Here at the Coolest Recording Studio in London Town - we work with All kinds of artists - from the up & coming to the Star in the ascendant - to the Star already born - and all sorts in between!
Oddly enough - we have four of the studios' brightest & most wonderful releasing their respective Opuses (Opi???) this coming month - & here they are ...... in no particular order.

Baba Ali

Baba came to the studio last september (2019) with a bunch of (pretty messy) audio that needed editing, organising, mixing & producing.
That we did - & in no time he had his first single released on Dangermouse's 30th Century Records - played All over the radio - yup .... put him on the map!

Roxy Rawson

Roxy came into the studio in August to mix some pre recorded audio - it didn't quite cut it, so instead we spent two weeks recording her classical ideas & mixing in Much Much Bass & some heavy glitch concepts ..... the result is one superb ramjam of classical, folk, electronica & gospel. Bit of a gamechanger - you won't have heard anything like it!

Songdog

Lyndon Morgans, Pod & Dave - collectively known as Songdog came into the studio in June & july 2019 to track & mix their lp. One of the Uk's finest underground songwriters, Lyndon wanted a different take on his music so came to us for our "out of the box" thinking and production techniques - & boy did we mix & produce a lovely sounding lp!
Nothing like any of their previous musical outings - this record (called 'A Happy Ending') features all manner of instrumentation from marching bands through classical strings through electronica inspired tuned reverbs to eerie gospel choirs of the dead.
You can see the first single video HERE.

King Krule

Archy has recorded a lot at Shrunkenheads Studios - it's an inspiring place & brings out the best in our musicians.
We recorded The Ooz for King Krule - audio for the book he did with his brother Jack - various other smaller projects - & now we have recorded the audio for the latest King Krule release Man Alive.
We also (very recently) recorded Archy strait to our 8 track tape machine with his acoustic guitar singing songs from both The Ooz & Man Alive lp's - we shall see what he does with that there audio in due course.
Here's a pic of Archy trying on my 70's glam boot :

Happy to be a part of all that ... yes we are.

Recording Drums 2 - Snares & Toms

Image
  Recording Drums, Percussion - & Dealing with People Who Like to Hit Things 2 Here at The Coolest Studio in London Town - we get all types knock knock knocking at the door - little tiny people - long gangly ones, threadbare gypsies & be-suited impresarios - &  the odd werewolf.  One thing they all have in common - they come to SHStudios to sound good - & this is how we go about that particular science.   Snare Drums  The snare ...... is a drummers' signature - on the record "Burnin' Beat" you can immediatley tell who's taking a solo, as Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich are two top-of-the-game boys, who are not only phenomenal players - but also have a unique sound. Most session guys have a collection of snares for differing timbres & shades - & pre thinking a recording - begins with snare selection, as it's the one sound that will hit the listeners ear consistently throughout the recording - & from the centre of the audio...

Recording Drums 4 - Compressing Room Mics !

  Recording Drums, Percussion - & Dealing with People Who Like to Hit Things 4  Here at The Coolest Recording Studio in London Town - we got All Kindsa flavours - old valve mic preamps for a rich & pretty tone to modern broadcast preamps that capture every whisper with clarity and definition - plus a whole plethora! of different mics - ribbons - dynamics - condensers & tube.  However - sometimes - especially when capturing drums & percussion - you need a little extra something to throw into the mix pot - & this is where compressing room mics comes in.  We use this setup to add a natural ambience to the recording - & a shedload of energy! If you don't know about compression - read about it HERE   - it is - along with eq - the most important audio shaping tool in any studio - you need to work with it ..... a lot - to understand it - we'll go into all that later - here's a pic of a regular averagely priced compressor:  For...

Mic Pre's - Putting Flavour In The Mix!

Image
Here at The Coolest Recording Space in London Town - we got all kinds of studio shazzle - mixers / compressors / eq's - but for audio capture, the most important thing aside for the mics - are mic preamplifiers. They come in all shapes & forms - from lovely vintage tube pre's that warm up the sound of an instrument or space to super fast solid state units that capture transient material (like metal drums or fast picked acoustic guitar) to transformer based pre's that you can distort at the input to add bloom & energy to an audio source. This is a Vortexion tube preamp as used by Joe Meek & the Who back in the 50's & 60's - beautiful for recording drums, guitars, vocals & ambient spaces with ribbon microphones. They were broadcast quality units that add a rich, fullness to the mic chain. You can also use them to pleasantly saturate vocals etc in post production. vortexion   These Ampex 602 units came out of an old tape recorder...
