Real
World Studios - One of the finest studios in the World

Completely
unique in style and character, Real World is a collection
of stunning studios. Without
any doubt, the main studio, 'The Big Room', is not big
- they call it big - we disagree: It's GIGANTIC.
Herds of wildebeest could charge through and the chances
are you'd not be flattened. The above panoramic
view of the control room gives only a hint of the dimension.
Awesome.
The Big
Room features a huge K Series SSL console and the range
of outboard is second to none. Although the control
room could accommodate a Boeing 747, it sounds great
and is a superb space to work, be it recording or mixing!
What makes
the studio such a success though is the range of recording
areas. The 'Wooden Room' is simply knee tremblingly
brilliant! If you can't get a good sound in there,
well, there's an alternative career in sales or marketing
to look at!
If you're
still searching for something different, there's the
'Stone Room' to try. Not many studios can match
this room and the artist will be captivated by the river
actually running under their feet which can be seen
through a glass floor.
SSL AWS 900+ room
For the
mix projects, a smaller SSL 'Work Room' is perfect with
it's newly rebuilt control room that features the latest
SSL AWS 900+ console that also controls Pro Tools.
Real World's Stone Room
Facilities:
Stone cottages
with a village feel are perfect to set up home in.
Rest areas tucked away in nook and crannies provide
space. The dining facilities are superb.The
grounds also offer lots of space and air.
Again,
their standards of accommodation, food, atmosphere and
comfort are what define a top residential studio.
Run by very competent staff with huge knowledge and
understanding of the artists requirements guarantee
perfect sessions.
Studio
Manager, Owen Leach, and Studio Director, Mike Large,

top studio charts. The studios must be seen to
