Hapé Sound is a recording studio near Loughrea town in East Galway, Ireland. It is about 40 minutes from Galway City and around two 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 setup.
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.
