Last weekend, we welcomed local band into the studio for the first time. What fun we had!
Been working on mixes for the band all this week. The tune absolutely rocks, so I hope I’ve done it justice.
Hope to see you guys back recording soon!

Had an amazing couple of days in the Studio. Got commissioned to write a late 90’s inspired trance anthem.
The nostalgia of thumping, roaring 136bpm trance takes me alllllll the way back to the heady days of 1999-2003 - peak years of my dj’ing days. Lumping record cases up flight after flight of stairs at various clubs around Scotland - a good calorie burner 🥴
Broke out the big boys for this one. Oberheim OBXa, Yamaha CS80, Roland Jupiter 4, Roland Jupiter 8, Roland JD800 (I needed a clangy bell tone), and there’s at least 4 TR 909’s running.
And if could take care of a JP-8000 sometime soon, that would be kinda wicked.

A big session today in the studio - all those masterclasses are paying dividends.
The keys to achieving a massive drum sound:
CLA Epic
Abbey Road RS56 passive EQ
SSL G channel
Abbey Road Saturator
CLA Drums
and a handful of other tricks 😉

Studio faves Violet sons have been getting a bit of a national blow up with all the Oasis reunion buzz - their latest single, “Second Sun” is out today.
It’s nothing short of a monster! Maxed out rock and roll with a hint of psychedelia.

Absolutely wild that my main man and Definitely Oasis frontman Magoo ended up on GB News discussing the imminent Oasis reunion, and even getting a mention for our good friends Violet Sons. Well in mate ✌🏻🎸

It’s only been out a couple of weeks, but the debut EP from , titled “Country As…” refreshes the parts that other country artists just can’t reach.
The songwriting, a strong point since their first single two years ago, is absolutely next level, and features jaw-dropping slide/lap steel guitar from American session pro John LeMaster.
It’s a joy to work with this power pair, and I’ll be helping them prepare for their inevitable transition to them playing live shows in the not too distant future.
You can buy a physical copy of “Country As…” here:
Killer plugins include:
Scheps Omni channel
Manny M vocal
API EQ
ARP Solina
Arturia Augmented Strings
And a whole heap of others.

If anyone knows a lap steel player, please get in touch. I need a little country twang for a band that uses the studio regularly. Doesn’t need to be local if the player has a set up to record remotely. 🙏🏻

After two years of covid-induced limbo, I am thrilled to announce that I have given up the day job in order to run Werra Foxma on a full time basis.
The objective has not changed. We aim to provide professional recording facilities to the bands, vocalists, and singer-songwriters of West Lothian and beyond.
If you, or anyone you know, is looking to record some tunes professionally recorded, please consider Werra Foxma. We would love to hear from you! I am here to make a living, and not a fortune. Our emphasis on fairness, friendliness and collaboration is at the core of my values.
Thank you to every single musician that have used the studio, past and present. We have came a long way from recording in a garden shed just a few years ago! Your support and kindness have given me the confidence in myself to make this leap of faith.
To enquire about booking some time in the studio, email [email protected] or send me a private message.
Here's to following your dreams!
Frazer ✌️
After what feels like an eternity, we are beyond buzzing to open the doors to Werra Foxma Studio from 18 May.
While social distancing guidelines will be enforced throughout, there will be absolutely no drop in quality or work ethic.
Get in touch to book your sessions. We suggest booking early to avoid disappointment.
See you soon! 🦊🧡
Werra Foxma Studio began in 2015, purely so that we had a workspace to record our own music and projects for our music-minded friends. Work was completed in 2016 and we moved all our instruments and equipment in there.
In 2017, we quietly opened the studio open to the public on a less than part-time basis. We gave free sessions away to friends and got a few artists on board, which helped gain experience, and we slowly gained confidence and upgraded my equipment as we went.
Everything changed in the summer of 2018, as the diary incredibly started filling up. By September of 2018, we were forced to close the diary as we were fully booked out. This was the period that made me wonder if we could the studio a full time thing.
2019 showed no signs of stopping. Artists returned to record their next projects. New artists recorded for the first time. EP's had turned to albums. Artists as far away as Australia wanted to work with us which we couldn't get our head around! Full bands also wanted to record here also, but the studio was designed for solo artists and singer/songwriters. It looked like there could possibly be a full-time future ahead...
In the Spring in 2019, we decided that we were going to expand Werra Foxma. In July of 2019, the old studio building was removed and in it’s place, we constructed a new and improved space. The new studio is 6 times the size of the old one, and with it comes the ability to record full bands, multi-person projects, live sessions, birthday parties, you name it. The new studio will be open to all from October 28th.
To mark the occasion, we are going to record an album with some of our favourite artists that we have worked with since we started out, and make the album available to download and purchase from www.werrafoxma.co.uk :)
