Videos Celebrating Jon Lord and One Direction: This Is Us, the audio of which was digitally recorded with Miloco partner DMZ Live’s vehicle, achieved No 1s in this month’s Music Video Charts.
The premix for Celebrating Jon Lord, the video of the concert honouring Deep Purple’s Jon Lord (pictured), was completed at The Yard, a studio on the Miloco roster.
The final mixes were carried out at Abbey Road and Miloco’s Livingston Studios, and the concert was recorded at Royal Albert Hall, technically a very large setup.
The audio for documentary One Direction: This Is Us was recorded from four of the band’s concerts at The O2.
DMZ has since recorded a David Attenborough trailer for the BBC, The Specials at the University of East Anglia, Band of Skulls at O2 Guildhall Southampton, The Jim Jones Revue’s final show at The Forum, and Yann Tiersen and Underworld at the Royal Festival Hall, to name but a few.
In addition, the DMZ team used The Yard for the 5.1 mixing and part of the live show DVD mix of Depeche Mode’s Delta Machine tour, which all featured in the Depeche Mode: Alive In Berlin film.

Grammy-winning record producer, mixer, and engineer Jacquire King will conduct a Mix With The Masters seminar at the residential Studios La Fabrique, a studio on the Miloco roster in the south of France, from 22-28 May 2015.
King has emerged as one of the most exciting engineer/producer of his generation and has worked with artists including Norah Jones, Kings of Leon, Josh Ritter, Cold War Kids, Punch Brothers, Melissa Etheridge, The Airborne Toxic Event, and Dawes.
“I have been a part of the making of many great records, and my main contribution has been to help identify what the great ideas are, and help bring them to life,” said King. “I look forward to offering seminar participants the inside track on this.”
During this very unique event, King will teach his engineering and mixing techniques to a small group of selected engineers, producers, and musicians from all over the world. King will work on the attendees’ personal projects and he will also record a band to share his approach on production.

A new wheelhouse, which is used as a flat, has been added to Miloco’s Lightship95 studio in London Docklands.
“It’s actually a self-contained two-bed flat to milk the insanely inflated rental prices in this area,” said Lightship95’s Ben Phillips. “So not directly for the studio but it will certainly be financing some new equipment purchases next year!”
Phillips has one more compartment, next to the control room and beneath this new wheelhouse, to convert. The compartment, which Phillips hopes to renovate late next year, will be an expansion of the studio and the last area he can develop on the ship.

(2014), pre-produced by Miloco partner Paul Epworth and Midge Ure at Miloco’s The Church Studios, and produced by Epworth and Ure at Sarm Studios.
Gotham Producers’ Matt Wiggins mixed the song – which features Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, One Direction, Rita Ora, Bastille, and more – at Sarm Studios.
“The mix process started at Sarm, straight after all the individual’s parts were decided upon and the vocals had been arranged,” said Wiggins. “The instrumental part of the track was already in a good place after Paul had worked on it with Midge Ure at The Church in the weeks before, so it was a case of making space for the vocals, adding the new instrumentation, and getting a consistency between all of the vocal sounds.
Matt Wiggins
“The calibre of artist on the record is so high that it was great fun recording everyone throughout the day. It was interesting to hear each vocalist’s interpretation of the song. The choir section was brilliant to record. Looking out into the studio, seeing everyone singing was an incredible moment.”
The charity single, organised for a fourth time by Bob Geldof, has sold over 312,000 copies in its first week to make it the fastest-selling single of 2014. All profits will go to the Band Aid trust in the fight against Ebola, and all partners involved have given their time and services for free.
The track was recorded and the video made all within 36 hours.

Miloco is proud to announce that the group is now representing studios in the USA, starting with key recording cities Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, and San Francisco. The first four studios are Eldorado in Los Angeles, The Bunker Studio in New York, Welcome to 1979 in Nashville, and Studio Trilogy in San Francisco.
The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn, New York is owned and run by producer and musician John Davis and producer and engineer Aaron Nevezie. Based around an SSL E series console and Pro Tools HD, Studio A comes with an incredible amount of outboard, back-line, and microphones, while Studio B contains a recently installed Neve 8058 that is again complemented with a great selection of gear.
Over on the west coast, producer, mixer, and self-confessed terrible surfer Rich Costey runs Los Angeles’ Eldorado Recording Studios. Based around a 48-channel SSL XL 9000 K console, mastering-grade full-range PMC monitors, and a great selection of outboard that highlights a vast collection of external mic pres, EQs, and compressors, the main control room is perfect for bands to record in. Software includes Pro Tools 10 and 11, Logic X, Cubase, and Ableton. On top of this there is a secondary control room, housing an impressive collection of synths and keyboards, which also connects to the main live room and has its own booth.
Just up the coast in San Francisco, the SSL Room is the focal point of the equally impressive Studio Trilogy. It features an 80-channel SSL XL 9000K console, is 5.1 capable, and its centre of attention is analogue processing, with a combination of new and vintage analogue gear. The room is the definitive mixing studio, with a soffit mounted Genelec 1038B monitoring system, a Genelec 7070A active subwoofer, and tuning and design by Walters-Storyk Design Group’s Dirk Noy and John Storyk respectively.
Welcome To 1979, a retro recording studio just minutes from downtown Nashville, includes more than 7,000 square feet over two floors, which means there is plenty of room for bands to spread out. The live room is an impressive 25 x 40ft, and this is complemented by eight isolation rooms. Recording is done through a vintage MCI onto tape, but there is Pro Tools for those who wish to stay in the digital domain. The studio is well backed up on the instrument front, with three pianos and plenty of vintage keyboards.
More USA recording studios will be arriving in the coming months. Miloco has some amazing studios in the pipeline and is proud to be extending its directory Stateside.
