Offbeat Recording Studio | Music, Audiobook, Podcasts, ADR & Voice-Over Specialists in Edinburgh

I had a wonderful time recording the audiobook of my novel with Offbeat Studio. Ian, Zara and Kirsty put me at my ease and created a friendly, comfortable environment. The honey, lemon and ginger tea was incredible! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a similar service.

What impressed me most about Offbeat was how welcoming and helpful they were from the very beginning. I came in as a complete novice to audiobook production and they guided me through every stage with kindness and clarity. They helped me understand the process, find the narrator and shape the sound of the book without ever making me feel inexperienced. They’re efficient, approachable, and genuinely care about helping authors bring their books to life.

I used Offbeat Studio to record my audiobook and the process was smooth and effortless from my side. The team went out of their way to get some of the trickier local pronunciations in the book right and ensure I have an audiobook I can be proud of.

We had the best experience with Offbeat Recording studio. The whole process was seamless - from booking the recording session, prop set-up, all the way through to tech support. Would highly recommend

We had a great experience bringing our class of Danish upper secondary students to a recording session at Offbeat Recording Studio in march 2026. The students sang and thus recorded the song "Loch Lomond" and we were all very happy with the recording. I can highly recommend to book Offbeat Recording Studio especially if you are travelling with a group of students (aged 17-20) who, as our students did, study music in upper secondary school. They kept singing the song throughout our stay (5 days) in Edinburgh/Scotland. We really enjoyed ourselves and Iain and Kirsty were such welcoming people!

I had such a brilliant experience recording my audiobook with Ofbeat Recording Studio. From the start, I was guided through the entire process and felt completely supported, especially with shaping the delivery so it sounded its best. Iain and Olivia were fantastic to work with - knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in getting a great result. The final recordings are incredibly professional, and I was so impressed with how quickly everything was edited and turned around. The studio itself is in a very central Edinburgh location, which made it really easy to access. I’d highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to record an audiobook or any professional audio.

Excellent service and quality

Iain and the team were a delight to work with. So professional and made our voice over actors (none professionals) feel at ease. Would work with them again without hesitation.

I have recorded three audiobooks (and counting) at Iain and Kirsty's lovely studio! Iain is so professional while being warm and friendly -- he really knows his stuff, and it makes recording seamless. Kirsty keeps the tea and honey flowing for my vocal cords and is so kind. It is always a day I look forward to when I get to record at Offbeat! My go-to for audiobook recording in Edinburgh.

What a great experience working with Iain and Kirsty at Offbeat. The professionalism of the process and the quality of the product were amazing. I was very happy with the rhythm, pace, tone and clarity of the audiobook Offbeat produced for us. In addition to this, we were made to feel very relaxed and taken care of throughout the day, and any correspondence with them was smooth and really friendly. Iain is an expert at what he does and gave us some really helpful suggestions for structural and stylistic elements of creating the book, which included music accompaniments, and getting the book perfectly formatted and ready for distribution. I will hopefully work with them in the near future and would highly recommend them.
