Recording studio & equipment
My recording studio in Kingston, SW London, is a great flexible space.
The studio has custom-treated acoustic, can record multiple musicians / vocalists in isolation and houses high-end recording gear.
The recording studio is a comfortable, versatile recording space including live room and isolation booth, capable of multi-tracking up to a 5-piece band in a day. We pride ourselves on our high-spec equipment to ensure a top quality precision sound. You can see an up-to-date list of recording equipment below.
I can also provide a mobile recording set up for large groups in bigger venues and choir recordings.
