ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Circle Studios is a high end commercial recording studio complex in the heart of Birmingham, England. Designed by the world renowned Northward Acoustics, the recording studio complex is defined by its contrasting ‘vibey’ high-ceilinged live rooms and acoustically flat control rooms.
Circle Recording Studios complex is home to not just one but five recording studios. Studio A boasts a large live room, hybrid API/Neve analogue console, ATC monitors, a range of microphones and outboard equipment (both vintage and modern). Studio B has a unique 18 tonne stone diffuser and a vibey live room lined entirely with polished maple. Studios C and D are post-production and writing rooms now available for long term let. Studio E is currently a white room with green, white and black screens but talk to us if you are interested in a long term let with a custom build out.
Since opening in 2009 Circle Recording Studios has worked with a host of artists across all genres from Bastille to Henry Rollins and The Enemy to Manowar in addition to working on music for film, TV and Games and recording a Grammy Winning album in 2015., If you are ready to take your music to the next level checkout our various studios, all with different equipment choices and at different price points, under the relevant tab.
HISTORY
The Circle Recording Studios complex is the brain child of our Chief Engineer, Trevor Gibson who, having worked in some of the best recording studios across the world, in 2008 had decided to bring a recording studio complex with world class studio environments to Birmingham, England.
After speaking to a number of acousticians and visiting a number of recording studios to listen to the acoustics created by their designs, he appointed Thomas Jouanjean of Northward Acoustics in Belgium as acoustician for the project.
Thomas’s designs envisaged that every room in the recording studio would be fully floating, included the world class FTB control room in Studio A, and would incorporate design characteristics such as high ceilings, a spacious sounding live room entirely lined with wood and a unique 18 tonne diffuser made of river washed stone boulders.
