The stone room is legendary.
Walls of granite from Ibiza
Light from a reclaimed ship’s porthole
Tight low end, fast decay
Al records with R44 and R88 ribbon mics, and the results are jaw-dropping.

Not All Low-End Tips Are Created Equal
Most advice online is based on programmed drums and synth bass.
Live drums = inconsistent hits
Live bass = varying tone
👉 You need different tools to tame real low end.

A couple of years ago, I went into the studio with Robin to record drums for a song he wrote.

Some time later we released this song, named Blue, as a single for our band ‪Counting Wolves‬. It’s available on all streaming services if you want to check it out!
