I have a residential recording studio complex in France called VibeyStudios where bands and artists come to develop, write and record …I also provide A&R services and do ’song critiques’. I help people remotely develop their songs in production and recording and ‘sounds’. Also I teach a multitude of studio recording techniques, using hardware and software, as a musician, producer and music programmer.
The recording studio is equipped with many cool old synths and all sorts of vibey instruments and old analog effects, several pianos and organs. The studio has separate recording rooms; Drum Room, Strings Room, Guitar Room, Behringer Synth room, Writing Room, Control Room, Live Room, Amp Room, Ham Radio and Synths Shack and Vocal Booth, Strings Room, Tower room, Rave room and Nightclub space, even a Banqueting hall!, All acoustically treated for recording real instruments.
The studio can accommodate 12 people comfortably, with an attached but separate artists apartments. Artists and Bands stay can vary form a few days to many months depending on what we are recording (single, EP, or Album).
