Gareth is someone who makes you feel completely at home in the studio. He is probably one of the best Logic engineers in the country. I'm sure that you will love working with him and all the people at River Studios as much as I do!

I recorded many of the demos for my album with Gareth including my song, 'Without A Word', which was then used in the final produced track. It's a song that is very special to me as it is the first of my own work to be featured on the album.

It was wonderful having an ear in on your session, your expertise and talent was impressive.  Hope to work with you again.

I loved this sanctuary...I loved its vibe...maybe its because Gareth is so passionate for his work and the artist

Recording

The studio was designed in 2010 from the ground up to ensure the best possible results, with our state of the art equipment and experienced producers we are a high quality studio with realistic prices.

the studioThe Studio

The studio comprises a large, comfortable control room, two live rooms, two isolated amp rooms and also benefits from dedicated kitchen & toilet facilities. Various acoustically treated rooms around the building also have tie lines into the studio. With prior arrangement we can record from up to 8 sonically isolated and acoustically treated spaces simultaneously – the largest of which can comfortably house a small orchestra!

Gareth Henderson ran the long respected "HL Studios" which, over the last 13 years, established an outstanding reputation as one of the best small studios in the South. Olli Daffarn, a graduate of The Academy Of Contemporary Music, joined him three years ago and has a wealth of experience both live and in the Studio. They are both happy to offer insight, suggest changes or help with developing songs. They are also both very capable of simply just recording you if prefer!

experienceOur Experience

We take pride in our diverse range of projects from helping singer/songwriters to flesh out their songs, full band recordings and cover versions over backing tracks, to more unusual things like voice overs for Sky Sports and the BBC one show, voice commands for digital radio systems, talking books and relaxation CD's. If it makes a noise we can probably record it!
