We specialise in music recording and TV and film voiceover work, as well as podcasts. We regularly work with clients such as the BBC, ITV and 20th Century Fox.
The Studio
We have a great sounding, spacious control room with beautiful views and natural light.
The live room has oak floors, three separation booths and a vocal booth so a band can track together in one take. Acoustically controllable with baffles and features an Indian sandstone wall.
Outboard includes two 1960s BBC valve preamps, an SSL G-series buss compressor and a SuperAnalogue channel strip. The mic locker runs from a Neumann U87 Ai to a pair of Coles 4038 ribbons.
Backline includes a Hammond A100 with Leslie, a Rhodes 73, a '79 Stratocaster an Ampeg SVT plus 8x10 cab. plus loads more.
All of this is included with the room, at no extra cost.
We are only a few minutes away from Oxford train station and less than an hour from London.

THE HEART OF THE STUDIO
Built around a desk that shaped British music
Trident 80B
Designed by Malcolm Toft, known as the Godfather of British EQ, whose Trident consoles shaped the sound of music from Bowie onward. The 80B's EQ is warm, sweet and very musical. The Mic pre’s have always said to be very open sounding. They are!
