Abbey road studios have introduced a new online service that will help upcoming bands with the mastering process of their records.
The studios in west London are renowned for playing host to the recording processes of albums from classic bands such as Pink Floyd, the Beatles and more recently, Oasis.
New bands will be able to send their recordings to professional engineers at the studios who will then mix the tracks in mastering suits used by the very same artists to have previously worked there.
Alex Wharton, the Mastering Engineer at Abbey Road said: “It’s easy for new bands to undervalue the importance of quality mastering, but it really is the final stage of the recording process and getting it right makes a huge impact to the sound of your recordings.”
Wharton added: “We’re so excited to be able to offer this same level of quality to the young bands out there that could be the bands to watch in the future.”
Other more recent successful acts to have worked at Abbey road studios include the mercury music prize nominated Last Shadow Puppets, and Lightspeed Champion.
Abbey road is visited by tourists all year round who pay tribute to the recording studios, and is popular with Beatles fans who like to take photographs recreating the Beatles’ Abbey Road album sleeve which shows all four Beatles walking across a zebra crossing.
