Music Recording & Production at SHStudios

 Baba Ali New Music Here at the Coolest Recording Studio in South London - we do a Lot of editing, mixing , & producing for bands locally & across the globe! It's been nearly 2 years since I mixed Baba Ali's breakout single " House " - that got him 6 weeks of radio rotation & half a million spotify plays! Now we've done it again - Black & Blue is out today on the Zen FC label - already getting airtime.     Baba has always had a fascination for classic funk & electronic music ( from Parliment Funkadelic to Grace Jones & All points in between) but his vocal melodies & lyrics come from the alt dance / rock scenes - and it works! What we end up with is a melting pot of musical forms that not only make you think - makes your body move too. So head over to your fave music platform ( Spotify - Amazon Music - Apple Music - Tidal - Deezer etc - or listen to it HERE ) & Put some Dance in your Pants!     Mixed, Made & Produced w...

  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. Big Badder Drum Recording JJ API Mic Pre We couldn't believe ...

So as per - we set up the drums the day before to save the band some time - & within an hour had Fin test recorded & sounding his phenomenal self!                   ...

  http://www.shrunkenheadstudios.com Microphone Pre's for vocals Here at The Coolest Recording Studio in London Town - we have approximately 120 different mic preamps - from super old (1940's) valve / tube pre's to modern day superfast broadcast models. Why? you might ask. Because we Freakin Care - that's why. All musicians need proper looking after, drummers need to know their kit sounds incredible from the thump of the kick to the splish of the hats. Bass players need to know their low end & presence are solid, complete & tucked in. Guitarists need to know their chops & dalliances are tracked to perfection & Classical combo's need to be sure their textures & tones have the richness & poignancy the piece deserves. Above all though - vocalists need special care & attention to detail to capture themselves within the moment - & as all singers have different timbres & voicings - to properly attend to that - you need d...

Here at The Coolest Recording Studio in London Town – we make some mighty fine rekkids – & for all types of people – we recently had Tugboat Captain in recording their new 6 track ep – january 2021 brought in a London/Dublin punk band “Sister Ray” …… on the up & up they is! Noisy too! Both these bands had one thing in common – they mix their audio themselves. Might seem a bit foolish not to employ an industry pro to do that for ya – but folks like to give stuff like mixing a try – see what they come up with – & sometimes – it’s good enough to release – so long as its’ mastered properly – & that’s where we come back in.  Mastering Music & Audio A lot of audio engineers try mastering - but it's one of those jobs you really need the right tools for - you find that out the hard way! Anyone can buy a good quality audio interface like This - but that's just the start - you need a treated environment - really good monitors - and good ears! Then you need som...
