Studio B

Image gallery and description – studio B

A powerful creative space

Studio B is a highly productive space located adjacent to the main SSL studio. The control room has ample space for a band to relax whilst the performer is hard at work. The recording room has been treated for pristine recording of vocals, solo instruments, percussion and amps with immediate line of sight to the engineer.

The gear in Studio B merges a powerful Pro Tools system (with an Avid Icon digital console, extensive plug-in and software instrument library) with a collection of classic analog hardware. The studio has been designed for ultimate efficiency of workflow with all the facilities in place allowing the focus to be on the music, unhampered by technological limitations.
