London Studio Engineers

Video Missing - hopefully it will be back online soon

London Studio Engineers (LSE) is a 'collective' of some young recording engineers who have vast experience in every aspect of the recording process and are available for all of your projects needs – from writing and pre-production through to the final mix.

The key engineers are Edd Hartwell and Sam Farr. Both engineers have worked at SARM Studios under big name producers including Trevor Horn and Steve Lipson. They have an excellent working knowledge in the use and setup of digital and analogue equipment including practical knowledge and expertise in Pro Tools HD, Logic Pro, SSL 9000J/K, 4000E/G, AWS, Duality, Neve VR & 88RS. They're also well versed in most popular plug-ins and software instruments, timing, tuning and editing.

The engineers can organise the setup of live rooms for tracking everything from orchestras and live bands through to single instrument overdubs to mixing in the box or in a studio. They have access to some of the best rooms around and they can come and help you in your own studio. With the days of limited budgets but many people having good basic recording set-ups at their own home studio, they can help you extract the most from your equipment and help arrange locations to record important things such as drums.
