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.
Another shot of Thomas Dolby and his Nutmeg. Thanks again to BBC Suffolk for the picture.

The ususal screens that we all need for our music making these days.
Some of The Nutmegs outboard gear ("outboard", sounds boat like doesn't it).
Nord Lead 3 synth.
Access Virus TI Polar synth.
Ahoy there me synthys.
Footage of Thomas Dolbys studio.
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.

Jack Jospeh Puigs studio-impressive kit
I’d like to thank “unsung warrior” for solving the “You Tell Me” studio a month or so ago.
It apparently is a studio belonging to Jack Joseph Puig
Well done “Unsung Warrior” and thanks.

David Gilmores studio on a boat on the Thames
David Gilmores marvellous boat studio

If you have ever seen the series 3 men in a boat you may have seen this segment. A nice 5 minutes around David Gilmores lovely boat studio on the Thames. Wouldn’t it be nice as the Beach Boys would say.
Built in 1911 for Fred Karno, a famous music hall impresario who managed Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy, among others, the 90-foot long boat was designed to accommodate an entire 90-piece orchestra playing on it’s upper deck. (The cost, considered exorbitant at the time, was about 20,000 pounds ($32,000 U.S. dollars).

William Goode’s Journal – You Tell Me
Posted on January 3, 2012
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.
William Goode’s Journal – Trent Reznor

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.
