recording STUDIOs
If you ask yourself “are there recording studios near me” here we are Located on an secluded island on the river Thames.
Radar Sounds music recording studio pride ourselves on being one of the last affordable studios in the UK to offer professional true analog tape recording facilities, also, we believe we are the ONLY studio where YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TAPE!.
be it recording analog and/or digital, mastering to voice over, we have the experience to provide you with a professional package at a great price.
CONTROL ROOM
We believe a recording studio should provide the client the opportunity to use world class high end recording gear that would only be attainable in the very best studios in the world. Over time we have invested in the type of gear that is revered in the recording world including ,a EMT 140 PLATE REVERB (stereo), 18 1073 Neve preamps and a STUDER A800 (ex Abbey rd) tape machine also a NEVE GENESYS G32 fully loaded with FULL analog automation among them! When it comes to digital we also have the best of the best (IZ RADAR) all connected via MOGAMI cabling ensuring that whatever audio is recorded at our studios , its as good as it gets! A complete vintage/modern microphone selection and a wide range of vintage outboard audio equipment ensures that Radar Sounds has everything you need for an outstanding recording experience.
Live Room
The adjoining acoustic room and large booth is set up to accommodate up to 14 musicians to record LIVE and boasts a neutral acoustic with a vintage aesthetic. This means that our drum kit (or yours) can be set up to provide the best possible sound and allow for fully live takes (or overdubbed) for that authentic “its like i’m in the room” recording. Headphone mixers for full control of the incoming live mix for each person and the option to go straight to 2″ tape included, we believe no studio can rival what we offer at at our price in the UK at Radar Sounds.
Large Booth
The adjoining large booth can comfortably accommodate a full drum kit (for that super dry sound) and is perfect for any situation including guitar/bass/voiceover work or interview/podcast recording (inc Green screen if needed). Fully set up to accommodate up to 5/6 people and boasts a dry acoustic sound. The booth has a view of the live/control rooms and has headphone mixers for full control of the incoming live mix.
