STUDIO
Owen works out of his private recording studio in Staffordshire, West Midlands, UK, located just north of Birmingham with easy access via the M6 and train links. Designed by Wise Owl Acoustics and built from the ground up, the studio offers a relaxed and creative atmosphere to work in. The control room features natural light, with air conditioning and a fresh air system throughout, striking the perfect balance between comfort and sonic precision.
The studio is based around a Pro Tools Ultimate system paired with a 24 channel Audient ASP8024 console, seamlessly combining the ease of digital recording with an array of analogue outboard equipment and microphones. The studio is filled with instruments, guitar amps, pedals and sonic toys to inspire creativity and ensure every record has its own unique sonic character.
