Nestled between the hills and lakes of rural County Longford, Transmission
Rooms provides a truly captivating creative environment, free from
disturbance or distraction, where performers can relax and record at an
idyllic pace, but within 2km of village life and amenities. Housed in an 18th century extended barn, Transmission Rooms operates both
modern digital Protools (mac) and 24 Track analogue
recording formats. The
1200sq live space and 350sq control room provide the space and freedom to
perform and record creatively, the 40sq booth for isolation or vocal
overdubs in comfort. Our large microphone collection, both modern and vintage, contains AKG,
Neumann, Shure, EHX, SE Electronics, EV, Audio Technica etc. and includes

MXR, Yamaha, Roland etc provide hands on processing for the captured sounds,
whilst plug ins by Waves, SSL, Universal Audio, Focusrite etc are there for
