Recording Studio in Suffolk

Hello and welcome!

I’m David Edward Booth – The Recording Booth (see what I did there?). I’m a music producer, songwriter, recording & mixing engineer, multi-instrumentalist and mentor. The Recording Booth is also the name of my boutique recording studio at my home in rural Suffolk, UK.

Over the years I’ve worked out of a whole bunch of different recording spaces. Some were traditional recording studios with a separate live room and control room. But it wasn’t long before I decided I preferred the direct communication possible when we’re all in one room together. It’s a different recording experience, for sure, but one which allows fast, easy discussions on everything from vocal breath control and guitar tunings to microphone placement and how you like your tea!

If you’re thinking about recording in a studio, chances are you’re pretty serious about your music and really want to make sure you find the right place. If you’re a really loud ten-piece rock band needing to record completely live during night-time recording sessions in studios based next to 24-hour McDonald’s or studios in London with a choice of a dozen drum kits, I’m not your place. Have fun! If, however, you’re a singer-songwriter looking for a relaxed studio recording environment, surrounded by beautiful countryside, where the emphasis on creativity and how you feel is as important as what recording interface I use, put The Recording Booth on your shortlist! 

Of course, if you’re looking for somewhere specifically in the East of England and simply putting ‘recording studio near me’ into Google, there are plenty of other recording studios close to me that you should research. Perhaps they have bigger rooms and more guitar amps which suit your music. Just make sure you’re also thinking carefully about who you’re going to work with. Speaking of which…

I would argue that just as important as the physical space, the equipment in your choice of music recording studio or what services the studio offers, is who you’re going to work with. So, who am I? I’m someone who cares about your project. Someone to be the extra ears, provide the objective overview and give honest, constructive opinions as well as manage the studio time efficiently. I have 25 years of professional experience from both the artist and recording engineer/producer perspectives. I understand what you’re feeling!

And then there’s the possibility of working remotely. Perhaps you’re in Sweden, and have your own music studio where you produce your songs to a pretty high standard, but really need someone with fresh ears to do the mix or add some extra fairy-dust production? No problem!

You probably have questions, which I’ll do my best to answer here on the site. But it’s often easier to have a chat, so whether you’re not sure how to take the next step or if you know exactly what you need from your studio session and you want to make a booking enquiry please call me on 07803031240. I often have the phone off as it’s a bit embarrassing if it goes off in the middle of a take, but do leave a message and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

FAQs

What is a recording studio?

At its most basic, a recording studio is a dedicated space with the necessary equipment and skilled staff to record audio. This could be music, spoken word or sound effects. Traditionally, recording studios would record on to tape using multi-track reel-to-reel tape machines. During the 1990s many studios started to record on computers with specially built recording software. This is now the most common way for audio to be captured.

What skills do I need to record in a studio?

Anyone can go into a recording studio and have their performance captured, but to make the most of studio sessions performers should prepare well; for example, making sure to have the right equipment in good order, be well-rehearsed, and mentally prepared to perform under pressure.

How can I book a recording session?

Sessions with David at The Recording Booth can be booked on the phone or via email. It’s always best to have a chat about the project first.
