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

In the US, likely SkyWalker Sound (Wow you'd have to see to believe), Das Boot (James Guthrie's studio) and possibly Bob Ludwig's studio (though I've not been there, I've heard great things). Lookout Sound studio in Montana has invested heavily in getting great sound also.

In the UK, there is no studio that cares about great sound and gets it more than Astoria (David Gilmour's). Real World (Gabriel) is very lavish but their goals do not include ultimate fidelity. Mark Knopfler has put huge sums of money into building a state of the art studio in London.
