Recorded at The First Studio it was seamless from start to finish. Really easy to find, walkable from both Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath stations, so well worth the trip even if you're coming from further across London. Gear was top notch, including an amazing state of the art AI camera system that most studios simply don't have. Everything was set up and ready to go, so we could just get on with recording without any faffing about. Sound quality was excellent throughout. Shez, the owner, was really accommodating and great at communicating throughout, both before and during the session, which made the whole experience feel effortless. The whole process was easy and straightforward, no technical hiccups, which meant we could focus on the conversation rather than the setup. Highly recommend, whether you're local to Hackney or coming from elsewhere in London, this is a studio worth seeking out.
The space is fairly cosy in person, but somehow looks much larger on screen once you're recording, well laid out and comfortable, clearly designed with podcasters in mind rather than being an afterthought to a music studio.

Accommodating and ease to arrange. But ultimately backed up with exceptional equipment - I also loved how flexible they were on our needs. Thanks S! Matt C
Not much. Some free nibbles maybe. 😅
