Foundry Music Labs has opened its doors in Motherwell, Glasgow as a project devised by Wet Wet Wet guitarist Grame Duffin and sound engineers Sandy Jones and Ted Blakeway. The 'Lab' is a converted 5000 square-foot warehouse containing two rehearsal rooms, a recording studio and a training facility.
'The Foundry Music Lab is a hard working professional evironment where the end result is as important to us as it is to the client,' said Jones.
FML's rehearsal rooms are well isolated with full air conditioning and natural daylight and employ a PA of Tannoy V-Series loudspeakers with Soundcraft mixer. Multicores link from the rehearsal rooms to the main control room, which is equipped with Digidesign Pro Tools HD2, Yamaha O2R96 V2, plus a variety of outboard and mics. Monitoring is through Tannoy Precision 8D actives. The studio will be an integral part of the education programme, offering students 'real environment, work experience on site.
'Apart from the quality of a recording, it will be important to demonstrate to students during training sessions the need for absolute accuracy in a mix,' said Ted Blakeway. 'We all really liked the natural, clean sound and great intelligibility that Tannoy's Dual Concentric driver design delivers.'-Tannoy
