Record your songs with me in my...

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? A songwriter/performer/band of acoustic instruments & percussion?(Although I can record electric guitars & basses too.)

I can record your songs plus mixing & mastering in my purpose built studio here in the south of the Lakes. I use an Ear Trumpet Labs 'Myrtle' mic (other mics available such as Rhode NT1, Audio Technica AT2020 & Audix range) 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.

If you would like to work with me please get in touch with Mike for a chat... packages available to suit your budget!

Listen to Rachael Caine's song 'Thursday The 8th'

Recorded and produced by me in La'al Cabin Studio.

“ 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 our FOLKLORE using the Myrtle mic only! - 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.

I have a collection of quality studio mics such as Ear Trumpet Labs 'Myrtle', Rhode NT1, Audio Technica AT2020, Audix range and more if you would rather have a dedicated mic set up for your guitar or voice. Plus I can add extra instrumentation such as bass, fretted or fretless, tenor guitars, manolin family and many other percussion instruments if you'd like to add to your track such as cajon, tambourine, triangle and shaker. I'm set up with midi sounds if you'd like authentic, quality sampled drums added to your songs.

As part of the La'al Cabin experience I can add this instrumentation but we can chat about what may enhance your track(s) without distracting from your own sound.

Remote Sessions: Recording elsewhere but would still like my input? 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 your studio.
