History
When Peter Gabriel had finished the album So, he decided it was time to move from Ashcombe House to a permanent recording facility. The most important thing about the location for Gabriel was to be close to water. Gabriel, David Stallbaumer and Mike Large looked at several sites - usually old mills - in the Bath area. The Real World site had the size and space they wanted, a river and was situated in a beautiful part of the world, accessible from London with the city of Bath less than 8 miles (13 km) away.
Description
The studio's 2000sqft Big Room houses an SSL 9000K XL mixing console, with additional outboard equipment surrounding the room. The Big Room is, unusually for a recording studio, designed to be one big collaborative recording space, without dividing walls and also houses two isolation booths. Adjoining the Big Room is the Wood Room. This room features a more lively acoustic and a booth, mezzanine floor and movable acoustic screens. The rooms can be booked together for a larger recording space, or independently for smaller or more budget-friendly projects.
The Big Room was later equipped to accommodate re-recording mixing for film and television projects. With a foley stage and ADR room, Real World Studios has been host to film and TV projects including Quantum of Solace, The Golden Compass, Green Zone and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. The complex also houses a large rehearsal room, a foley studio, surround-sound 7.1 mixing studio with dubbing facilities, kitchen/dining room (with an on-site chef) and accommodation including a production cottage.
