Axe & Trap Recording Studios is a 4 room studio perfect for bands and just a quarter hour away from Glastonbury's famous site! Co-owner / engineer Ben Turner shows us around the recording spaces and gives a look in to their collection of instruments and equipment.
Studio/Room A is the main live room offering a good space to work, 7 m by 4 m is ideal for drum tracking, full-band recordings and even small orchestral work. Studio/Room B is a smaller room and ideal for tracking a drier close miked drum kit or guitar amps, vocals etc.
Ben Turner amazingly battled the lockdown to produce a fantastic video tour around the studios and we think they are very worth a visit - we are planning to get down there and record some follow up features when we are able! Ben is best known for his production and mixing work with Part Chimp, Hey Colossus and SickOnes. He does a lot of heavier music as a multi instrumentalist he also has a strong indie and electronic history, musically and in the studio.
The studio website is well worth checking out for more info: [ Ссылка ]
