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 engineer, producer and mixer Marta Sologni you’ll immerse yourself in each of the stages of recording, mixing and mastering in our world-class facilities.
Marta Salogni is a Grammy nominated and Mercury Prize winning engineer, producer and mixer working from her own studio ‘Zona’, in London. Artists she’s worked with include Depeche Mode, Bjork, Sampha, M.I.A, Bon Iver, Black Midi, Ela Minus, Animal Collective, Squid, Daniel Avery and Philip Selway. 2024 Mercury Prize winning album ‘This Could Be Texas’ by the band English Teacher was produced and mixed by Marta. In recent years she has been awarded ‘Producer of the Year’ at the Italian edition of Billboard Women in Music, ‘Breakthrough Engineer of the Year’, ‘Breakthrough Producer of the Year’ and Music Producers Guild UK ‘Producer of the Year’ at the MPG Awards. Marta is involved in the contemporary music scene playing both composed and improvised live sets using tape machines. She also funded and runs a charity called ‘Free Youth Orchestra’, which focuses on removing financial barriers between children and access to musical equipment, by providing instruments and free workshops run by local musicians.
Across the four days, you’ll spend time between the two studios. Days one and two will be spent at Angel Studios in ‘Angel One’, 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 Marta Salogni in Abbey Road’s Studio Three, home to iconic recordings by Amy Winehouse, Pink Floyd, Brockhampton and Anderson Paak. On Day Four you will be back at Angel Studios in the Dolby ATMOS suite where Marta will mix in Dolby ATMOS and the track will be mastered.
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 behind the scenes at Abbey Road and Angel Studios, which have previously been unseen by the public.
