Snap Studios - Take a tour around a top London studio

[@Nick92zs]

I love how he slaps everything he describes.

[@YouSureToldMe]

you should see him when he talks about his wife

[@marklholloway]

Should be called Slap Studio 😁

[@ruthlesscutthroat4030]

was about to note the same thing, lol

[@eleanorzissou]

Always nice to watch someone who's so passionate about his job. Lovely.

[@setheltonsmusic]

I don't usually post comments but i think you all need to calm down a bit. I've worked with Marco at Snap and it is a great studio, run by a great team, with amazing gear all over the place. No need to knock it.

[@ruthlesscutthroat4030]

i was looking for the negative comments, there are none. are you sure people are knocking it?

[@waterwoodguitars6871]

Looks like a comfy place to track! Love the vibe, the availability of classic gear, that beautiful Neve desk, the whole thing. Great work, keep it up. Always nice to see my generation doing big things.

[@FlockofAngels]

Superb space and sound system! 🎶👍

[@DEADLINETV]

Amazing studio! The pride and enthusiasm bounces of my screen! I like it!

[@conquerruler4034]

If I still lived in London I would go to your studio to record, I am building my own home recording studio, your studio is like my dream. I've watched this vid countless times and I hope the best for you guys and your studio, maybe I'll come one day.

[@brunomaiamusic]

Congrats! Amazing studio. When you mention a guitar signal is the same when run metres of wall core from the live room until it finally reaches the amp in that booth, it is magic, though. The whole facility is fascinating, and well developed. Inspiring!

[@IslandDigital]

Very impressive. First, I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go to the UK, now I want to go and record in this studio ! I love the layout and great vibe ... All the best from Orlando FL USA

[@MJ-tg6wb]

Beautiful Bösendorfer! Those take 4-6 years from order date to produce a custom piano! Great studio!! Cheers!

[@Njabuloseh]

Love the studio man! That Neve console and Bosondorfer piano ❤❤❤

[@mattiemclean9882]

I subscribed to this channel this morning and have to say the content is really good. I've been around a bit in recording and production and these vids are a great watch

[@Bishopoflyons1217]

Snap you are so organize with your studio. Very beautiful studio. Keep you the good work Snap.

[@akabeats6176]

Keep British recording studio on the world map. If people take time and appreciate what uk got... i'm sure we are blessed. Best food and music in uk✌️

[@mattiemclean9882]

MIDI in the kitchen? I'm sold!

[@mikedixon8830]

I'll be watching this more than a few times... thanks for this.

[@TheRealNewBlackMusic]

does our heart good to see a real studio with tape machines in this world of little toy protools macbooks with plugins. It's hard to see how you make enough money to keep going with record companies cutting budgets and all of the do it yourselfers around. Good luck to you guys. Peace.

[@cadjano]

The monitors and the outboard gear 👍

[@ricemilk3185]

Great warm place. Id love to record here one day

[@SteveCournane]

Amazing gear, looks like a great place to record

[@f.nf.n7689]

I loved youre focusrite liquid channel testning episode so much that I have 3 of them! Thank you 🥰

[@martincain8450]

yooo dat room with the synths even. soo nice

[@Inigobalboa]

WOW, a dream studio...

[@HelioVicenteRibeiro]

Fantastic studio! Congratulations from Portugal. Have a nice dream in your life project. Hélio

[@atonstudio7926]

it is funny how you hit all the gear while showing lol

[@tgrtgrtgrtgrtgr]

This place is beatifull.

[@TamaDrummerPro]

Would love to record drums in there! awesome studio!

[@Salantsoundstudios]

Beautiful place guys!

[@Filix125]

Seems like a very cool space..

[@gregbillhill]

"MIDI In the Kitchen." Sounds like potential for an insane party.

[@nojubilees]

I'd love to record MIDI whilst watching my microwavable meal cook. What a brilliant and practical studio. Love it guys :)

[@nojubilees]

*

[@anthonymeade6097]

When you say record midi while your microwave meal cooks, do you mean the pitch variance of your Chicken Korma or Some like Inspiration watching it jump and splutter?

[@nojubilees]

***** It's OK, no offence caused. it's just that on youtube you get some right keyboard warriors. I thought I'd stamp it out before anything happened he he. No problems though mate :)

[@nojubilees]

Anthony Meade Bang on with the jump and splutter ;) I think it's just a great idea to record some gentle pad sounds whilst that Korma is nuked :)

[@teddymartyn1092]

raise up the emt plates in case the drains flood, notice manhole covers right next to them

[@dominikneubert702]

beautiful Studio! Top Gear! nearly perfect, BUT THE FLOOR CREAKS!

[@davym5565]

nice studio, careful with handling the mics though....( wince)

[@claudiowiesflecker413]

Great studio!

[@bugamail]

I want to record midi in the kitchen!

[@terryfarrelly6071]

That poor RCA BX 44 and that U47 I should think the ribbon was quivering with fright and the valve held on for dear life when rough handled like that. I fired an engineer who did less to our U67's

[@JanAidGuitars]

A nice studio there!!!!

