Recording Studio Floor
We offer two adjacent isolated recording environments large enough to record a full band completely live if required whilst giving excellent acoustic separation. Musicians are invited to use our extensive selection of vintage and modern backline at the studio.
Main Room - 22' by 30'
A moderately dampened but relatively large room, suitable for recording vocals and virtually any instrumental work. Treated enough as to not sound too lively, but big enough to space ambient mics out to give a big roomy sound. Putting a mic in the hallway also works to add its unique reverb.
Drum Room - 22' by 15'
Ideal for that "Bonham" drum sound! A bright, live sounding room with a high ceiling, wooden floor and stone wall - suitable for recording drums, percussion, brass or any instruments requiring a natural, live ambience.
Excellent visual communication between both live and drum areas of the studio and the control room is a feature of Foel's construction, enabling musicians and producer to remain in visual contact whilst recording. Additional instrument and speaker tie-lines from the control room allow the other ancillary rooms of the building to be used as recording spaces providing extra versatility.
