Kit List

The most important thing about a great recording, is a great song. The second most important thing, is a great engineer to make you sound fabulous, and the third most important thing is great equipment which we have.

Mutant Lab Studio offers up to 24 simultaneous channels of high quality recording using Metric Halo hardware and your tracks can have a near unlimited number of simultaneous playback channels.

We’ve got loads of mics by Shure, AKG, Audio Technica, Avantone, Beyerdynamic, SE and EV and if there is anything specific you want, just contact us and we can hire it in.

We use Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools and the mighty Maschine for our main sequencers. Plus numerous other really useful programs such as Wave Editor for the highest quality sample rate and bit depth conversion and Izotope RX for truly amazing sound restoration and noise removal.

We also have many effect plugins and software instruments from Sony Oxford, PSP Audio, Celemony, Camel Audio, Native Instruments, Toontrack, G-force Media, Steven Slate, Roger Nichols Digital plus loads more... We buy ALL our software and it's fully authorised and up to date, so it works!

All this running on a Dual core 17” MacBook Pro with numerous LaCie Hard drives and a dinky little mouse.

And you get to hear all of this through KRK or Avantone monitors or headphones by Beyerdynamic, Audio Technica, Sony or AKG.

What our clients say

Having recorded at various studios in and around Southampton I can honestly say none come close to Mutant Lab Studio. My time spent working with Mike produced a quality of recording that far surpassed my expectation and went down well with my record label. For any future recordings I will be going back to Mutant Lab Studio without a doubt.

Gordon - AGONY SOUL TRADER

Mike brings a wealth of knowledge and "feel" to the recording process - when our tracks come up on my Ipod the acoustic quality of the recordings stands out from the crowd...

Rick - 2CAMEBY

We loved working with Mike. He understood right away what we wanted and gave us the professional sound we were looking for. We cannot recommend Mutant Lab Studio's enough and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Tony - DENDERA

Mutant lab is great for live recording but also particularly programming music. I would recommend it to anyone. The in house producer Mike is also very helpful when it comes to trying to getting the best possible takes and therefore the most out of you, making the recording as good as possible.

Tony Amarilla

An excellent, prompt & personal service. Would highly recommend to anyone. Went over and above the call of duty by not just mastering but also providing advice, and even making amends to some of my sounds (all of which sounded better following the Mutants 'midas touch!')

Paul Crognale

We got on well with Mike and he cares about the finished product as much as we did, so much so he spent extra time to mix the track to perfection.

Daniel - WELCOME PARIAH

Easy going, friendly service. No hassle and flexible to what we need. Got all the kit we need to make a good noise.
