RECORDING STUDIO
Atlas Studio was built within our London film studio premises by engineer/producers Harry Coades and Marc Waterman in consultation with electro-acoustic designer Nick Whittaker. It has been in operation since 2015.
The fully equipped recording studio facility offers a spacious live room, an adjoining control room, and an amp booth, all of which have been acoustically treated professionally to the highest standards. Isolation panels that can be placed in between instruments in order to reduce any potential bleed that may occur are available for your live recording sessions.
The live room space is highly versatile with 24 channel wall boxes, configurable acoustics, and an amp booth, as well as an array of wood, marble and absorbent surfaces to choose from. The recording studio is equipped with its own Wi-Fi network.
Each recording session is overseen by one of our three inhouse engineers, depending on your needs. Together they offer a combined experience of more than 50 years in the music industry encompassing a wide variety of recording projects. Our recording manager will help organise the engineer for your session.
The studio’s comprehensive range of hardware and microphones enables our engineers to accommodate artists and bands from a broad range of genres and to deliver a final product expertly crafted to your satisfaction.

OUR STORY
The Blue Studios is the realisation of founder Andrew Bantock’s vision to offer the facilities to rehearse, record, film and cut a disc, all under one roof.
Andrew set up his first music studio in Clapton, East London in 1989, with the aim of providing musicians with a place to rehearse and record at a good price, top quality well-maintained equipment, a friendly team on hand to help, and a clean and tidy space to meet and hang out.
Two subsequent music studios further developed the offering while staying true to the original aim. The Blue Studios benefits from Andrew’s 30+ years of experience in building and running studios, offering multimedia production services including film and photoshoots, a music recording studio, rehearsal rooms, and a record cutting facility.
Our friendly and professional team is ready to welcome you to the Blue Studios and always on hand to help make sure that your filming, photoshoot, rehearsal, or recording session runs as smoothly as possible.
