Hi I’m Jim
I’ve been recording, writing, mixing and mastering for quite a while at the Cabin. The studio may be intimate, but it has a lot of character and you can record a whole liveband in it.
At Cabin Down Below you’ll find a large variety of drums, keys, microphones, amps and a lot, I mean a lot of guitars. It's the perfect hybrid studio, offering the best of both worlds: some warm, rich analog gear and the precision and flexibility of digital recording. Designed to turn your ideas into music, fast and effortlessly.
Looking for a place to capture your sound? Send me a message and let’s talk about your project. Whether you’re after a quick demo or a full-blown production. — There’s plenty of coffee to fuel our creativity.

Recording with Jim is always smooth and relaxed. His experience as a musician and songwriter means he knows exactly what’s needed in the studio. Whether it’s lyrics or chords, you can always rely on him. He’s flexible: sometimes we develop ideas together, other times he fully supports my vision. He quickly finds the right sound and gives you a clear idea of the final result as you go. Because he’s into many different styles of music, you can bring almost any idea to him.

Cabin Down Below is such a relaxed place, and with Jim ( owner and chief engineer ) being a fantastic musician himself, the whole process is often more rewarding as Jim thinks with you

The Cabin Down Below doesn't feel like a studio, but seems more like a place where you're jamming with friends and a skillful engineer happens to record it all. Jim acts easy but works hard.
