BLS is operated from a compact yet highly capable project studio, consisting of a control room and recording booth (all soundproofed and acoustically treated). The studio is ideal for vocal recording and instrumental overdubs, with drum kit or ensemble recording sessions carried out in a larger nearby venue using a comprehensive 24-track location recording rig. The resulting multi-tracks can then be transferred to the studio for further overdubs, editing and mixing.
Below are some pictures from the studio itself:
