Song Production Masterclass

Be part of an exclusive recording session

Want to learn what it’s like to produce a song from start to finish inside a professional recording studio?  Experience this for yourself in two of London’s most respected and famous studios, Abbey Road Studios in St John’s Wood and Angel Studios in Islington. Our ‘Song Production Masterclass’ is a 4-day experience that will take you through the entire recording process. 

Led by the superbly talented, Grammy award-winning mix engineer and record producer Ben Baptie, you’ll immerse yourself in each of the stages of recording, mixing and mastering in our world-class facilities.

Ben began his career assisting renowned mix engineer Tom Elmhirst, working first in London and later at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York. After four years with Tom, Ben went freelance, and in his first year worked with artists such as Mark Ronson, U2, and Lianne La Havas.

In 2016, Ben returned to London and began working primarily out of Strongroom Studio 1, where he mixed records for Lady Gaga, Jamie T, Rex Orange County, Daughter and others.

In 2020, he established his own studio, Piano Sing. The space is centered around a Neve Genesys console and an extensive collection of choice analogue gear. He also has a B studio which is dedicated to Dolby Atmos mixing. In this time Ben has maintained close relationships with artists such as Little Simz, Radiohead, Michael Kiwanuka, The Strokes, Cleo Sol, Moses Sumney, Young Fathers, Sault, Lily Allen, Chronixx, Beabadoobee and many more.

Across the four days, you’ll spend time between the two studios. Days one and two will be spent at the legendary Studio 2 at Abbey Road, where you’ll observe all the different stages of recording a song, from microphone selection, live room set-up, tracking and recording management. 

Day three will be spent mixing down the track with Ben Baptie in Angel One at Angel Studios in Islington.  On Day Four you will be back in Angel One, where Ben will complete the mix and then Master the track with Conor Dalton.

We’ll end the masterclass with a review and reflection on the four days to wrap up the session. You’ll leave with insights and an understanding of the processes and considerations of sessions at Abbey Road and Angel Studios, which have previously been unseen by the public.
