Testimonials
Bowhouse Studios is a very welcoming and relaxed place to record. Mark was very patient and encouraging (even after take 20!) and was willing to try things and offer advice. I am very happy with the demos recorded there and will definitely go back!
So pleased with the recording we made. It's had some very positive responses not just from friends and family, but from complete strangers who loved the material and the professional sound you gave to it. Excellent work, and I hope to record with you again.
In 2010 we recorded a number of demo projects at the Bowhouse in Cardiff.

Live recording is possible at everything from small live venues to festivals. We are equipped with the mobile recording equipment necessary to record up to 32 tracks of CD quality live audio and mix it down to a professional stereo mix.Studio Recording
Small recording projects are carried out at the main mix studio, located near the centre of Cardiff. The main mix studio is easily reachable on foot or by utilising Cardiff City Centre train and bus connections if you are from further afield. It offers safe car parking less than a minute away. Located near to Bristol, Swansea and Newport, it isn’t a problem for a client to be located outside of the local Cardiff area and we can come to you. In co-operation with local recording spaces we are equipped to record anything from a three piece band to a chamber orchestra.Mastering
I have trained with one of the best Mastering Engineers in Wales. Mastering is available on all of your mixes from my studio. If you have recorded something and you would appreciate a fresh pair of ears then fire your mixes over to my soundcloud dropbox and we'll see what Bowhouse Studios can do to improve your mix!Recordings
