Filming some video for Elliott Pritchard. Thanks to Nina Jones and Wayne Chudley. Looking forward to the edited videos.

Production for Elliott Pritchard.

Mu-Mu Audio are producing some tracks for the very talented Elliott Pritchard at the moment.



Analogue 24 track on its way!

We are going to take the plunge and install and calibrate a 24 track tape machine at the studio. We hope to use it to give that certain something to drum tracks and other projects that call for tape type lushness. Anyway give us a shout if you want to try it out.


Jonny Squid Rosebud album release.



Another great project we have been involved with.

Drums and co-production courtesy of Matthew Devenish, recorded by Mu-Mu Audio. If any Malvern friends would like vinyl or CD’s the great record store Carnival Records have some copies. Or of course online at Bandcamp.
Rosebud album on Bandcamp.


Linda Tolchard’s Christmas by Candlelight


Providing sound for Linda Tolchard’s Christmas by Candlelight. 4 speaker system with delays, radio mics. Resulting in pretty even coverage down the length of the church, one of the advantages of digital desks. @matthewdevenish19 @matthewdevenishmusic @lindatolchard @pauljones461 #soprano #christmassongs #livesound#livesoundengineer #yamahao1v96 #sennheiser #dpamicrophones#yamahaspeakers #greatsound

Recording Elizabeth Zeuthen Schneider and Gamal Khamis on violin and piano

Mu-Mu Audio had a great evening at Hellens Manor with the amazing Elizabeth Zeuthen Schneider and Gamal Khamis on violin and piano respectively. It was the first concert opportunity to use our artificial reverb system, Nebula. We are really pleased with the results as were the audience and musicians who were very complimentary. We also recorded the event with a combination of DPA spot microphones on the piano and a Soundfield on the Violin adding ambience. @matthewdevenish19 @matthewdevenishmusic @hellensmanor #classicalmusic#artificialreverberationsystem #soundengineer #soundfieldrecording#rmeaudio #fohnn #dpamicrophones #soundfield #steinway#gamalkhamis #Elizabethzeuthenshneider #livesoundrecording #mozart#witoldlutosławski #robertschumann #toraulin #johannesbrahms#logicpro #applemac
