The courtyard of Alive Studio — a castle with an old tree at its heart

Pardes Hana-Karkur · Private Studio

What we do

Make your record in a castle.

Audio Recording

Full-band live tracking or meticulous overdubs through a curated locker of preamps and microphones, in three acoustic spaces.

Mix & Master

Hybrid analog/digital mixing through Neve, API, SSL outboard, a tape machine and mastering-grade monitoring — finished loud, clear, and release-ready.

Pre-Production

A new standard for rehearsals — an inspiring writing process that nurtures creativity, where every corner of the rooms is instantly playable to capture your ideas.

Video Production

We shoot and edit your music clips, live performances and BTS reels — broadcast-quality, multi-cam, streamed live — in a space built to look as good as it sounds.

Here it happens

Castle spaces.

All Spaces

Inside the castle

Every corner plays.

A legendary amp in every corner, wired to a classic two-mic setup. An iconic drum kit with 16 microphones up, ready for action. Keyboards, synths and piano always on. And the best vocal mic in the world, always warm in the booth.

Are you ready?

The locker

Gear worth driving for.

32 preamps, 50 microphones, 35 pieces of outboard hardware — and counting. Neve, API, SSL, EMI, Pultec, Manley, Lexicon, Bricasti, AMS, UA, and more. Open the Playground to patch your own channels: pick the drums, pair every mic with a preamp and insert outboard, just like we do here at the studio — and plan your recording before you arrive.

Patched, warmed up, and waiting.

The instruments

A museum you can touch and play.

Guitars & Basses

A museum wall of vintage and modern guitars — Les Pauls, Strats, hollow-bodies and basses, like our 1955 Fender P-Bass, 1964 Gibson ES-330 or 1967 Martin D-18 — alongside 30 rare, well-loved historic guitars and basses, all set up and ready.

Drums & Percussion

An iconic DW kit, a Yamaha 9000 or a vintage Sonor — miked and wired — vintage snares, '80s Rototoms and a percussion corner that never ends.

Keys & Synths

Fender Rhodes 88 Mk I, Hammond, Juno-106, Moog One, pianos and a stack of synths — warmed up and in tune.

Amps & Pedals

Legendary amps in every corner — Fender, Laney, Mesa, Ampeg — each with two mics wired, plus three wired pedalboards and a pile of pedals to test and build your sound with.
