Cat Burrito Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I'm looking to record a new album this year but I'm struggling to find a decent studio that isn't geared more towards Emo / Indie acts. I want a studio engineer that isn't phased by double bass, banjo or mandolin & ideally with an understanding of Americana / Folk / Country music. We're based mainly across Berkshire but with a drummer in Dorset so our catchment area would be there but with West London being a consideration if it was a good studio. Also South Oxfordshire or North Hants are certainly areas we'd consider. Anyone? Google isn't giving much away Quote

This page lists the studios/engineers they've used: [url="http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~zierke/folk/records/bellowhead.html"]http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~zier...bellowhead.html[/url] Quote
99ster Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 What about [url="http://www.woodwormmusic.com/"]Woodworm[/url] (Dave Pegg's old studio)? Quote
