Record the music—not just the individual parts.
A convincing recording begins before the red light comes on. Steve works with the artist on arrangement, instrumentation, tempo, feel and the practical shape of the session so that studio time is spent capturing performances rather than solving avoidable problems.
Sessions can be as focused as a single vocal or instrument, or can cover a complete single, EP or album. Instruments may be tracked separately for maximum control or recorded together when interaction and live energy matter more.
A flexible room for drums, voices and real instruments.
The studio is equipped for full drum kits, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, piano, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, mandocello, violin, cello, accordion, solo vocals and small vocal groups. Microphone choices include AEA, Chandler, Neumann, AKG, Sennheiser, Shure and Electro-Voice.
The live room provides space and natural character, while the more tightly controlled room is useful when separation and precision are the priority. The recording approach is chosen around the instrument and the sound the song needs.
Secluded, comfortable and close to the North Devon coast.
Pound House Productions sits just outside West Down, around 15 minutes from Woolacombe, Croyde, Saunton and Putsborough and roughly 20 minutes from Exmoor. There are no neighbours in sight, giving artists the privacy and headspace to concentrate.
