Glasgow's Analogue Recording Studio

The Green Door Studio is a recording studio situated in the heart of Glasgow's west end. We offer both Analogue and Digital recording, post production, editing and mastering. We offer excellent rates for recording and mixing with no compromise in studio equipment or experience. As a community interest company, we also offer free workshops in music development, studio recording and production to local musicians.

Ethos

The recording studio was set up in late 2007 by three musicians who, from their own experience and that of others, felt a great number of recording environs were often overly clinical in both sound and practice.
They wanted to create a unique recording facility that would be more flexible in its approach, embracing both old school techniques, such as full band live recording straight to tape, with the emphasis on feel and performance (and not being afraid to record 'dirty') alongside contemporary studio multi-tracking techniques, digital recording, editing and programming.
