Band and Instrumental Recording
Capture the raw energy of your performance with professional multi-track recording at our Safdarjung Enclave studio, backed by nearly a century of musical heritage.
We love the energy of a full band recording. This is a glimpse into a session with the band Faridkot, showcasing our setup for capturing live drums and the full spectrum of instrumental music.

Capturing the perfect drum track is crucial for any band's sound. Here is another angle of a drum session, showing the artist in our acoustically designed recording room.

About Band & Instrumental Recording
Recording a live band is different from layering tracks in a bedroom setup. Our live room is designed to handle the natural volume and energy of a 5-piece drum kit and amplified instruments while maintaining clean separation, ensuring your band sounds like a cohesive unit rather than a collection of separate audio files.
When you bring your band to Katharas Studios, you aren't just renting time in a room. You are stepping into a legacy that spans back to 1924. We understand that instrumental music, especially with a full band, requires a delicate balance of technical precision and creative freedom.
The Setup
Our facility in Safdarjung Enclave is built for live collaboration. We provide:
- Acoustically Treated Live Room: Optimized for drum diffusion, allowing you to capture that powerful, room-filling sound without unwanted echoes.
- Multi-Track Capability: We handle simultaneous recording of up to 24 channels, meaning your drummer, bassist, and guitarist can play together and keep the groove locked in, exactly as you would on stage.
- Pro-Grade Gear: We rely on industry-standard microphone arrays, including Shure SM57s, Sennheiser MD421s, and AKG D112s, to capture the distinct character of each instrument.
Our Workflow
Whether you are a local band working on your debut EP or a group tracking a live single, we ensure the process is transparent. Our senior engineers handle the gain staging and mic placement, so you spend less time troubleshooting and more time playing. You get the raw, uncompressed WAV stems immediately after the session, giving you full control for external mixing or further production. If you need that final polish, our team also provides end-to-end mixing and mastering to get your tracks ready for streaming platforms.
