Just got back from spending a month in the UK, writing for Extreme Music Library. My contact at Extreme, Dan, bought the Park Studios last year and is running it as library music production house, with monthly residencies of sorts. The studio’s main live room has a high angled ceiling so drums sound huge. They also have a bunch of fun hardware and instruments and insist on doing stuff out of the box whenever possible. I had a great time, but being forced to try and mix in unfamiliar rooms with unfamiliar monitors was a real wake up call.
Now I’m back at the vegetable stand, I have some work to do before I can open up the studio for the summer. I’m keen to dispense with last year’s ‘bring your own air conditioning’ policy.
