Sound View Studios is a bit of a hidden treasure!
Not only are they a very professional recording studio, they have great facilities for hire and are very friendly and helpful. I’ve held Life Coaching sessions in a wonderfully ambient and relaxing room there, home educators music sessions, and I’m also looking forward to holding Laughter Clubs there too! Great service. Highly recommended.

I have been recording at Soundview Studios for over a year now and not only is it a fabulous place to record and I feel very comfortable there, Carl is brilliant and gets my sound off to a T without any fuss whatsoever, he's also a genius guitarist which is very helpful too. Could not recommend Soundview Studios more !!! The rates are bloody good too and worth more than double in my opinion and look forward to recording more songs there.
Awesome studio!! Gigged hear and podcasted here! Love it!
Great studio.. friendly.. reliable equipment.. competitive rates.. well worth checking out. Nice one Carl.
I have used the studio on a number of occasions now and it’s a great facility,
Excellent value for money and very useful to have Carl on hand with his technical expertise,
To balance the equation with our time there we thought it was only fair to scoff all the free biscuits and goodies they put out,
Great place. You’d be a mug to go anywhere else.!

This is the best studio I have ever been to and its the best in stevenage if u ask me. Nice pepole u feel welcomed and u can have a laugh the owner is very down to earth not like any other studio i been to. ur first rehersal is free so anyone who plays should come check this cool place out trust you will use it again and again equipment is good as well!
Kim Archer (our gorgeous lead vocalist) and myself spent several hours with Carl at Sound View Studios on Jan 24th laying clean vox for several tracks for me to mix over the arrangements I had previously completed at my home facility.Firstly, I have to say that Carl is an absolute pleasure to work with. We very efficiently got to the results we were looking for without stress or any complications at all. So much so that we laid 19 tracks worth of lead vox in just over four hours!Secondly, the facilities at Sound View Studios are very comprehensive and professional yet still relaxed and accessible, so that a band can get stuff done while still having fun, which all goes towards a better recording and production experience in my book.Finally, regarding fees, we were very pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the rates are and at how accommodating Carl is. We will definitely be working with Carl again, in fact we are in the process of prepping the next bunch of material we will be recording at BB.Thanks Carl and keep up the excellent work!
