FEATURE STUDIO PROFILE
Cream, and The Who just a few of the musicians who have used this very unit. Wallace has also purchased
an API 500-6B six-slot lunchbox. “I thought ‘is it just a fad?’ but I tried some out and I think they’re absolutely stunning. The quality of the stuff that’s coming out for them is fantastic. I’ve got a stereo set of AEA RPQ500s, which are really built for ribbon mics, which I have quite a lot of, but they sound great on condensers.” Previous projects include mixing an album for Japanese band A Month of Sundays released through Rough Trade, The Prodigy recording drums with producer Neil McLellan, Spiritualized doing some work for their Lazer Guided Melodies album, The Fall, guitarist Albert Lee, Shane MacGowan & The Popes, Wishbone Ash, and Love and Rockets. Wallace remembers Liam Howlett of The Prodigy as a
fantastic drummer. “We were playing kit here but he was playing parts for some awesome roto-toms that he was going to loop up later on. And he had a fantastic turbocharged car that used to make a squealing, honking noise as it raced off. People were thrilled to hear this weird monster machine he was driving.” However some of his recollections are just bizarre. “Mark E Smith from The Fall woke up the whole studio at three in the morning; he was trying to open a tin of Spam by smashing it with his shoes, and the ex-Bauhaus band Love and Rockets set fire to the live room while trying to perform a witchcraft spell during recording.” Most recently, the studio has seen Grammy Award- winning producer Ken Nelson and Neville Staple from The Specials working on new projects.

“I wanted to get 32 inputs as opposed to my old
24 inputs. I’d heard that these Avid interfaces had a richer tone and they do sound much better, so everything that goes through them I’m very happy with.” Angus Wallace
