To kick start our #AbbeyRoadEqualise week, we’re thrilled to be sharing our first Equalise studio session which we ran at the end of last year in Studio Three with Warner artist Hamzaa, Platoon’s Kali Claire, producer Melle Brown and musician, Cynesha Brown.

These sessions have been created with the intention of inspiring and encouraging more young womxn into production and engineering. The mini-documentary reveals insights into their working habits; from how they begin a recording session, their creative processes and their tips and tricks, to the struggles they’ve faced and had to overcome due to being a female artist, musician or producer.

Any budding composers listen up! Next Saturday we will be running our Music for Film masterclass, brought presented by Spitfire Audio’s brilliant in-house composer, Homay Schmitz! Homay will guide you through writing a film cue using the Abbey Road One sample library. Learn about how to set up your session to score for picture, working to a brief, and how to begin writing the cue itself.

This year marks 20 years since the release of The National's self-titled debut album. In celebration of the anniversary, the band have released a reissue of the record, alongside reissues of two more pieces of their early catalogue, 2003's ‘Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers’ and 2004's ‘Cherry Tree’ EP. The collection has been remastered at Abbey Road by our own Christian Wright, which “helps make these much-loved records sound as vital as ever”.
