CONTROL ROOM

The Main Studio consists of a spacious and homely, acoustically treaded (and Sonorwarks tweaked) control room, live room and two isolation booths which act as an amp room and vocal booth. Mixing the latest state of the art technology with some staple analogue peices gives bands the best and most comfortable recording experience. There is a vast range of instruments and equipment to deal with any sound and vibe thrown at it. Many bands compliment on how homely and creative the studio feels, which makes the perfect environment for you to create your best work.

LIVE ROOM

 

 

 

The live room is great to get a big, punchy and clear drum sound. It is also a fantastic home for our upright piano which is always complimented on its character sound.  

 

 

 

ISOLATION BOOTHS

 

There are two isolation booths in the studio. The first isolation booth is primarily used for recording guitar cabinets and combo amps. It's a very dry sounding room with very little reverb. The second booth is primarily used for vocals and quieter instruments, it's reverb time is even smaller which makes it great for capturing intimate performances.

STUDIO B

STUDIO B

 

Studio B sessions are run by Mark's assistant engineer - Ewan Simpson. Sessions here are tracked with Ewan and then edited, mixed and mastered by Mark. Studio B has the same homely aesthetic, and mirrors the same scaled down version of the main studio (although equipment from the main studio can be brought across). Whether it's tracking a full band, or working on vocal arrangements, bands love working in Studio B for its intimate and cosy environment.
