Just a quick reminder of the changes that took place in our flagship mix room this summer…
In July we rescued the infamous SSL4056 G-Series console from Olympic’s Studio 2 and after completely refurbishing it, made it the centrepiece of The Engine room. The desk has been loaded with 48 mono channels (36 G EQ and 12 blackface E EQ) and 8 stereo channels making it a flexible mixing tool. The desk is joined by our celebrated monitoring system consisting of customised Munro M4s running off chevin amplification and which are regularly checked and calibrated by acoustician Nick Whitaker. In addition to the Massenberg, Tubetech, EAR, Summit, and Urei names, we have recently added some of the best newcomers, including Empirical Labs, Manley, and EMI Chandler, to enhance an already fantastic selection of quality ourboard.
The room has a history of delivering hit records including Oasis’ What’s The Morning Glory and Be Here Now, all the Chemical Brothers albums, Slipknot’s 2008 no.1 U.S. album All Hope Is Gone and more recently the Mercury-nominated Villagers album Becoming A Jackal. It is also a favourite of a variety of producer / mixers including Ben Hillier, Phill Brown, Colin Richardson, Mike Crossey and Steve Dub.

Blue Pro Mastering is one of two London-based mastering rooms we have teamed up with to launch Miloco Mastering. Blue Pro was founded by Alexander Balfour in 2001 and offers audio mastering in addition to both CD & DVD Duplication & Replication services. It is based in Miloco’s Hornsey premises in North London.
Blue Pro deliver the highest possible standards in Audio CD mastering using only the best audio path and equipment available, operated by experienced resident engineers John Webber and Jerome Schmitt. The facility is fundamentally built around the MTC-2 Mastering Console from Maselec. Built by legendary producer Leif Mases (Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck, Europe, Led Zeppelin and Abba) the MTC-2 is undoubtedly the perfect centre-piece to a world class mastering facility. However the Blue Pro spec also includes many other options from Maselec such as the classic MEA-2 Equaliser, MLA-2 Compressor and a more recent addition, the MPL-2 De-Esser and Brickwall Limiter. The is also a good choice of Prism converters, compressers and EQs.
