We've been lucky enough to work with the very talented @tommyarchofficial and his band on a new track, working exclusively on analogue tape. The results are sounding fab! (Mostly down to the band's great playing!)
Looking forward to heading back in very soon to mix the track directly from the tape through the Trident console!
It was really fun getting the Fostex 1/2" tape machine back up and running for this one. It's something we'd love to do more of in the future, if anyone is interested give us a shout!
Keep your eyes and ears alert for this new @tommyarchofficial track when it's released!
We've had all 3 studio pianos tuned. 1st up was our Eavestaff Mini-Piano, perfect for that honkey tonk saloon sound! 2nd was the Challen Upright which gets used all the time, a lovely atmospheric souding piano. 3rd our Electric Kawaii EP705 for that dirty Rhodes vibe. And lastly a bonus (For in the house) my Yamaha CP70B, a vintage electric baby grand, with a classic sound!
Thanks so much to Lawrence Heppell for his work tuning these pianos, was a full on day!
Give us a shout if you need any piano on your recordings!!

The end of the build is in sight!! The control room is nearly finished - carpets are down, desk is in, racks are wired up... Just got to wrap up our acoustic panelling and that'll be it!
We've removed the old carpet in the live room and are beginning to clean up the original tiled floor. Then we'll give it the final coat of paint and some acoustic treatment!
Both rooms have just had A/C installed which is an absolute luxury!
Looking forward to our first session which is booked in for a couple of weeks time! Plenty of time to finish off!
