Rendezvous STudIos

ALL SONGS (see left) ARE FROM THIS STUDIO except - THE CATCH (live recordings at EMI Records) & the 'demo' tracks which were entirely recorded on a Yamaha QY700 & Roland 16 track workstation in 2001 The spacious studio is equipped with today's state of the art technology and designed for all types of recording. Songwriters and bands alike will feel at home in the spacious and friendly environment where we aim to get the very best results. There is natural light in every room and recording area, and the atmosphere is conducive to creativity. We also cater for jingles, TV and film soundtracks and have a fine selection of session musicians if required. In-house production is also available. You are welcome to visit the studio prior to a booking and we can discuss then any specific requirements you may have to ensure that your time spent with us is both productive and enjoyable. TECHNICAL STUFF - Boring for some but important to others The d8b console has 24 fully loaded input channels 12 with mic amps & all with line trims (on top of this we have 4 channels of TLA Valve & 1 Jo Meek mic amp). By fully loaded we mean 4 EQ Types, Compressors, Expanders & Gates on all but FX Returns' 24 MULTITRACK Returns + 8 Extra returns for outboard gear. 12 Aux sends + 8 Audio busses & 8 Sub groups. The d8b MFX card give you 2 stereo multi fx's plug in's. The UFX cards give you 4 stereo or 8 mono plug in's by TC / ANTARES & ACUMA and it is quite feasible to do a complicated mix with the HD 24 & Logic Audio (and its array of plug in FX) without ever leaving the Digital Domain. ie: No outboard = instant recall of mixes. Logic Audio Deals with the Midi side of things and provides more audio tracks 24 / 32 / it depends. It is also a wonderful editing / manipulation tool for audio and Midi, plus we are also constantly adding to our collection of VST Plugins,Synths & Keyboards. d8b / HD 24 & Logic all run as one integrated unit from an Apogee word clock and just about every function is automated with the d8b and Logic control consoles. As far as recording is concerned, our aim is to capture your sound/song/idea and because we use 2 Samson Foldback amps it allows us to give 2 completely separate foldback mixes & each mix has 4 separate outputs with discreet level & EQ so we can deafen the drummer but look after the singer or visa versa!! Location RENDEZVOUS 2 is situated in glorious Somerset countryside, 40 minutes from Bristol and Taunton and just over two hours from London. The nearest town, Glastonbury, with its famous tor, is visible from the studio, as is Wells, the smallest city in England. The A37 and A303 are just 10 minutes away and the nearest station is Castle Cary, 20 minutes from our building and with direct access to London's Paddington station (journey approx. 1hr 40m).
