ABOUT

Right Hook Recordings was established in 2022 by local musician, Joel Stoker.

RIGHT HOOK’S STORY

My initial reason for creating the studio came from my personal experience of writing and recording my own music.

Most of my music was written and recorded at home, which was fine for certain things, but I found it always fell down without the recording of live drums, which it was impractical to do at home due to noise levels, the number and quality of microphones needed and the acoustic quality of the room.

At Right Hook, we have a professionally treated drum room with a Yamaha Recording Custom drum kit and the highest quality microphones set up and ready to record. The live room is also fully equipped for full band sessions, with industry standard microphones, several valve amplifiers, an upright 1960s piano and various percussion instruments.

From my experience, tracking the drums to a guide track and overdubbing the rest of the instruments is the most successful method of achieving a high-end professional recording.

I feel that I have created a perfect place to write and record a “finished” (if there is such a thing) version of my music all under one roof and I look forward to working with and helping other artists in their quest for the Holy Grail.
