Teaplant Stúdió         

About

I am Gergő Mihály, the owner, sound engineer, producer of Teaplant studio, and also the singer-guitarist of the band Angertea. I became interested in music at a very young age, and in 1996 my friends and I founded Angertea, which has been going strong ever since. My band and I have been recording at various studios since the 90s, and we have worked with some of the greatest in music industry. During my musical career, I have worked with Grammy award-winning producer Neil Kernon, Scott Reeder – the legendary bassist of Kyuss, Billy Gould, the bassist of Faith No More, and Franz Stahl, the guitarist of Scream, who also played in Foo Fighters for a few years.

 

I started my studio in the late 2010s. At first, I just wanted to record my own band, but then I started getting requests from other bands, and I started to feel confident enough to work with them. I am a producer-oriented sound engineer, so if there is a need, I like to come up with ideas, add different spices to the songs, for example, background vocals to vocal tracks, etc. I don’t like artificial sounds and plastic things in music. My recordings are usually alive and unique in their own way. They sound modern and classic at the same time. They have one thing in common, whoever comes to me gets something of an international level. I am a full-time teacher, and this can come in very handy when recording, for example. Based on what was said about me, instead of the cold, tense, mechanical studio recording, the atmosphere is pleasant, family-like and friendly, and I get the most out of everyone.

The Studio

Teaplant studio is located in the annex of our family house in Derekegyháza, in the Southern Great Plain of Hungary. It consists of two rooms: a 16-square-meter control room and a 13-square-meter acoustically treated recording room. The recording room is also suitable for excellent drum recordings.

I work with a Mac-based system in Reaper. In addition to the most modern, most up-to-date plugins, I also have analog equipment such as Audient, Golden Age Project, Joemeek, Presonus preamps, and a Klark Teknik KT76 compressor. I can record 26 tracks at a time.

Microphones: AKG, Neumann, Audix, Shure, Lewitt, Sennheiser, Rode, Universal Audio, T Bone, Behringer,

Services, prices

  • recording/production work: 22 Euros/hour
  • mixing: 90 Euros/song
  • mastering: 40 Euros/song
  • mixing/mastering together: 110 Euros/song

These are the set prices, but if there are more songs or an entire album, I’ll give you a quantity discount. The final price obviously depends on the recording time, the number of instruments, and the instrumental preparation. If the recording takes a long time or I have to edit a lot afterwards, it will obviously cost more. Experience shows that a full band song, including recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, can cost from 200 to 400 Euros, depending on all of this, but if you come with just an acoustic guitar and vocals, it can be much less. Of course, I also do online mixing and mastering. So, if you have recorded tracks and you send them, I can mix/master them. But for this, we need to consult, preferably before the recording.
