Outstanding. Great studio, friendly and professional vibe, the equipment is top notch and the guys really know what they're doing. Recorded a single for my band 'The Steady Letters' in one day thanks to their speed and efficiency. Cant wait to go back. Plus- it's on a boat!

Being in the studio can be time pressured and restrictively self-conscious, Simon is a master producer, not just for his technical experience and skill, but his empathy with the artistic process, openness and willingness to support unconventional ideas as well as his sheer stamina - We’ve recorded 4 albums at Soup, we first arrived in 2014 and have never bothered to look elsewhere. Simon’s commitment to detail has helped us improve as players as well as recording artists. Sam has the musical instinct to set up the right dynamic /perfect sound in the room. He’s a perfectionist, with a hugely gifted ear. We we’re lucky enough to have him provide some sublime guitar solo on several tracks. He took on my impromptu suggestions with consummate grace, and made my thoughts audible with an effortless, subtle skill. We look forward to our next sessions.
Dave Holmes engineered and mixed my funk pop/rock album at Soup Studios. It was reassuring that Dave and Giles were responsive and helpful in our email exchanges before the session. On the day, Dave was keen to get us comfortable in the space from the offset and was sensitive to the sound we were going for. We recorded live with a singer in the adjoining booth over two days and were really productive thanks to Dave working fast. He chipped in with some choice ideas for overdubs and tweaks to song arrangements. He was also just lovely to hang out with in the studio. In the mixing stage, Dave turned our relatively rough and ready performances into a professional, punchy and sleek recording. He invited me to a couple of attended mixing sessions at his studio, but he did a lot of work on his own too. I felt from the beginning that Dave knew where we were coming from. I’ll definitely work with Dave and Soup Studios again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Superb sound engineer, great gear and brilliant rates.
Soup Studio is one of the most atmospheric, well organised and professional recording studios in the UK. I can't recommend Simon and Sam highly enough. They were patient, collaborative and a joy to be around for our two days at Soup. I don't think I'll go anywhere else. Worth every penny.
