Cat Burrito Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'm looking to record a new album this year but I'm struggling to find a decent studio that isn't geared more towards Emo / Indie acts. I want a studio engineer that isn't phased by double bass, banjo or mandolin & ideally with an understanding of Americana / Folk / Country music. We're based mainly across Berkshire but with a drummer in Dorset so our catchment area would be there but with West London being a consideration if it was a good studio. Also South Oxfordshire or North Hants are certainly areas we'd consider. Anyone? Google isn't giving much away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This page lists the studios/engineers they've used: [url="http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~zierke/folk/records/bellowhead.html"]http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~zier...bellowhead.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
