Keynote Studios is quickly gaining a reputation for being one of the best recording facilities in the South due to its welcoming atmosphere and quality of service. Surrounded by a tranquil lakeside setting, the studio benefits from a rich array of hi-tech analogue/digital equipment at the experienced hands of studio manager/engineer Umair Chaudhry (Popular Workshop, Xmas Lights, Witches, Action And Action), studio engineer Joe Lawrence and front of house engineer Jim Warren (Radiohead, Peter Gabriel, Nine Inch Nails, Duran Duran).

The studio is capable of all types of recording with control room, 3 live rooms, isolation booth, vocal booth and chill out room. The studio is well equipped and caters for a wide range of musical genres. In the past we have worked with diverse artists such as The Race with producer Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild, Supergrass), Chris "Jungle Drummer" with MC Stamina and DJ Fu, and celebrity Dave Courtney for voice over work on behalf of 7Thirty Entertainment. We are featured in Future Music magazine and Drum and Bass Arena, as well as affiliation with Oxford's popular Nightshift magazine.

What makes Keynote Studios unique? The advance of modern technology has allowed many to produce good music at home. However some things remain impractical such as recording drums, for which the best sound is produced by using good quality microphones and acoustically treated rooms. A recording studio is a purpose built environment for recording and mixing sound. Where Keynote differs is that it allows a full band to be captured live, with full separation between the instruments. This is made possible by interconnected live rooms and vocal booths. Our 48 channel TL Audio Tube Mixing Desk is one of its kind, combined with digital interface technology provides the best of both worlds - warm analogue and harsh digital.
