SkyLab Studio is at the heart of Manchester’s music scene. It is the centre piece of Ambience Productions - where all the music is mixed, be it in mono, stereo, 5.1 to 9.1 surround - where all the video footage is assembled, captured, edited and compiled. DVD authoring, using Motion, Flash, FinalCut Pro and AfterEffects, all combine to create the total solution.

Music and visual projects come together, seamlessly. Working with our sister production company Toasted Productions clients like Global Gathering and MTV using our edit suites and audio post production studios return year in, year out.

Other clients regularly use SkyLab for recording, programming and mastering. SkyLab Studio’s control room is seriously ‘flat’, the choice of monitoring has been made with music, media content and surround sound mixing at its forefront. Check out the specification page for full details of our systems.

SkyLab’s mobile recording facilities compliment the studio’s modular structure, allowing live recordings of a performance to be made where it sounds natural and at it’s best. Ambience Productions use of The Bridgewater Hall, Ordsall Old Hall, Manchester Cathedral, The Lowry Theatre, The Parc and Dare Theatre, Astley Old Hall and Salisbury Cathedral for recordings of real music and real performance gives the music something that even the best studios cannot. Most projects now involve the recording of musicians in their own environment, capturing the performance in a most special way. Of course all this would be wasted if the equipment used to record it was not at the leading edge, and if the Sound Engineer did not have the experience to capture the moment in its full glory. No problems where SkyLab Studios and Ambience Productions are concerned. Over 20 years in the business brings unprecedented experience to the table, and this coupled with the ability to combine the best analogue equipment with todays, and tomorrows, digital systems at one’s finger tips means only one thing - success.

Corporate clients also enjoy this level of experience and specification. Companies like Thomson Prometric and Kingspan demand the highest levels of accuracy and competence, and SkyLab delivers this time and time again.
