Starling Audio's Studio Facilities
Brock House
Our studio is in the village of Middleton Stoney, in Oxfordshire. We have two main recording spaces, an acoustically treated room about 1.9 x 4.2 m, and a larger control room about 5.2 x 4.2 m. There's also a corridor between the two for the banjo player.
The smaller room is comfortable for three musicians playing acoustic instruments simultaneously in - four at a squeeze. Alternatively, there's room for a reasonably-sized drum kit and a reasonably-sized bass player. There are 12 microphone channels to the control room, and four headphone returns.
Our main recording system is a PC with an M-Audio Delta 1010 and an M-Audio Delta 44 installed, giving us 12 simultaneous 24-bit recording channels. Recording & monitoring is via a Soundcraft Spirit Folio 20-channel mixer: up to four separate headphone mixes are available. We use the Ardour digital audio workstation software, running on the Debian GNU/Linux operating system.
There's a more detailed list of some of our more interesting & useful gear here, in case anyone's interested.
