Hapé Sound is a recording studio in East Galway, Ireland.
It’s about 40 minutes from Galway city and 2 hours from Dublin. 

The studio shines when it comes to acoustic instruments and natural sound.
It has a wonderful Yamaha grand piano, which I keep in mint condition , a Yamaha Recording Custom drum kit, a big selection of high quality microphones (Neumann U87 and others) and  much more. Check the Gear page for an equipment list.

Whether you want to record a full project, a part of it, or need help mixing your own recordings, I’m here to help. 

I record singer-songwriters, rock, doom metal, experimental music, ceremonies, and more. I also have a mobile unit.
See the Projects page and social media for examples of my work.

The studio is located in a beautiful tranquil rural area and there is a friendly award winning B&B nearby. Let me know if you intend to use it and it will be taken into an account when pricing your recording session.

Voice-over services are available in Irish, delivered by a fluent native speaker from the Aran Islands with whom I work closely

Feel free to contact me to discuss your project and see if we’re a good match.
You are welcome to arrange a visit at the studio without any obligation.

Cheers,

Shay

I ran Shay’s Studio from 2002 to –2012. It was then closed to the public, and in 2024 I launched the improved Hapé Sound.
