about our
studio rentals

Our most popular service by far offers the rental of one of our three world-class recording studios by the hour. In addition to your room rental, a highly experienced professional audio engineer or assistant engineer is included for the duration of your rental. Our engineers know these rooms like the back of their hands and can make workflow efficient allowing creatives to do what they do best, create.

The most unique recording studio experience in Miami. A safe and comfortable environment for all musicians to create 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

At Bay Eight, we can take your song through all the creative technical stages and turn it into a polished gem. From recording, editing, arranging, vocal tuning, producing, mixing, and mastering. Bay Eight is your one-stop-shop for radio quality music

All three of our rooms are fully loaded with the same plugins, standard industry preamps, and microphones allowing ease of use. This “Plug and Play” ecosystem is great for artists who want to work in different rooms but don’t want to lose important data when swapping rooms. In short, you won’t be subject to missing plugins, software glitches due to different versions of programs, or an overall loss of quality. Studio rentals can also include the use of rooms for mixing and mastering.
