01 · About the studio

The hum.

Aster & Co is one small room on Corte San Fernando, lined in wool and quiet enough to hear a pencil roll off a desk. We make podcasts and audio sound like the person speaking is sitting just across from you.

02How the room began
A hushed recording room with wool panels, a rug and a single condenser microphone

Built around a sound most people never notice.

Every room has a voice of its own: the low breath of a refrigerator two walls away, the faint ring of a bare window, the soft sigh of air through a vent. Most studios fight that sound. We started Aster & Co by listening to it, because the only edits that vanish are the ones laid over the room they came from.

So the studio is small on purpose. A heavy door that closes with a thud, wool and rockwool behind fabric, a rug that eats footsteps, a window you can hear the afternoon through but only just. Four chairs, four microphones, one engineer who stays in the room until the last take.

The work is project-based. You bring a show, a season, a stack of audiobook chapters or a sixty-second ad read; we quote it in writing, record or receive it, shape it, and send one invoice when the final files are sitting in your folder.

03Studio habits

Small rituals behind every episode.

  1. Thirty seconds of nothing

    Before anyone speaks, the room is recorded on its own. That clip becomes the quiet we lay under every cut, so edits close like a seam in good cloth.

  2. Breaths stay, just softer

    A breath is part of how a person sounds. We ease it down rather than scrub it out, so a host never sounds like a machine reading a script.

  3. Three speakers to check

    Every master is played back on earbuds, a kitchen speaker and a car dashboard. If a line disappears on any of them, we go back in.

  4. Quote first, invoice last

    A fixed price arrives in writing within one working day, before tape rolls. The one invoice follows the final files, never ahead of them.
