BEST RECORDING STUDIO


Out of interest, what do you AUDIOGONERS consider to be the best quality recording studios out there, there respective labels, and an example of their recording.

Now Abbey Road are a legendary studio, but I would be surprised if anyone would say they make the best recordings.

I personally think it is worth setting out why you think they make the best recordings.

Please note that some may think it's all about natural realism, and others special effects. Don't be shy as to why you like the studio.

Also do say if their labels etc make vinyl, cd etc...

I look forward to your posts

Without being venue-specific, Keith Johnson's work with Reference Recordings, and Kavi Alexander's Water Lily Acoustics stand out.

For venues, the large room at the original Columbia facilities in NYC, and David Gilmour's Britannica studios.
Samuel - Thanks. I don't know what I was thinkin' with "Britannica" The houseboat is Astoria. I typed it while at the library, so maybe I was thinking about encyclopedias.

I have to agree about Skywalker Ranch. I interviewed for a job there in the early '90s and the tour blew me away. I couldn't take the job because although the pay was good, I could not afford to live in or anywhere near San Rafael.