[@ratnadeepkar8380]

how do u carry the audio single of condenser mic from the performance room ( d room where u have the grand piano ) to the main control room for editing ? please tell .. my doubt is that the control room has a glass window which allows you to see the performance room but how the audio signals from the performance room taken to the control room ?

[@KaiDune]

patchbay. they have it on the walls. u plug it in, it goes out the other side.

[@DubzCo]

Khairul Nizam I think Rapnadeem need to go back to the beginners manual, the simple aswer is (a cable)...need any help bro just ask,...as u are doing,...but maybe on a video for setting up a studio. (or was u being really clever and referring to the Cat5 setups compared to analogue cabling +Ratnadeep Kar ?

[@phanoonki]

Science doesn't' really know, there's a theory that the signal gets attracted to hard glass surfaces and can process through to the desk. No-one knows how this happens. It's as good as magic. I've herd of a thing called patch bays and tie lines, and also Cat6 ethernet, but that stuff is all just voodoo science same category as levitation. People can speculate, but it doesn't really exist.

[@DubzCo]

lmao bro,...I hope that isnt in your mission statement as a recording studio cuz you aint gettin too far with tht view on patchbays and ethernet lol

[@DubzCo]

although my comments in the comments section are jokey jokey I think this guy is great an the passion he has too...and from the idea ov building the 'best' in budget studios and comming up with that!.. I commend you greatly! :)

[@teddymartyn1092]

stop hitting the gear ! and slapping those old mics out! ah no!

[@gavinvonmeyer3746]

True dat. Handle like, well, like priceless, stunning apparatus.

[@tc8387]

I was saying that in my head from the beginning lol

[@Stickmasterrr]

I actually watched the whole thing twice! Great place... I hope i'll have the chance to pay a visit and share a few words with you guys some day. :)

[@MaghoxFr]

Old school is the way to go...in everything.

[@horstlemke9591]

Do you still exist in this form as a studio? Unfortunately, I didn't find anything online anymore, or did I google incorrectly? Best regards, Horst Lemke, music producer, Germany

[@RecordProduction]

Website still live: www.snapstudios.co.uk

[@Kineticartist]

excellent tour amazing studio!

[@mache3984]

This is beyond ridiculous. Oh my goodness. I hope to have something like this one day.

[@underpressureman]

this studio is lit!!!

[@MJ-tg6wb]

What pro artists have you recorded here? Any albums we have heard?

[@davidjonathan3854]

very very nice, I must say!

[@3CNBprod]

Lovely studio ! Big ups !

[@sjdnw]

WooWWWW looks fantastic ....!! Neve !!

[@GingerDrums]

Motown bass was almost entirely DI straight into the desk, not a cab in a small room.

[@meexme]

I want to record MIDI in the kitchen...but while your assistant is cooking italian pasta! It will improve the sound won't it? lol ;)

[@98JamesNixon]

Yes you have a nieve!

[@DubzCo]

why does he have to 'slap' every piece of gear he shows us

[@DubzCo]

lol

[@phanoonki]

maybe a name change to "slap" studios is in order?!

[@hifijohn]

I was just going to make that comment, I hope he doesnt treat his girlfriend this way!

[@DubzCo]

I actually do treat my missis tht way,..just not my equipment man! (lol JOKE ALERT b4 I get womens rights ppl all over my ass)

[@DubzCo]

Dubz Co actually not a lot of women would even be watching this I guess

[@Anon-xn1rg]

Why do their near fields have the bass woofer away from center?

[@AaronOwenSmith]

3 way speaker

[@DerVampyrEngel]

Interesting, what MIDI equipment have you got then?

[@voborny]

This setup is ridiculously awesome. Please, teach me your ways! I'm converting a box truck into a mobile recording studio and with such limited space it's a challenge to produce top quality sound. But I'm going to make it happen no matter what. Watch me do it 🤘🤘🤘 Oh and thanks for the dope vid btw

[@TimKaseyMythHealer]

My reaction... I said wow about 4 times.

[@TrochezCovers]

i love the gear and all, great mic pres, then in the mix, you fill all your nice recordings with autotune and crap. nice

[@puciohenzap891]

Massive Augspurger/Westlake and Tannoy Gold monitors, yep, good studio.

[@atonstudio7926]

wonderful studio! actually it is not true that "long cables" can cause latency. you would have a latency of only 1,5 sek if you stretch a cable 2x around the world

[@silvercrowflysilver1662]

И почём час записи?)

[@THEO-jd9xr]

i recommend some LED strips to make it more chilled

[@thamanimusictarakea2747]

super studio

[@boyjammeh6130]

Y some people don't want to c better things. This place is cool n nice .

[@laurencepavittlondonunited6543]

Cool studio

[@JeffreyMiddelveld]

Loved it!

[@tobybaker7968]

Hey Marco!! See you soon for a piano day.

