Joe Willes, Jason Ducker and Max Read are the main engineers. Joe Willes is a new Lodge recruit from Daventry and has an excellent ear Elsa is a doberman dog who also lives in the studio. We are actually in Northampton town centre, Northamptonshire (Northants) which shares its borders with Cambridgeshire (Cambs), Bedfordshire (Beds) and Buckinghamshire (Bucks).</font><p> <font color="#FFFFFF" face="Tahoma" size="2">Licolnshire also borders, but only a bit! Milton Keynes is just down the road.</font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Studio A specializes in recording rock bands. Studio B is great for voice-overs and spoken word. Voiceovers require a sound proof booth, which we have. Voice overs are recorded straight to disk and can then be sent via FTP or Email to the client at the end of the session for quick turnaround. </font></p> <p> <font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Some recording clients come from the Oxfordshire -  Oxon area and make use of our fairly luxurious accommodation. Warwickshire - Warcs is also nearby as is  Leicestershire, Leics. In fact  many of bands come from either Leicester, Leicestershire or Nottingham, Nottinghamshire   because our accommodation is incredibly inexpensive. Notts.<br> <br> Being a residential studio, we have many clients who visit regularly from further a field including Berkshire , Berks. Also from Sussex and Derbyshire Derbys,  Derbs as well as Staffordshire, Staffs. The Lodge have also had customers from Hertfordshire,  Herts, and Essex. Also Surrey and Worcester Worcs. In other words, we cover the whole central England area centred on The Midlands</font></p> <p><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Tahoma" size="2">London is an hour away both by road and rail. Birmingham and Coventry are even nearer. Bedford and Kettering are almost as nearby as Peterborough, Cambridge, Corby.</font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">In fact we are doing more and more work from the Birmingham and Stoke areas at present</font></p> <p><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Tahoma" size="2">Other studios in Northants are Hot Rock Studios, Far Heath and Fitdog. Rooksmere is a new studio. There is also a small studio in Market Harborough called Pure Tones. Parloursound, sometimes mis-spelt as parlorsound - Parlour Sound -is a new facility opened in Kettering. </font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Rehearsal facilities in Northampton are situated in the main venues; The Soundhaus (Sound House) and The Roadmender but Big Noise is the longest established. <br> <br> Logicom is in Milton Keynes. Lost Boys Studios is also nearby. React Studios are in Buckingham. Great Linford Manor has to be the most prestigious in the area - of course we think we are by far the best value but we would, wouldn't we;-)</font></p> <p> </td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="768" id="table14"> <tr> <td width="91%" bgcolor="#666666" align="center"> <p align="left"> <span style="background-color: #666666; "> <font face="Tahoma" size="5" color="#99CCFF"> <a name="rooms">ROOMS</a></font></span></td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="767" id="table15"> <tr> <td width="44%" valign="top"> <img border="0" src="2005Front_Shot_1.jpg" width="369" height="281" alt="The Lodge Studio Live Room"><p align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#C0C0C0">The Lodge is the only local studio with a truly purpose designed sound stage for recording drums and serious percussion, a fact which can make an enormous difference to the outcome of any recordings.</font></p> </td> <td width="35%" valign="top"> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma" color="#00CC99"> <span style="background-color: #000000">UNIQUE RECORDING ENVIRONMENT</span></font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma" color="#FFFFFF" size="2"> <span style="background-color: #000000">GEARED UP FOR RECORDING BANDS WITH DRUM KITS </span></font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#C0C0C0">The main Live Room is geared up for bands.
