and myspace band The Biscuits put down some new tunes with Russell.



Producer/Engineer Andrew Beck has now completed installing his rig into the Red
Stairs room and has been hosting a bunch of budget mastering jobs as well as
editing, mixing and voice overs.

John Brownrigg recently produced a collabaration between himself and guitarist
extraordinaire Luke Koteras titled 'Acousticappella' which was mixed by Russell
and Mastered by Andrew while Paul Scott

Mastering



William Bowden's state of the art room remains as popular as ever with a host of
projects including the new Upload One album, Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers, Ian
Rilen's Posthumus album, Richard in your Mind, The Cronics, TJ Eckleberg





The Red Stairs Room has undergone a complete rewire and facelift with Kristian
Hill departing to Europe for the rest of the year and Andrew Beck taking over .

The room is now more dedicated to budget mastering and features a small analog
chain of DBX, Neve, Apogee, Valley People, RNC and more.

All the previous functionallity of the room has been maintained as well so it
can still happily handle voice overs, transfers, editing, compiling, overdubbing
and even mixing (in the box) if required.
