Facilities

At Inch studios we utilise the latest advances in digital audio, as well as adhereing to classic analogue recording methods. The studio itself consists of a control room and a live room / performance space. There is also a larger room available for more ambient recordings.

Both rooms have been carefully designed and treated by acoustic specialist Andrew Parry, to obtain a perfectly flat frequency response. This means that mixes will transport well from one system to another without any nasty surprises!
