If I can upload it her eis a gif of the studio control room....I intend to add it to my e-mail signature so need to host it somewhere where I can get embed code...and Vox wins every time on this thing :o)))
The pictures were taken by Affinitie photographer Katy while she was around the studio during a recording session so a huge thanks to her for these. I will be posting some of Katy's model and band work soon so keep en peeled - I may even make another gif :o))

Hmmm....looks like a still as I am doing this post.....this is Head Producer...Si Reeves - so now you know....:O)
Two new metal recordings....
Skull Fox - Studio favorites with a new hybrid live recording of a new EP - this track (For the Sake of Retribution) will be on their new EP. Launch TBD but just how much have these guys grown in a year??? Excellent.
New to the studio were the very impressive Shot in the Dark - If All Else Fails was one of 3 songs done in just a day.....awesome drums.....
More recordings to post soon :o).

A huge hello to all those who read our vox blog as well as this feed embedded in our website and myspace and facebook etc :o)).
It has been a while, has it not...? Not through laziness and not through a lack of love for my blog - just been stupidly bust chasing my tail all day every day for over a month......let me explain......
Every year, Si, my business partner, goes to Italy on hols for anything between 3 and 5 weeks - this year was about 4 and he also got married while he was out there to the lovely Maria - so sincere congratulations to Mr and Mrs Reeves. however, this left me with me.....and some supposed help - which would only materialise, and only sometimes at that, for money - which is only to be expected - after all we need to make our way and pay our bills. But....I have been up to my proverbials in it.
So, Si is back, this is what has been happening....
Rehearsal room 4 is sooo nearly completely finished....but was so in demand it is already being used as Police B*****d prepare to go on tour.
We have recorded and mixed and mastered (for free!!) 4 more bands in the last 4 weeks for radio broadcast and have several more interviews lined up.
Mike - our graduate producer, continues to cut his teeth on several new projects and we feel he is going to be a real asset in times ahead.
We have been working on TV audio for Race TV - many thanks to Nick
We have been working on corporate audio and are soon to start filming modular teaching videos.
We have just finished recording new material for Skull Fox, the Yipes, A Shot in the Dark, Zanzibar, Police Ba****d, Beechwood and many many more...bless you all for using us!! From acoustic bliss to some of the most vitreolic metal I have ever heard - excellent :o))).
We are about to start mastering an album for a recently found local producer called Elliot - watch this space - really excellent work.
A big hi to Strikes - our first Grime artist - see you again soon - really top tunes.
I have been on WCR fm for an interview with the Unsigned Show hosted by Katy Jay and may have a 2 hour special of my own coming up in the future. Loads of love goes out to Katy and Steve Morris (Station Manager) for the continued mutual support.
2009 will see a few changes coming up at our creative playground - watch this space cos these will get more frequent and some small and big changes are afoot.
