Sam Duckworth records live at Unit Studios - Album Recording, January 2011

Sam Duckworth has been busy writing new material. For his fourth record, which will be released on Cooking Vinyl, Sam has taken the 'roots route' of playing his songs live in the studio. The vibe of the new tracks is: relaxed vocals, with broken, jazzy beats and contrasting clean / airy delayed guitars. We recorded 6 tracks over 5 days, working late into the night to achieve a huge amount of work. Look out for the new album later this year, it is going to be a huge success.

Primary 1 prepares for tour at Unit Studios - Backing track mixing, November 2010

Joe from Primary 1, signed to Atlantic records, made a visit to Unit Studios this month to finalise his live set backing with Adam, our in-house engineer. They worked on levelling out all the audio and mixing some new tracks to fit into the set. Joe brought his Fostex Hard Disc system to the studio, knowing that Adam had good experience using this equipment from the "Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly." live setup. By the end of the day, all the tracks were mixed and loaded onto the playback system with start points locked tight to the first click track, allowing for a smooth performance on stage.
