RECORDING
Whether you want to record a few vocal takes or complete a whole album we’ve got great studios to deliver exactly what you need. Both control rooms contain first rate mixing consoles, pre – amps, effects rack and we also have a great selection of instruments to suit your style.
The Live room has a great “ambient” sound because of its size, but can also be adapted with acoustic baffles to get that specific sound you’re looking for.
Along with our experienced engineers we also have a team of producers and session musicians on hand to really enhance your recordings and get that Pro sound. Please check out our Team page.
Recording sessions are £330 a day (10 hours) or £175 a half day (5 hours), based on 1-8 people between 10am to 10pm. We can also do an 8 hour day to if you prefer (£280). Additional charges will apply for larger groups, operating out of normal studio hours etc..
MIXING
It’s so important to get the mix right – so having good gear, accurate acoustics and a great set of ears is what you need to really make it happen. We can offer all of these… whether you’re just balancing stems or mixing down a monumental 80 track epic, we have the equipment, skills and know-how to cover all ends of the mixing spectrum.
Studio one contains an Amek Einstein 40 channel mixing console with Adam, Genelec and Avantone monitoring. All audio is processed through the UAD Apollo 16 interface and we also have a growing collection of classic analogue gear. So whether you want a pure analogue or digital path or a hybrid of both we can mix and match to suit your sound.
Studio two has a 26 channel vintage Tac Matchless analogue desk with Adam, Genelec and Avantone Speakers also. Again, you can mix across the board or stay completely in the box, the choice is yours.
If analogue is not what you’re looking for, we have a large selection of first rate plug-ins for an all “in the box” digital mix down.
MIXING (ON-LINE)
We also offer an on-line mixing service. We have a great team of experienced mix engineers who can deliver 1st rate mixes tailored to your sound and genre. All you have to do is upload your consolidated audio file/stems and we’ll take care of the rest!
Prices start at £250 a mix (Up to-32 Audio Tracks, 4min:30 secs in length). Turnaround is approx 14 days.
