Studio One

The Lodge Recording Studio - Studio 1

Studio One features a massive vintage Cadac analogue mixing desk.

A Vintage Cadac of this era is probably the best recording console ever made. In its day, it was also the most expensive to produce. Now, they rarely come onto the market and are much sought after.

The large live room, the vintage desk and state-of-the-art Apogee digital converters are features you might expect from a studio charging many times more than The Lodge.

 

The CADAC in The Lodge was originally commissioned in 1976 and installed at the legendary Battery Studios in North London where it was used to record some of the greatest recordings of the day (The Sex Pistols, The Police, Queen, The Who, Def Leppard and Duran Duran).

Live Room 1

Two stories high for world class drum sounds

A wonderful place to spend your day. Plenty of room and superb acoustics from the mixture of stone and wood surfaces.

There's also a dead room for recording vocals or guitar amps during live recordings.

Studio Two

Studio Two - a perfect environment to create the perfect mix.

The Yamaha digital desk features control surfaces for Protools and Cubase, making mixing a lot more fun. Monitoring is through wonderful sounding Tannoy Super Reds.

Studio Two's live rooms

A piano room, vocal booth and further isolation room - a great place for all-at-once recordings.

Studio 2 is very popular with Jazz pianists. The drums can be isolated, and a sax player can stand in the booth and maintain eye-contact with the drummer and pianist.
