welcome…

Saltwell Studio opened in May 2017 and is a purpose-built recording studio run by me, producer/engineer/musician Chris Pepper. The studio is located in the Cambridgeshire village of Leighton Bromswold, just outside of Huntingdon. The rooms are acoustically designed, comfortable and have plenty of natural light.

The control room is based around a selection of fantastic sounding microphone preamps, world class AD and DA conversion from Universal Audio and incredible ATC monitor speakers.

The studio can accommodate bands who wish to record live and has been acoustically designed and treated to provide a beautifully natural and balanced sound. Moveable screens can be used creatively to alter the sound of a recording as well as provide a good degree of isolation when recording multiple musicians.

Recording - I accommodate all musicians, from solo performers to bands, making use of the beautiful sounding room and back-line available, which includes vintage Ludwig drums, an A.B Chase baby grand piano and much more…

Mixing - As well as projects that I’ve recorded in the studio I’m also able to mix music that has been recorded at homes or other studios. This can be done remotely, which means that wherever you are in the world, we can work together.

Production - A producer will assist with song selection, arrangements, structure, keys and tempos. They’ll encourage musicians/singers through performances, select takes, oversee the mix and generally help keep a project on track, on time and in budget. Sometimes, the role of producer is also to be a musician within the process of “building” the tracks. A producer will also have musician contacts they can call upon to either bring in to the studio or have record parts remotely to contribute to the process. As a producer I have had experience working in all of these roles.
