Engineer on duty · Marit
ROOMTONE is a working studio on Foundry Bank: a live floor with a 4.6 m ceiling, a tight vocal booth, and a control room where the mix is finished, not started.
Every rate below includes an engineer, the room, and setup time. Nothing is billed while we are fixing a cable.
Come in with a rehearsed song and leave with a tracked one. Good for vocals, guitar overdubs, voice-over and podcast pairs.
The room is yours from load-in to load-out. We set up the drum kit the evening before, so the first take happens within the first hour.
We take your session files, rebuild the routing, and hand back a mix plus instrumental, a-cappella and stem versions.
Level, tone and top-end polish, delivered at two targets so the single and the album version sit at the same loudness.
The small room with a kit, two combos and a four-channel vocal rig. Book it the week before a session and the session gets shorter.
This is the control-room instrument, laid out the way it sits on the desk. Press a key and it sounds; turn a knob and the tone moves. Nothing plays until you touch it.
The synth above is the only instrument we can put inside a web page. The rest of the locker lives in the live room and is included in every booked hour.
The building was a foundry store, so the walls are thick and the ceiling is high. We kept the shell and treated the inside.
The big room. A full band fits with sightlines intact, and the far end still gives a natural tail worth recording.
Small, quiet, and close-mic’d. Two people fit if one of them is holding a lyric sheet. Line of sight to the desk.
Where the mix is finished. Symmetrical layout, one listening position, and a second smaller pair for the reality check.
The cheap room, and the one that saves the most money. Run the set here twice and the session upstairs halves.
The studio runs around the clock in blocks. Drag the handle through the day to see what the building is doing at any hour, then pick the block that fits your band.
Eight-hour shifts on the live floor with the kit already up. Booked as a full day; two bands per week take the whole block.
Short bookings in the booth while the building is quiet. Two hours is usually enough for a lead and a double.
One band, one hour, played straight to air from the control room. Free to watch from the corridor; three seats, first come.
The day we stack guitars and print roughs. Hourly bookings, and the room holds its settings between them.
The small room runs back-to-back at the hourly rate. Bring nothing but sticks, cables and a set list.
No tracking, no visitors, no doors opening. Attended mixes can be booked by the hour on request.
Every booked hour comes with an engineer. You will know which one before you arrive, and it will be the same one at the mix.
Opened the room nine years ago after a decade of location recording. Fast with drums, patient with first-time singers, and the reason the kit is always up.
Runs the booth and the headphone mixes. Comes from radio, so a four-hour voice-over day does not frighten her and the edits are already clean.
Sits at the desk on Sundays and Thursdays. Mixes in one pass with two revisions built into the price, and masters for streaming and disc separately.
We booked one day to track four songs and honestly expected to get two. The kit was already up and mic’d when we walked in at ten, so the first take was on tape before eleven. All four are done.
I record audiobook chapters and I am picky about the booth. This one is dead without being airless, and the headphone mix was right on the first try. I have moved my whole schedule here.
The mix came back with the guitars further forward than I asked, so I used one revision and it was fixed the same evening. The mastering step was the part I did not know I needed — the single finally sits next to everything else.
We are behind the old goods yard. The entrance is the grey door beside the loading ramp — ring once and someone will come down.

Thank you. The desk will reply by email, and you will get the engineer's name in the same message.
