Default Exile Studios Vs Captain Toms

Wanting to know what your thoughts are on the two places? Doyou have any recommendations?

We have recorded demos at captain toms before, but now we are gonna spend a few bob on a proper recording... and we are trying to find the best place to record...

So what do you think?

I'd go with Tom's. If you know how you're wanting to sound, Paul can do an excellent recording. It's a more professional set-up and more reliable.

I prefer toms as it seems a better enviroment and tom is a cool guy and will help with what you need !

and as it has been the said the equipment has always been good to me well except the few bass skin splits but that is entirely my fault .....

TOMS ALL THE WAY !

I'm not sure. Black Atom's "Like Disco Never Happened" was done at Toms and was poor quality imo, then "Out Of Exile" was done at Exile and is vastly better. I've recorded three times at Tom's and it's not bad.

If you're willing to spend a few bob then go see Niall at the Mill Studios in Crathes. More spendy than Tom's or Exile obviously, but far better. Great studio.

yep I'd go for the Mill every time, I don't really rate Tom's I know of engineers who won't record there because they don't rate it at all, don't know about Exile at all.

Cheers

I've only ever recorded at Exile but Mark did a really good job of our demo even though he wasnt the friendliest guy in the world, but do you want a new friend or a good recording?
