Mwnci Studio (pronounced “monkey”) is a beautiful residential studio set in the stunning Taf Valley in the heart of rural west Wales. A mid-size, residential facility with two on-site stone cottages each able to accommodate eight people, the studio welcomes artists from far and wide and encourages them to create, record and mix in what can easily be considered ‘a recording haven’.
Graeme Allen of Amati Studios told us, “The live space at Mwnci has to be heard to be believed! The studio comprises a 430 sq ft solid oak-floored, stone-walled live room, an additional vocal room and a spacious 323 sq ft control room. The control room has no parallel walls, plenty of natural light and centres around a Manley 16:2 valve mixer, a top class monitoring system from Adam and Mackie and some high-spec analogue processing gear from Empirical Labs (EL8 SX compressors) and Universal Audio (LA610 compressors). Microphones include Neumann, AKG, Royer and a valve Rode.
Owner and resident engineer Jethro Chaplin is the driving force behind the studio. With over 14 years’ experience in studios he is also a musician and registered composer and his work has been used for programs including The Gadget Show, House Doctor and Total Rugby.
Whatever your budget, Mwnci’s idyllic setting, spacious rooms, top end gear and stylish accommodation make this studio well worth checking out! Click here for contact details. (July 2010)
