La’al Cabin Studio
(La'al [Larl] - meaning small, little, petite, bijou in Cumbrian dialect)
Are you an acoustic artist? Maybe in a duo or trio, or more? A songwriter/performer/band of acoustic instruments & percussion?(Although I can record electric guitars & basses too.)
I can record your songs plus mixing & basic mastering in my purpose built studio here in the south of the Lakes. I use a Myrtle mic for that authentic sound favoured by folk, roots and bluegrass players.
So I can capture your unique performance in one go or I can do overdubs as you build your song.

Listen to Rachael Caine's song 'Thursday The 8th'
Recorded and produced by me in La'al Cabin Studio.
Review:
“ I wholeheartedly recommend Mike and the Laal Cabin Music Studio. My daughter’s competition prize was a free recording session, and the result has exceeded all expectations.”
“Mike is a skilled and trusted professional artist, musician, and producer. His guidance and creativity have brought Rachael’s song to life, and I look forward to its release with great excitement. Thank you”
I recorded the whole of FOLKLORE using the Myrtle mic - instruments, percussion and vocals. I produced, edited & mixed the tracks before handing them over to Andris Kiss to master - although I can master your songs if required.

I have other studio mics if you would rather have a dedicated mic set up - Audio Technica, Rode, Audix plus standards SM57 & SM58. Plus I have many other percussion instruments if you'd like to add to your track such as cajon, tambourine, shakers, triangle & guiro.
As part of the La'al Cabin experience I can add instrumentation in the form of guitars, mandolin, mandola, tenor banjo and bass (fretted or fretless) if required. We can chat about what may enhance your track(s) without detracting from your own sound.
Session: I can record guitar, bass, mandolin, mandola, banjo & shruti drone parts remotely in my home studio for your own project and send them to you. Or, I can come to you or the studio of your choice, depending on location.

2026 pricing...
It's not always easy to price recording as so much depends on your project, ability, time and inevitable glitches!
As a general guide allow 25/hour recording time, mixing 50/song, adding instruments &/or production 50/song, mastering 25/song.
Example (with added layers of instrumentation): Max 2 hours to record 1 song, production, mixing and mastering, 175/song. (The bonus here is added layers of instrumentation in the price rather than standard session musician fees you might get elsewhere).
*note that any extra time required would be 25/hour added to the price.
Any requests to record multiple songs, EPs or Albums can be discussed prior to booking.
