Sofa Sound

"I've never got a better drum sound in my life." - Hugh Padgham

Sofa Sound Introduction

Sofa Sound is a top-end SSL recording studio in West London, run in partnership between Miloco and legendary producer, Hugh Padgham. It has a large, light control room and a fantastic live area including two additional booths. It is a much-loved tracking and mixing studio for many established producers and engineers.

Sofa Sound has become an increasingly popular studio for recording bands. Its excellent sounding live room perfectly caters to 5-piece groups, with a great collection of backline and microphones, some of which is subject to availability and upon request. It is a particularly good space for yielding amazing drum sounds - Hugh himself has said it ranks amongst the very best studios from around the world he has recorded drums in throughout his illustrious career.

A large and beautifully day-lit control room is centred around a fully automated SSL G+ console with 64 mono and 4 stereo channels, Quested monitors and a Pro Tools HD3 Accel rig with Apogee convertors, providing 32 inputs and 48 outputs. There is a brilliant collection of outboard too, highlighted by some rare Neve EQ's. A Studer 24-track 2" machine is on hand for all tape enthusiasts.

Enhancing the world class technical quality of the studio, there is of course air-conditioning, an abundance of daylight, 24 hour maintenance plus the use of a shared rec room consisting of a pool table, Sky TV, table football and kitchen. Clients also have access to a large roof terrace with stunning views across West London. The local amenities of Chiswick High Road, famed for its exceptional and broad choice of cuisine, are only a short walk away. You'll find that Sofa Sound is a West London recording studio hard to better.
