Hedayat Music: a recording studio in Paris 11 designed to help projects move forward
Two complementary spaces in Oberkampf, a multidisciplinary team and a pathway that can run from vocal tracking to the final master.
Hedayat Music: what should you remember?
Hedayat Music combines two studio set-ups, an included engineer, and a pathway that can run from tracking to the final master. First priority: Choose Studio A or Studio B depending on working comfort. Next: Confirm the rate, duration and post-production in the quote.
At 97 Rue Oberkampf, in the 11th arrondissement, Hedayat Music welcomes artists in two studios designed for complementary uses. Founded in 2011, the studio says it brings together 26 experts and has supported more than 3,000 artists over fifteen years.
This profile is based on information provided directly by Hedayat Music and verified for this publication on 21 September 2026. It sets out what distinguishes the spaces, the services available, and the questions to ask before booking.
What to know before booking
Two working experiences
Studio A prioritises space and visual contact with the control room; Studio B offers a more intimate and isolated setup.
Engineer included
The advertised starting prices — €80 incl. VAT and €69 incl. VAT per hour — include the sound engineer.
A production chain
Recording, vocal editing, mixing, mastering and bespoke instrumentals can all be handled in the same place.
Educational support
One-to-one singing and DAW lessons round out the offer for artists who want to become more self-sufficient.
Hedayat Music’s appeal is not about a standalone technical spec sheet. It lies in the ability to choose a suitable setup, then extend the session into post-production when the project requires it.
A studio based in Oberkampf since 2011
Hedayat Music has grown in an accessible neighbourhood closely associated with Parisian musical life. Fifteen years after its creation, the studio reports having supported more than 3,000 artists and having a team of 26 experts. These figures reflect a capacity to accommodate and a breadth of skills; they do not guarantee the outcome of a session, which always depends on the project, preparation and collaboration with the team.
The studio also benefits from a reported rating of 4.8/5 from over 277 Google reviews at the time of checking. Before making any decision, it remains useful to read recent reviews, looking for situations similar to yours: vocal recording, mixing, lessons or full production.
Studio A: space, Brauner VM1 and visual interaction
Studio A is the larger of the two spaces. It is equipped with a Brauner VM1, a Mac Studio and a Universal Audio Apollo X. The booth is visually connected to the control room: the artist and the engineer can maintain direct contact during the take.
This setup can be relevant when the performance requires quick exchanges, placement guidance or close collaboration. The stated starting rate is €80 incl. VAT per hour, sound engineer included.
Studio B: Neumann U87 and focus
Studio B adopts a more intimate setup. It pairs a Neumann U87 with a Universal Audio Apollo 8. Its booth, separate from the control room, limits visual distractions and encourages fuller concentration.
Hedayat presents it in particular as an option suited to vocal takes and toplines. The stated starting rate is €69 incl. VAT per hour, engineer included.
| Criterion | Studio A | Studio B |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere | More spacious, visual connection with the control room | More intimate, separate booth |
| Main microphone stated | Brauner VM1 | Neumann U87 |
| Interface stated | Universal Audio Apollo X | Universal Audio Apollo 8 |
| Stated starting rate | €80 incl. VAT / hour | €69 incl. VAT / hour |
| Sound engineer | Included | Included |
Services that go beyond simple sound capture
Hedayat Music offers recording, mixing, mastering and vocal editing. The studio can also create a bespoke instrumental. This scope makes it possible to build a coherent chain, but it must be defined precisely in the quote: who is involved, number of revisions, delivered formats and timeline.
Recording
Preparation and capture of vocals in the chosen space with the sound engineer.
Vocal editing
Selection, cleaning and adjustment of takes, in line with the interpretation.
Mixing & mastering
Organisation of the spectrum, dynamics and final level according to the intended medium.
Bespoke instrumental
Development of a production tailored to the track’s identity and specifications.
Singing and DAW/MAO lessons: preparing the artist, not just the file
The studio also offers one-to-one singing lessons and computer-assisted music lessons. This is useful when a session reveals a longer-term need: better managing performance, understanding your software, preparing your exports or becoming more self-sufficient ahead of the next sessions.
However, a lesson and a studio service do not have the same objective. Before booking, specify whether you are looking to learn, to produce a deliverable, or to combine the two within a separate pathway.
Which space should you choose for your project?
- Choose Studio A if visual interaction with the engineer and a larger space improve your comfort.
- Choose Studio B if you are looking for a focused vocal session in a separate booth.
- Ask the studio for advice when several people are taking part or when the session includes production and editing.
- Always confirm the minimum duration, deliverables and any post-production fees.
How to prepare a session at Hedayat Music
Preparation starts before you arrive on Rue Oberkampf. Finalise the lyrics and structure, export the instrumental in the requested format and bring a backup copy. If you want editing, mixing or mastering, ask for the precise list of required files.
Also define a priority outcome. “Record the track” can mean capturing several takes, leaving with an edited vocal, or obtaining a fully finished title. The clearer the expected result, the better the team can propose the right space and a realistic timeframe.
Indicate the project format, the number of participants, the expected duration, the state of the instrumental, the service expected after recording and your release date. Add up to two sound references.
From recording to visibility
The studio handles the creation and the finishing of the track. Promotion answers a different question: how to present this title, to which audience, with what timeline and through which channels? It is best to keep these two decisions separate while anticipating them early enough.
Once the master and visuals are available, consult our guide on music promotion or present your project to the Beathoven team to build a plan consistent with the release.
