The Studio
My personal studio is situated at my home in a quiet suburb of London. I have, therefore, access to it 24/7 and with effectively zero notice!
From here, I can connect with you via CleanFeed, Source Connect (3 & 4), Riverside or even Discord, and with video via Zoom, Teams, Skype or whatever your needs dictate.
As an ex-audio engineer, I’ve put a lot of effort into making it as quiet and reverb-free as possible.
Here’s a sample of the space, with no processing whatsoever, consisting of: Normal speech; whisper; shout; three claps; room tone.
