We finished producing Songdogs new lp - recorded mixed & mastered a coupla ep's for new up&coming bands - produced Baba Ali's new dual track single out on Yard Acts Zen Fc label Feb 18th - & now we're digitizing all our fabulous hardware - turning it into super high quality impulse responses (IR'S) - which you can drop into any convolution player software - et voila - you'll have a piece of the studio right there in your session! 

 Impulse Response

 All our IR's have been created from a music mixing & production perspective - we havn't done what all other developers do & copy a piece of hardware & hope it sounds right - we mix music for a living - & we're at the top of our game mixing for clients worldwide - what we develop - we use.
All our IR's will beautify and clarify your music - the line channels will bring your tracks alive, the mic channels add transformer saturation & a 3d quality, the limiters will settle your mixes into beautiful cohesion & the mixbus settings will add gentle analog saturation to sit your audio just right.

 Alice 828 IR's

 Our Alice 828 mixer is an original from the 70's - we used it extensively on Ghostpoets "Shedding Skin" lp - King Krules "The Ooz" & "Man Alive" lp's - & most other sessions. Cause it's Ace. All you need is a convolution player - plenty of free ones out there but we like Melda MConvolutionMB, Kilohearts Convolver & Fog Convolver.

Recording Sweet & Beautiful Vocals 1 - The Ribbon Mic Trick

Here at The Coolest Recording Space in London Town - we get a whole bunch of vocalisers - from full on rock gospel belters to sofly spoken folkists - & they all generally need one thing - attention to detail. There's not One go to mic for any session - but you can betcha life that the Shure SM7 is a good place to start for most sessions - to test the waters so to speak. It's got a good full range - and just sounds excellent - especially if you've got someone who doesn't have great recording technique - like your live singers etc. We always double it up with either a condenser or tube microphone to add either variety of tone or airiness - looks a bit like this. The sm7 is sung into from about 5-6 inches away - the tube or condenser mic is set further away to pick up more air. Another great trick is to set up either an omni condenser or ribbon microphone & face the side to the singer - this means the voice will hit the side of the mic body & e

  Recording studio london Big Bad Guitar Here at the coolest recording studio in London Town we produce all kinds of music & audio for all manner of clients. One thing they all need is quality sounds - for which we need some specific tools - names - good mics - & really good, top drawer mic preamps. We did have 96 different preamps & channel strips - but then we saw This little Doozer floating around the interweb: Phoenix Audio Neve mic Pre The DRS-Q4 is a masterpiece of audio engineering - looks like a Neve but has a much clearer more modern vibe - so delicious on drum overheads, guitars & vocals. The saturation this thing provides can make a vocal sit right in the mix from the get go. Amazing. It also makes guitars sound freakin Huge - especially running the audio through the eq - like stepping on gas for Sonics! Everything gets leaner, brighter & meaner.
