This August Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris stopped by at Black Rock in Santorini with producer Kevin Shirley to do some mixing and admire the beautiful island of Santorini. During their free time they checked out the Island and loved the place so much, they promised to be back soon.
Earlier in the summer Joe Bonamassa spent five weeks recording his new CD at Black Rock . Last year Joe recorded his most recent release entitled ‘Black Rock’ in Santorini, and it is still at the top of the Billboard charts.
Black Rock Studio is one of our 5 star residential hideaways based on the stunning Island of Santorini. To see more details on this fabulous studio click here.

This week it is the Yard’s turn to receive some new equipment with the addition of a brand new GML 8200 Stereo EQ. Not a bad little purchase for a Protools room. The Yard, based in Highbury, London is run in partnership with producer / engineer James Lewis. In his words –
“The new GML 8200 E.Q. complements the thickness of the Chandler Mixer beautifully enabling you to really open up the top end of the mix and if needed add some deep lows or extra punch.”
The Yard is an amazingly versatile studio – centered around a powerful Protools HD3 rig and a Chandler line mixer this is our leading ‘Mixing In The Box Room’. However, we don’t just rely on the large plug-in library we also have a great selection of outboard to help enhance your mix – from manufacturers such as Chandler, SSL, AMS, Urei and Thermionic Culture.
On top of this we have also made some additions to our plugins. Recently we have updated the Waves package from Platinum to Mercury and bought the Waves SSL bundle. Sound Toys has also been updated to version 4 adding two new plugins – Decapitator and Pan Man. Finally we have also added the Culture Phoenix plugin. For a full list of the latest specification click here.

Electric River are a London-based brassy punk outfit. They’ve spent the latter part of the summer tracking in Miloco’s Garden and mixing in The Engine Room with engineer Joe Fields. Their new material has taken a more ‘dancey’ route to previous records, but is said to remain rooted in punk. We gave them a Miloco artists Q&A to tell us all a little more about themselves and their time at the studios.
You can read their answers here!

This week we have upgraded a couple of our plug-ins on our Musikbox rig. The Soundtoys TDM FX bundle has gone up to version 4 adding two new great plug-ins – Decapitator and PanMan to the rig. We have also upgraded Autotune to the latest version – Autotune Evo. Now you too can warble like X Factor (or tweak your already perfect artists). For a full up to date check of the specification at Musikbox and to find out why this is such a great VR mix room click here.
After the first few sessions in the Engine Room, we firmly believe we have created one of the best mix rooms in London. After installing the Ex-Olympic Studios SSL G Series console a few weeks ago and a few sessionsdown the line, the feedback has been nothing but positive. However there was one thing missing, a good A/D convertor. So after a few days of listening tests and putting the best convertors on trial head to head, we unanimously decided that the Lavry Gold, courtesy of the fantastic KMR, was the one to go for. The Engine Room now has the very best convertors to mix you tracks through. The Lavry Gold is only found in the best rooms around the world by the best mix engineers and therefore it was a must for us. For further details on this incredible sounding piece of kit read here.
