Sustain Your Flow
Airless bunkers just isolate artists & vibes behind foam & glass
We do studios differently – great sound AND musicians first
So just relax…. & make music
Top mix & mastering engineers now mostly prefer plugin emulations to hardware for audio quality & repeatabliity
We have about 1500 plugins – the biggest & baddest industry standard VSTs, AUs etc
That’s how we’ve been making Billboard Hot 100 chart topping music since 1997

Longest Established Recording Studio in Nottingham?
We think it’s the longest running recording studio in Nottingham outside the educational sector. Right above the indie buzz of Canning Circus Nottingham NG1. With acoustics that simply let you record accurately – and hear it like others listen to it. Not a mid-mud vocal mic ‘isolator’ shield in sight either. Directors Robin & Simon base our top gear choices on hard evidence & experience, not YouTube myths or manufacturer hype. So you can just concentrate on your art, not the science 🙂
The Best Of Studio Vocal & Drum Production
Check our award winning vocal mics that win shootout contests. It’s your voice that counts. Trust your ears, not the mic price tags. We also have the best drum packages – as heard on many of the biggest band tracks – and proper drum mics with the rare ability to track & mix drums properly
High-End Mastering for all platforms
Ethos
We don’t do demos. It’s a mindset – every track is the real deal. We’re all about figuring out what you want and how best to get it recorded and released, using our awesome kit and vast experience
Book A Session
Click the connect icon below right, select a call/ msg app and let’s discuss any project large or small. We’ll get the right one of our team on your tracking, production, mixing or mastering.
