Our clients keep coming back . . .

"The quality of the tracks I'm sending out to potential clients is much better than before and we seem to be having a bumper crop of new bookings on the strength of it. It was very reassuring to have a recording engineer who fully understands how to record a band "live" and many of our clients appreciate the fact that the tracks were recorded with an absolute minimum of overdubbing. It was a great experience recording in such pleasant surroundings, made even better by the friendly and stress free atmosphere".
Robert Stevens,
Mad Hatter Band

"Technically second to none."

"Michael's ears pick up things that usually go unnoticed until the dub, where the BBC mixer rates his work as technically some of the best he gets. The quality of Michael's equipment and his knowledge and understanding of how to use it is matched by an excellent live room."
Nicholas Hooper
Composer for Harry Potter films TV dramas, wildlife documentaries and BAFTA winner

"Working with Michael at 'Hats Off' was great fun. It combined the technology of any urban studio with the peace and tranquillity of the Cotswold countryside. A few minutes of fresh air cleared your head between recordings . . .
. . . Hats Off Studios is like home from home. With a heavy post-production schedule, it's great to feel you are working in a relaxed atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble."
Karen Bass
BBC producer 'Andes To Amazon'

"An A1 engineer whose skill is matched by his artistic judgement."

service, an ideal place to bring corporate clients."

"As a developing artist on a tight budget I require more than just excellent recording facilities at the right price. Michael brings sensitivity and a subtle blend of creative input and useful feedback to my projects. Add to the mix a warm atmosphere and you have the perfect recipe for successful recordings."
