Recommended Studios in the South East

[lateralus462]

Hi,

My band's looking to record a couple of our new tracks at some point soon. We have used a few local studio's before but have never been completely happy with the sound (you can check the old recordings out at [url="http://www.myspace.com/withinourrights"]http://www.myspace.com/withinourrights[/url])

Basically we're prepared to spend a bit more money than we have in the past on the right studio/engineer to get some really decent recordings of the new material (which kicks ass by the way) and I was wondering whether anyone had any suggestion or recommendations.

Cheers

Chris

You might want to look at [url="http://www.earthterminal.co.uk/"]Earth Terminal [/url]near Farnham. It's in an oast house in the middle of the countryside but near Jct 5 of the M3 (Odiham). Some famous songs have been recorded there. Only ever rehearsed there but it had a nice feeling about the place.

I've been there once to have a look for recording purposes, lovely space, but the sound is dictated by the live room.

I like Plug'n'Play in Reading www.plugnplay.tv

On the subject of Earth Terminal, a mate of mine recorded there recently and spoke highly of the place. They did a staggering 13 tracks over two days!

From a more personal perspective, we rehearse (and record) at Sounds Good in Lambourn Woodlands - it's a couple of miles off the Hungerford/Wantage turnoff of the M4 - I'm in Crowthorne - so a little west of Reading and it's just under 40 miles from me.

They have four rooms; three live rooms and a control room. All digital. Engineer Andy Rowland is a top bloke and knows his gear inside out (which always helps ) Link:[url="http://www.soundsgoodstudios.co.uk/"]Sounds Good[/url]

Highly recommended!

Yep, they've undergone a bit of a restructure/rebranding/renaming. I've rehearsed and recorded in enough places and this place is clean, tidy, acoustics are very good. Andy's results are great as well.

If you're coming down this neck o' the woods, [url="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=341410850"]Studio 91[/url] has a phenominal young soundguy who's just starting out. Very good prices and I've never heard a bad mix from him.

Probably not the kinda experienced, seasoned pro you're after but it's another option!
