studio kit or your own drum kit
- We have a big collection of guitars and amps and can create a vast array of guitar sounds
- There are ideal facilities for vocal recording and a great selection of vocal mics
- We can mixdown and master
- We can duplicate CD's
- There are cameras on board to record the session.
Check off the recording equipment and microphone collection against those found in any top flight studios. Names such as iZ Radar, Pro Tools HD, Neve, SSL, Lexicon, Apogee, Broadhurst Gardens, Audient, Neumann, AKG, Audix, DPA and Microtech Gefell mean you can be confident in the quality of Rockhopper's innards. And because they're encased in such a wonderfully unique shell, it means we get superior results.
Rockhopper was envisaged and created by enthusiasts to suit everybody: young or old, amateur or professional, serious or fun (or hopefully both!). Our tailored online questionnaire means we equip ourselves with as much information on your music as possible beforehand, to minimise time wastage and maximise music making.
Rockhopper is based at our headquarters in Buckingham, but also spends a fair amount of time on the road (and to be honest, is quite the head-turner). You can come to us, or we can come to you. How many other studios can offer that? So check out our itinerary and book your recording session at a venue near you. Either way, you'll be getting a great studio experience, enthusiastic staff, and a musical result to be proud of.
