Welcome to my world!
My private music studio is available exclusively to clients, and offers many benefits;
- Acoustically treated to professional standard.
- Top quality monitoring, microphones, recording and audio editing equipment.
- Two acoustically isolated live rooms with wooden floors.
- Acoustically isolated amp / vocal room.
- Ventilation compliant with recent commercial standards.
- Beautiful quiet location with a relaxed and professional atmosphere.
- Flexible opening hours.
This ensures your music will be recorded, mixed and mastered to the highest quality and sound great everywhere, from hi-fi to headphones, car stereo to smartphone, radio, television & cinema. A very low ambient sound level ensures professional recording of quiet sounds such as audio books and voiceovers.
Designed to comfortably record up to six musicians at the same time, my music studio is located near Falkirk town centre, just off the M9 and M80 motorways, and has private car parking. Train stations on the Central Scotland Mainline are within easy walking distance.
Studio fees are included in my production rates allowing me to offer a competitive fixed price for your project.
Artists recording music recently include Norman Lamont and The Heaven Sent, Derek Sivers (producer & book publisher), Andy Alston (composer & pianist), Malcolm J Wells (composer), Konrad Wiszniewski (sax), Simon Wright (songwriter), Possil Mor (Celtic rock / pop), Stuart Brown & Leo Forde (jazz), Liz Jones & Broken Windows (blues rock), Ronald Simone (swing), Sheila K Cameron, Mary Gristwood (folk / trad) and Gary N Kemp (jazz).
Studio Layout
Why is the control area in Live Room 1?
Many people I’ve worked with prefer it this way! Having the engineer, producer & musician(s) together in Live Room 1 avoids having to “talk through glass”, making communication easier and speeding up recording. Everyone feels involved. The traditional setup of producer & engineer in one room and musician(s) in the other can easily be arranged if you prefer.
Here are a few examples of some layouts from past sessions. It’s by no means exhaustive – if you’d prefer to record your music another way, I’m all ears – please contact me to discuss.
Live Room 1 Engineer
Live Room 2 Singer
I engineer many sessions this way. Whether overdubbing parts to previously recorded music or new solo pieces. I’m happy to serve purely in an engineering capacity, and offer production advice if requested.
Live Room 1 Fiddle, producer & engineer
Live Room 2 Tea, coffee, refreshments
This happens a lot too. Having the producer and engineer in the same room as the musician really speeds up communication.
Live Room 1 Guitar, drums & engineer
Live Room 2 Tea, coffee, refreshments
Two musicians and an engineer. Stu Brown & Leo Forde recorded their live improvised music this way. I monitored their performance live with headphones.
Live Room 1 Sax, trumpet, guitar, bass/engineer, drums, composer
Live Room 2 Tea, coffee, refreshments
An entire band recording live in one room, no headphones required. A little bleed between instrument mics mean little room for mistakes. Gary N Kemp recorded his album this way.
Live Room 1 Songwriter, engineer
Live Room 2 Tea, coffee, refreshments
Attended mix or mastering session.
Live Room 1 Drums, bass, keys, engineer
Live Room 2 Percussion, electric guitar
Amp Room Bass guitar amp
The majority of Wendy by Liz Jones & Broken Windows recorded live as a band. Guide vocals sung in the hall. We got excellent acoustic isolation for all instruments so they could be altered later if required.
