I disagree with the premise of the original post. To a large extent a specific studio is irrelevant to getting a good sounding recording. Pretty much any reasonably equipped studio can produce a great sounding recording. Actually, you don't even need a studio -- great sounding records can be produced in people's living rooms -- Shelby Lynne comes to mind. The key to a great sounding recording is not the equipment or facility, but the people using the equipment. It's their technical skill and artistic vision that is the key determinants.
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
