Beau Studios

Beau Studios Music recording using traditional methods, in a cosy home environment. Fees will start at £20 (cost of tape and CD) plus any donation you see fit at the time.

Whether you are a budding musician looking to record a demo, or a more established artist seeking something a little different, Beau Retro Studios aims to offer a comfortable home setting and a more traditional approach to music recording. Equipped with condenser mics, a Fostex R8 reel to reel 8 track tape recorder, CD burner for final mix down, and all sorts of weird and wonderful instruments, pe

rcussion, drum machines and effects, it is a "computer free" set up, no viruses, just hardware! So if you think you might like to visit, or have any questions, then call or message the crew through this page, grab your instrument, and come for tea! There is still lots to learn within the current set up, which is steadily expanding, so it will be an educational journey, both for the people at Beau Retro, and for any visitor. It will go on like this to start with to encourage musicians to come and have a go, with the idea of selling studio time in the future once more established. So, fancy getting recorded for the first time? Or just want to revisit some old 70s memories of how things used to be done? Come for tea!! At Beau Retro Studios.
