A Residential Recording Studio offering the freedom to be creative and focused 24 hrs a day without outside distractionView from the studio accomodation at 5am

 

Here at the Furnace Residential Recording Studio we have created a place where we can meet any artistic needs. If you want to record using high spec digital equipment and taking advantage of the latest in technology, we have the tools, or if you want to record using Reel to Reel tape recorders and old Neumann and Reslo mics, we can do that. Or a mix of both!

Our emphasis is on you and we will do what is best to record the sound YOU want. For us, the session isn’t over until you have a mix you are happy with so we will be happy to tweak things here and there when you have had a chance to listen back and spot anything you need changed. Service is our priority as we want to keep recording bands we like and we want you to keep coming back.

The recording studio is set in beautiful countryside so you have great weather not to mention the low cost of living prices because lets face it, food, beer and cigarettes can often add a fair amount to the price of any studio visit. A pint of beer here is about €0.75 although you’ll have to buy it in litres.

Back to the studio. The residential area has everything you need so that up to 6 people can cook, clean and sleep comfortably. We also offer a house maid service at a reasonable price to tidy up after you and make sure that you get back to a relaxing setting after a long day of recording. The residential area also has a TV, DVD player and Nintendo Wii but from our experience you’ll probably be out side enjoying the weather at the barbeque pit.

We also have a photographic studio that you can take advantage of whilst you’re here if you want promo shots/album artwork and we will document your time in the studio with a few high resolution pictures free of charge.

Studio Accomodation PDF Print E-mail
Less stress = better record...
The best thing about a Residential Recording Studio is that you can focus 100% on what you want to record. No cars or taxis home or to a hotel and non of the distraction of day to day life. But you need to unwind a bit at the end of the day still.

Here at the Furnace we’ve created a comfortable environment for when the days recording is over. The accommodation at the studio can house 6 people comfortable and we also have properties within a few minutes walk if you need more room.

You have everything you need in 1 place so that you can cook clean and sleep 6 people. Have a look at our rates and you’ll see that just renting a hotel for 6 people would cost more than it costs per day here at The Furnace!

In the accommodation you also have a TV, DVD player, sound system, Nintendo Wii and a Super Nintendo Entertainment System if you want to get a bit retro.

We have Art spaces which you can also hire whilst you are here if you want to work on artwork whilst you are “in the zone” and there are no distractions. We also have a resident photographer who will take some snaps of you in the studio free of charge (unless you don’t want us to) and we have a dedicated photography studio if you want to get promo shots and album photography done whilst you are here.

The studio is set in just over an acre of its own land so you have plenty of space to enjoy the amazing weather (in the summer anyway) and we have built a barbeque pit in the garden which is where most people unwind after a good day of recording.

There is a forest within about 15 minutes walk and an excellent fishing lake (if you are into that sort of thing) about 10 minutes away. The weather is similar o Turkey in the summer (as in hot and sunny) and we get cold short snowy winters.

The costs of living over here are low. A good bottle of wine is about £1.20, a litre of beer about £0.80 and a packet of 20 cigarettes about £1.15! The food is cheap too! We have our own organic farm for ourselves if you want your food as fresh as it can get. We keep Chickens, Pigs and Goats on a separate bit of land a few minutes from the studio and we would be more than happy to show you round in the evening. We also brew our own Cider if that’s what you fancy.

If you aren’t into tidying up after yourself we can provide a house maid service to clean the accommodation whilst you are recording for a reasonable rate so you have one less thing to worry about.

We really have made The Furnace the ultimate relaxing/creative environment for your enjoyment.

 

 
Do you do mastering? PDF Print E-mail

We don’t but we have a relationship with a mastering studio who we use and work with regularly. There are a lot of people advertising that they are a mastering studio who have bought a bit of software that does most of it automatically… Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. There really is no substitute for a proper mastering engineer with the right equipment.

 
New recording studio equipment PDF Print E-mail

We love buying new stuff for the studio! If we weren't so busy playing with all of our toys we'd probably write about it here... Oh well

1st Feb 2010:

We’ve just had a few things arrive that we are very excited about (although we are always excited when new stuff turns up)

 

Our new Marshall 3310 head and cab are a great addition to the studio. Everyone knows that Marshall build amps that will really make your guitar wail! The 3310 was made in 1988 and had an ample 100w which is perfect in a studio situation. It is a transistored Master Volume Split Channel MOSFET head with reverb. We’re going to put it through its paces in the next few weeks ourselves and then we’ll unleash it on the world.

 

Today also saw the arrival in the studio of a 70’s classic! The Roland GE-820 is a classic analogue 11 band stereo Graphic Equalizer built in 1978. Yeah we know a lot of bad things musically happened in the 70’s but this ones a gem we promise!

 

I would love to tell you more but we need to try this new studio equipment out ASAP.
