The Pool - 'To Be or Not To Be ?'
"It has an exceptional collection of vintage and modern esoteric equipment, and I feel lucky to have used the space as it is like a musical playroom - full of great instruments, effects, toys and percussion too" - Paul Epworth (Producer)
The Pool is our sensational, groundbreaking tracking studio based in the main Miloco complex in SE1. The studio was rebuilt in the summer of 2009 and is now completely revitalized, offering clients more choice, versatility and a whole new way of working.
The Pool now features a brand new control room which rises above the studio's vast live space. The control room has been designed to maximise space and therefore not encroach too much on the Pool's live space. It is filled with producer Ben Hillier's immense collection of vintage analogue gear, including a rare EMT console and stacks of outboard and microphones. Now engineers and producers can take advantage of Ben's equipment and The Pool's incredible tracking space from behind closed doors. However the studio's new versatile design allows for the control room gear to be relocated and set up in the live room, meaning extreme open recording can continue as it did before.
The live room has been completely refurbished, and now features a large drum booth at the far end, again rising above the ground level. We have added brand new lighting, made numerous acoustic enhancements and have relocated the entrance. It is now a beautifully presented, expansive and daylit tracking space which bands, producers and engineers will love recording in. Welcome to London's greatest reinvented world class tracking room...
