Abbey Road Studios is bidding to attract “a whole new generation of artists” with a pair of new studios opening in London this week.
The Gatehouse and The Front Room aim to make the facilities and talent of the award-winning Abbey Road studio “accessible to all recording artists, from emerging songwriters and bands to established musicians”.
Featuring a multi-surface living space, The gatehouse (pictured above) offers a mix of classic analog gear and state-of-the-art digital audio workstation (DAW) integration.
This includes an AMS Neve 16 fader BCM10/2 Mk2 recording console, support for Pro Tools HDX2, Logix X and Abelton music production software and an external engine with UA, API, Neve, Chandlerand Bricasti audio equipment.
An ideal setup for small recordings and music production, The front room (pictured below) offers the same audio equipment setup as The gatehouse but has a 24 fader Duality delta SSL recording console.
The spaces are more affordable than Abbey Road’s legendary Studio One, Two and Three, and have been created by renovating and transforming the townhouse main room and Abbey Road garage.
“We are investing in our core business to ensure we maintain Abbey Road as a vibrant recording studio, with the two new studios designed to extend our appeal to a wide range of music makers.”

Abbey Road Studios has also recently added a new new mixing scene with Dolby Atmos Premier Studio certified.
The introduction of The Gatehouse and The Front Room means Abbey Road Studio’s recording facilities can accommodate everything from grand orchestral recordings to vocal overdubs, with studio rooms to suit every A&R and recording budget.
Isabel Garvey, Managing Director of Abbey Road Studios, said: “The opening of the new studios is one of the biggest events in Abbey Road Studios’ unique history. It shows our commitment to quality recording, the creative environment and our belief that combined with our award-winning expertise, we can attract a whole new generation of artists through our doors.
