Windmill Lane Studio Tour
We made our way to Windmill Lane today and took a tour of this famous studio. Windmill Lane was the studio where U2 recorded “Boy” and many other Grammy Award winning songs. The Rolling Stones rented all three studios at Windmill Lane for 6 months when they recorded “Voodoo Lounge”. The list of artists that have recorded here are incredible including very recently Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, P!nk, Hozier, and many more.
The tour took us through Studio 1 which is large enough to host an orchestra. It uses a completely analog board setup for 2-channel mixing. It is the classical look of a recording studio. It was fun to be in “in the room” where so many amazing recordings happened.
The tour also showed Studio 3, which is completely digital and setup for 5-channel mixing for various video mixes. Very modern and much smaller with the brains of it all being a Mac Studio with a digital mixing desk.
This was a really cool experience.