[@VortechBand]

Gosh, am I happy that technology has advanced to the point where all that can be replaced with a powerful laptop and one rack interface.

[@RecordProduction]

So that laptop replaces the rooms, acoustics, ambience, monitoring etc?

[@VortechBand]

And allows for making music anywhere, at any time with almost zero ramp-up time. And with demos sounding almost production-quality.

[@wchurchill419]

This is what will look like when I die and go 2 hell 😋...I'd fkin kill for a studio as fat a this. Beautiful!

[@arbautimusic]

Places like this use to be £800 12 years ago.

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

Fire alarm call points in unusual places!

[@GingerDrums]

Motown bass was recorded straight into the desk.

[@Fat_Nun]

I wanna book time just to record midi in the kitchen

[@oscarmartinezgonzalez26]

Los equipos se tratan con cariño y no asi como hace el que le pega hahaha

[@dopemcee]

you get all of that for just 500 pounds..thats crazy cheap. i was expecting much more.

[@jonsubs9998]

Sounds good. Sell me your Fairchild 670 for $100, yes?

[@Zenvo-uu9tm]

Man, they usually don't wave a vintage ribbon like a baseball bat

[@classicgamers4521]

Zack knight record this studio ya rang laya

[@карлчэпек]

Where are the fire extinguishers?

[@gavinvonmeyer3746]

I thought heaven was a place in the sky somewhere. Never imagined it would be in a place called England.

[@jonathanmosher72]

If you wanna see a ridiculous studio look at Blackbird in Nashville. They have over 40 Neumann U-47's. It's just ridiculous

[@eamonnmorris5331]

"I'm sure you all know what this is"??? This guy is a born teacher ...

[@MN008]

I love Mr. Bean's Studio!!!

[@ahmtTyln]

do you own the place? I mean the idea of building a budget studio has changed a little bit :D it seems pretty far away from budget. how cool is that.

[@phonicsilk7728]

Snap makes sense for a studio name... Guy's voice is the most sibilant I've ever heard

[@ManishForGood]

You talk in Gary Barlow accent.

[@alexgarcia6891]

friend! not hit the equipment, please (smile)

[@yancrazy]

amazing studio, talented engineers...but they couldnt put a de-esser on his mic feed for this video....fuck me

[@ogsamosa]

Yan Lamberti They probably did. That is Marco's natural speech, it was probably a lot worse before it was processed. It didn't come across as harsh or anything in the video, I think they did a pretty good job editing it. When you edit speech the idea is to try and make it sound natural, like they are actually in front of you speaking to you, and, IMO, the audio in this video did that.

[@richardvancleaf469]

fairchild 670 street price $12000. waves plugin $49. less then .5% of the price. could the real thing be 99.5% better? i do love the plugin for drum buss though. no experience with the actual hardware.

[@macman3175]

Be careful with that amazing gear! You are slapping it around whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??

[@MattMacD]

i wish he would stop hitting all the gear!

[@gtndrums3689]

+Matt MacD Should've called it SLAP studios !

[@gtndrums3689]

+Matt MacD Should've called it SLAP studios !

[@allprogear]

Why in the world would they have an Otari MX80 with a Neve.That's the worst sounding 2 inch 24 trk ever made.A MCI JH2424 or a Studer 827 would be much more in order to match up with the Neve desk and Focusrite modules.

[@earlludwig3614]

too rough on the gear! cringe!

[@ericberger6966]

Video of nice a recording studio with no good sound, not nice.

[@fadedoutt]

they have a lot of spaces to record in... a lot of dirty spaces

[@toraimanchester4658]

for all that bragging about high end gear the man has no respect for it

[@DerVampyrEngel]

Thought so, had a look at your website not exactly that great is it? OK you may have a load of outboard gear and you might be OK with acoustic and electric instruments but your synth and MIDI stuff is crap. My shitty home studio could beat that and I know its crap as need a few more keyboards (got 3 Yamaha DJX's, an Arbitier 102XD electronic Drum Kit and a Yamaha DD55C) and hardware MIDI guitar unit (got software SuperEel2 , plus got hardware Superego synth pedal ) plus about 300 VST synths but at £450. per day and thats your MIDI synth setup? No way , typical London rip off over expensive studios, nice building though

[@joohop]

***** yamaha DJX mines still goin strong love it !

[@DerVampyrEngel]

***** Yeah I have 3 love them too joohop got to get one properly fixed but yeah love too :) had mines at least 8 years now

[@joohop]

had mine over 10 so im better than you !

[@DerVampyrEngel]

***** Doubt it still bit lucky ain't ya?

[@joohop]

mo fo focusrite failed on me !

[@smagques4503]

Lol yours suck don't even have a studer A-27 or pre amps or a-27 tapes

[@YouSureToldMe]

go away nerd

[@thehowlingterror]

Annoying bloke....Hope the clients aren't there when using his studio and hope they kick that leslie speaker...because he forgot to.
