THE COTTAGE RESIDENTIAL MUSIC STUDIO located on Loch Fyne has been getting some great reviews recently and I would thoroughly recommend going to use it! Located on Ardganavan Croft on the shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll, The Cottage is a new purpose built residential music facility which offers a fully equipped music studio with a spacious live room, control room and vocal booth and an adjacent charming fully refurbished stone cottage accommodating up to 6 people.
The live room is equipped with all the gear musicians and bands would need for rehearsals and practice including full drum kit, 8 channel powered mixer, guitar amps, microphones and stands. There is also a 16-track digital recording unit that can be used for laying down tracks or recording demos. At the heart of the control room is a Soundcraft Ghost 24 track analogue mixing console.
Adjacent to the studio is the original croft house with wonderful views over Loch Fyne.
A 250-year-old stone cottage fully restored for modern living which features; central heating, fitted kitchen, bathroom with separate shower. With five single beds in two bedrooms and a
pull down double bed settee the cottage can sleep up 6 people. Original stonework and two
large open fires give the cottage a warm cosy atmosphere and make it is a great space to relax and unwind.
For the next few months Craig is doing a deal. Basically its £50 of the price of the stay plus a days tracking / recording with him as the engineer. Please quote ‘www.glasgowmusic.co.uk’ if you get in touch with him please. There is also scope for some free recording there too
