BLENDING MASTERCLASS WITH ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS
In this issue, it’s time to step into the world’s most iconic studios for a behind-the-scenes experience accessible to everyone!
To begin, we’ll take you on a guided tour and history lesson of their five core studios – from the orchestral grandeur of Studio One; and the highly documented Fab-Four-fave, Studio Two; to their brand new studios.
After that, you’ll head to The Front Room studio for a session with Abbey Road in-house engineer Gordon Davidson (The Hobbit, Spectrum, Iron Man). Watch over his shoulder in an exclusive 90-minute video session and see how he uses both high-end hardware and software processing to take a piece of raw demo to polished masterpiece. Plus, you get the entire video, plus the “before” and “after” stems, only with that CM number!
