William Goode’s Journal – Thomas Dolby-Two
Posted on April 15, 2012
Hi folks I felt that one of my earlier “recording studio’s of the week” Thomas Dolbys, didn’t have enough pictures to get accross the interesting aspects of this unique little studio . So now I’m about to remedy this.
His studio if you read my earlier blog is built in an old boat , a converted 1930′s lifeboat that used to be named the SS Queen Ann.
For his recordings apparently Thomas uses a Millenia STT-1 channel strip and a PreSonus FireStudio rack-mounted, very good… (info thanks to Thomas Dolbys blog).
I’ve added many more pictures and video footage. It really is a great little studio and one that once again I envy.
Thomas Dolby and the Nutmeg - thank you BBC Suffolk for the picture.

This is a trailer for the online alternative reality game ‘A Map of the Floating City’ which is also the name of Thomas Dolby’s last album in 2011.
There, I hope that has given you a better appreciation of Thomas Dolby’s fab little studio. Long may he sail in her. Thanks once again to BBC Suffolk for a couple of these pictures and others variously obtained including from this site “Synthgear”. Much appreciated.

William Goode’s Journal – You Tell Me

This studio has a serious amount of gear
When I’m searching for my recording studio of the week I always try to show something that has interest either by the equipment in use, the environment or a well know musicians recording set up.
This picture I found on the web and what a set up he has. Unfortunately I don’t have a clue as to who he is so any help there would be appreciated. He certainly has gone beyond the simple home studio.
If you know him let me know.
Until then, marvel at his wares.

Anyone for a modular synth system or do you have a spare cable Trent?
Trent Reznor from the industrial rock band “Nine Inch Nails” has some mighty studio gear here. He has also been recording various soundtracks hence this amazing line up I guess.
