Fantastic sounding studio, the Neve console and outboard gear really gave my mixes and masters a fantastic rich sound. Piers is a skilled engineer with sharp ear and a warm and welcoming personality which made the whole experience both productive and enjoyable! Will certainly be getting more of my work mixed and mastered here!
