Recording

Our recording studio features the usual two-room layout – the live room, where the music happens, and the control room, where the mixing and capturing happens. Whether you are a voiceover artist, a singer-songwriter, a five-piece band or anything in between, we have everything you need to capture your unique sound.
We also capture live performances in multi-track at venues throughout the South of England.
