“Making a seamless record, where every note and syllable is in place and every bass drum beat is identical, is no trick. Any idiot can do it. I prefer to work on records that aspire to greater things, like originality, personality and enthusiasm.” — Steve Albini

James's Blog
Massive thank you to James and Third Circle Recordings! My band just recorded our latest single here, and it couldn’t have been any better!! James took the time to ensure that it sounded great throughout. We feel we genuinely couldn’t have got a better sound anywhere and highly highly reccomend Third Circle Recordings to everyone.
I know a good sound when I hear it, and Third Circle Recordings has got what it takes! I have worked in some of the most legendary recording studios in the world including: Conny Planks in Cologne – Abbey Road – The Power Station in New York – Studio One in Kingston and Polar Studio in Stockholm, but I have to say that Third Circle Recordings is beyond a shadow of a doubt … one of them.
This guy knows what he’s doing. He is great at reading what the situation needs and reacting to it – overdubbing, mixing, editing… He understands you have to go that extra mile to get something worth listening to. Just dont try to work with him when I’m desperate for his time!!!
Great studio with awesome equipment. James is easy to work with and gave our album an excellent mix that we’re proud of. The rehearsal rooms are well equipped, I would definitely recommend to bands out there – best studio in Brighton area.
Definitely the place to go to to get “that” drum sound! Great selection of the mics, great sounding live room, James is relaxed and professional, if you’re a band looking to record I can’t recommend Third Circle enough.
I don’t think any band, of any level, could ask for a better sound engineer to record with than James. Even if you’re not quite sure what to sound like, he’ll sort it out. And even if you do, he’ll probably sort that out too. Fantastic sounding building/live room, great amps, excellent mic techniques and set up, and that sofa’s well comfy too, god damn. Run by a top dude, mix architect and purveyor of thicc tones – GO HERE, you will not be let down!
