STUDIO

The studio is located in Hornsey, close to the rail station. It is sufficiently equipped for recording vocals, guitars, piano and keys, light percussion, and any other instruments apart from drums. See below for the full list of gear available in the studio. I also mix and master in this studio. For full band recording, including drums, I can arrange to engineer sessions in a suitable studio with you. I currently work evenings and weekends.
