We have just relaunched The Bridge – an amazing writing studio in Miloco’s HQ in London SE1. It has been completely refurbished and re-equipped and now offers a new, large control room and two overdub booths, one of which can record drums.
The Bridge is the perfect studio to start making a record on. It features the newly-released Audient ASP4816 console, one of the first two to be sold in the UK, a range of the best microphones and pre-amps, and a choice of backline including some beautiful analogue keyboards and Fender guitars. The recent installation of Avid’s groundbreaking Pro Tools HDX – which brings all the benefits of this powerful hardware system running Pro Tools 10 – means that The Bridge also serves as a powerful ‘mixing in the box’ room.
The new makeover gives the room a more relaxed homely feel. There is a large leather sofa and armchair, coffee table and atmospheric lighting to give the space a really creative vibe. All sessions since the refurbishment have given us great feedback.
