Corner House Studio

Professional Recording Studio In The Centre Of Cardiff

ABOUT US

Corner House Studio is a recording space situated in the middle of Cardiff only a 10 minute walk from Central Station. Corner House was founded by Andy Lewis and is run by him and Liam Ross. After meeting in 2015, Andy and Liam decided to combine their knowledge, skills and equipment to create this fun and cost effective facility that they could both work out of and promote as a commercial space. Corner House has a comfortable control room (10ft x 10ft) with a selection of outboard equipment as well as two very different sounding live spaces (downstairs- 14ft x 13 ft and upstairs- 12ft x 12 ft) thus offering a range of acoustic options.

Corner House has a spacious kitchen for preparing drinks and snacks and is a few minutes walk from a whole host of places to get coffee, lunch and dinner either on Penarth Road or in Cardiff Bay.

A day’s session at Corner House comes with Liam as a producer/engineer included for a 10 hour slot. Bookings can be made through the email or phone number in the CONTACT panel of this website. Prices are reasonably fixed but can be negotiated where longer sessions are being discussed. We also rent the studio out on an hourly basis- all aspects of the above can be tailored to fit your needs.

Andy and Liam also offer artist development, co-writing and arranging. With their shared experience in the music industry working for and with both major and independent record labels, they can give advice and guidance to you as an artist or band, finely tuned to your specific creative aspirations and goals.
