- Mixing done solo by engineer and transferred for feedback from home
- Please note that Ten27 (the cafe next door) is now open so you can pick up tea/coffee contactless from them
Additionally, here are some of the steps we will be taking to mitigate COVID-19 spread:
- Door handles sanitised before and after each recording session
- Separate client (downstairs) and staff (upstairs) toilets
- Hand sanitiser provided
- Microphones and pop shields wiped/sanitised where possible between recordings
- Machine room auxiliary send to big room for artists to hear playback
Alert level 2 and 1:
- As above but up to 4 people in the control room, and we will relax on asking only those necessary to turn up.
