Welcome to
Hidden in South Leeds, just 5 minutes from the city center, the M1 and M621, is our beautiful Audio and Media workspace.
Built around our Allen & Heath GRS24 and our 9m by 7m live room, tuned to perfection with a selection of Vicoustic treatment, Bakerland is the perfect place to get in the zone, get inspired, and create.
Whether you’re a solo artist or a choir, producing a music video , a photo shoot, product videos or audio books, anything in the audio and visual remit, we have created them all, and most importantly, we achieve our customers visions by sharing their passion and working every project together as one combined team.

Live @ Bakerland…
We like to do live audio and video @ Bakerkand, and we have the space to do it well, and believe the best recordings are those done live with passion and energy. We like to film concept music video’s as well and have projects booked in for next year. Check out our video’s to date to see some very special performances.
Product Video’s
We have provided many product videos for Audio Technica and continue to work with them. Rodrigo works at A.T (see his bio), when he’s not sorting audio for the Moto GP or the Olympics he’s making videos of products.
On Location
We offer location videos for those bands who have a specific look in mind, we find that once bands see our studio they tend to choose to come to us (without our influence). We look forward to taking our camera’s out and shooting on location, give us a shout if you have some ideas!
