THE RECORDING STUDIO
RECORD YOUR NEXT PROJECT AT BECKVIEW STUDIOS
GET TO KNOW THE SPACE
LIVE ROOM
Our large live room is spacious enough to accommodate a full band yet intimate enough for a solo artist or duet. It features custom sound treatment, natural light, air conditioning & ventilation, and sounds amazing!
Why not come and find out for yourself!
ISOLATION BOOTHS
Booth 1 - This is the largest of our isolation spaces. With sight-lines to both the control room and the live room, this space is often used by vocalists when tracking bands, or by voiceover artists.
Amp Room - Our amp room, located in the original safe and has tie lines to/from the other spaces. When tracking, it allows us to isolate the sound of the amps from the rest of the live room.
CONTROL ROOM
The centrepiece to the room is our vintage Sony MCI JH-600 console and custom sidecar, which boast an array or carefully curated preamps, processors, and effects (gear list below).
Built with acoustics in mind with non parallel surfaces and bespoke acoustic treatment, the primary monitoring system is handled by a pair of 3 way Genelec monitors, teamed up with the Trinnov to to create the perfect listening environment.
KITCHEN / GREEN ROOM
Break spaces in the building include a fully functioning kitchen with comfortable seating area, so you can relax and refuel during your recording sessions. The kitchen leads to a
private garden, where you can enjoy fresh air and inspiration.
Tie lines running throughout the building enables us to have the flexibility to record in a variety of spaces, including the kitchen. And a visual and audio feed which runs directly to the studio & control room, ensures you can stay connected to your engineers and bandmates, even while making a brew!
Ample off-street parking is available on site with direct load in to the studio at ground floor level, no steps.
