Recording

It’s all about the planning!  Get in touch and let us work with you to create something magical. Knowing where to put the microphones is just the start! The magic comes from creating a relaxed and stress free environment, whether recording in a studio or on location, such as in a church.  We do a lot of work at a fabulous nearby studio – Ayriel Studios – where you will find one of the finest Steinway pianos anywhere.  We are very experienced in producing, but would also be happy to work with your own producer if you have one.

“We spent three days in Oxford with Paul as our engineer, and also doubling as our producer on the first day.  He was so friendly, very organised and had everything ready to go when we arrived.  As a quartet we were naturally feeling anxious about how the next few days would go, after all the preparation and costly planning.  Paul could not have put us more at ease “humouring” all our neuroses about every little detail, whilst also keeping us on track and offering reassurance that we had achieved what we were after.  He kept detailed notes himself, but also adapted quickly to working well with our producer, who arrived the following day.

The subsequent mixing work, whilst time-consuming for him, was carried out with an equal sense of calm and attentiveness to all our comments.  We had definitely formed a bond, which meant he was just as keen as us to get the end result just right.  Paul clearly has a love for music of all kinds and a respect for the musicians he works with.  Many thanks for doing such a great job, Paul!”  Marici Saxes
