About Us
Crooks Hall Studio is based near Haverhill on the Suffolk/Essex border. Everything about Crooks Hall has been designed from the start to give the best possible results in a comfortable and relaxing space. The studio rooms have fantastic acoustics, plenty of natural light and comfy sofas in the the control room to relax. The studio is surrounded by beautiful Suffolk countryside with a peaceful atmosphere to make the processing as comfortable as possible. In the studio itself, we have focussed on the most important parts of the studio and spared no expenses in getting it right. The live room is an wonderful space, offering fantastic drum sounds and a really elegant acoustic signature. The console is state of the art with a clean, high quality signal path with plenty of warmth and character to offer if desired. The Unity Audio/Genelec monitoring is excellent and all the microphones are hand selected to provide a broad spectrum of the best for every application imaginable. |
