SSR, the School of Sound Recording, have just announced that they will be opening a second campus, in celebration of their 30th anniversary. The new facility is based in Camden, North London, in an old piano factory on Gloucester Crescent. SSR London will open this coming January, and promises to be a state‑of‑the‑art facility. The main studio will house a Neve Legend VR60, a Studer multitrack tape recorder and “a plethora of vintage microphones and outboard”. Other facilities include a 5.1 surround‑sound suite based around an Avid Icon controller, a “Soundcraft studio” (the mixer model isn’t given), a Mac‑based suite and a foley recording studio.
SSR London will be providing a wide range of audio courses, including certified courses in Pro Tools and Logic. And as a special treat, they’ll be hosting a series of special events and free masterclasses in January. For more information, check out the SSR web site.
