STUDIO EQUIPMENT
The debate over analogue or digital will probably continue for a while, but our feelings are that a sound recording should be true to the original sound without coloration and we feel this can only be achieved digitally. Coloration can be added after the recording if required. With our computer based cubase SL3.1 we have found great savings in recording time ,instant drop ins, cut and paste and full Automation plus Total Mix Recall etc. more to the point, our customers love it!

MEADOWSIDE STUDIO
Meadowside Studio was first set up in 1983 as a 4 track studio and was named after the house, which does indeed sit beside a meadow. The studio was originally for the benefit of our own music and to record bands that was under management, but it quickly came into local demand, growing to 8 tracks then 16 by 1987. Into the 90s and a move to 2 inch 24 track, but with digital starting to develop, the decision was made to go digital in 1996.
