We’ve just finished recording an album with Mike. He’s easy to work with and has a great sense of humour, and he’s also an excellent musician and a fantastic producer. We’ve loved every part of the process and would highly recommend!

I can't speak highly enough about Mike. He's a friendly and patient man and nothing is too much trouble for him. It was immediately obvious to us how experienced and skilled he is in his profession. Mike knows exactly how to bring out the best in people and was great at putting my dad at his ease and we are so pleased with the CD that Mike enabled my dad to create. The studio is also impressive - it's spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone looking for a friendly, expert producer! Liz and Bob

I went to NBR with my originals band 'Jays' to record drums and vocals. The studio itself is lovely, newly decorated and very clean.
Mike knows just what he is doing and compared to the many experiences I have with small studios, this was by far the best. He has quality gear and knows how to use it. We showed up at the agreed time and everything was set up. As soon as the drums were set, we started recording. He was incredibly accommodating to the needs of our working process.
Aside from his expertise, Mike is a great host; he looked after us well.

I went to North Brighton Recording to record a couple of rap/ hip-hop tracks which I had written. Mike is very knowledgeable and creative in his approach and helped me greatly in what was my first time in a recording studio. Mike was also very personable and a joy to work with. It's a professional set-up in a lovely location and I would highly recommend.

Working with Mike has been a great experience. From word go he has gone above and beyond to make the whole process of recording as easy and pleasent as possible. He listens carefully and works hard to make sure you get exactly what you want from your track. The studio is warm, quiet and comfortable and Mike is more than happy to make you a nice cup of tea. 10 out of 10! We are on our fourth track with Mike and there will be plenty more coming. Thanks Mike, keep up the great work.

I could not praise this place (& the experience) enough! Mike is a thoroughly nice chap, very understanding, very patient with top-notch technical skills that make any fix seem easy!
Studio is bright, modern and clean with great gear. Took my 8 year old son along with me to record a funny tune we'd been fooling around with and it's come out great and the price was very reasonable too for the great quality you get. 10/10! Great stuff, thanks Mike, we'll be back!

A great first experience recording vocal tracks with Mike to a pre-prepared original backing track. Mike was relaxed and it was easy to discuss with him about how to achieve our aim, which indeed we did; in large part due to his knowledge, experience and abilities. The studio is a very professional place to work, and I will be visiting again. I recommend NBR to anyone looking to work with a professional to enhance their recorded productions, and the tea was also good.

First class recording session with Mike. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the studio. Mikes attention to detail is fantastic. Along with positive input and and superb rapport. I felt Mike understood what I was asking for and would highly recommend him. The studio itself is a great space and I felt comfortable and so glad I went with the recommendation to record my music with himself. Thanks again Mike. Was a truly wonderful experience.

Great recording studios in North Brighton!
Mike is a kind, patient and extremely talented recording engineer and producer. He makes you feel very ‘at home’ in his studio and that’s when you can create a great vocal/instrumental performance.
I’m very happy to recommend Mike to friends and others and looking forward to putting out tracks that I’ve recorded. Thanks Mike!

He is an incredible sound engineer who brings a warmth of kindness. Mike applies his great depth of knowledge and experience to his high end, top spec equipment and therefore the sound quality of the recordings completed with Mike are insane! 100% will be back and I can't wait to get back in the studio.

Tucked away in the back of north Brighton is this hidden gem! I have been recording in the wonderful studio in North Brighton in 2016 with my band. Mike carried out first class production job on our album. He was helped out by some great gear in the studio which opened up even more creative possibilities both in the recording and production process. Mike is also a great keyboard player and added a whole new dimension to our sound. I can highly recommend him as an engineer and producer.
The studio space is big enough to really set up some good live sounds with the necessary separation required but small enough to keep it intimate and keep you connected to your fellow performers.
Thoroughly recommended!

Pier Recruitment has recently worked with Mike at North Brighton Recording and the service he has provided has been faultless. After agreeing to assist us with a (fairly large) charity venture, Mike has been outstanding and very flexible. From the initial emails sent right up to the completion of the recordings - nothing has been too much trouble for Mike and his professionalism and zest for what he does is refreshing.
We used the studios for a total of two and a half days and (fairly accidentally) took over Mike's kitchen, for the most part! The majority of participants who sang as part of the charity venture were complete novices, but Mike made everyone (whatever their ability) feel welcome and at ease. As a side note - there is also FREE parking around the site which is very rare in Brighton and is always a nice surprise!
We are looking forward to hearing the final track which Mike is mixing/mastering and have every confidence that it will turn out to be as fantastic as the service he provides! We would highly recommend Mike to anyone who needs to use his studio/expertise/creative flare. Thank you!!!

I hadn't been in a studio for ages, so I was quite nervous but Mike turned out to be an easy-going professional who created a relaxed atmosphere for recording. It's nice to work with someone who knows what he's doing. We were done fairly swiftly and he offered as much advice as I needed. Will definitely work with him again.

It was a pleasure to record my drums in a studio with windows..... a real rarity.... and not some dingy room in a basement. Mike made the session very relaxed and always aimed to record the best and most honest take possible. I would recommend him and his studio with hesitation.

North Brighton Recording gave enormous sensitivity and care to the development of our album Sense of Place.
Mike, the owner and resident engineer demonstrated all the technical skills to support the production and postproduction of the project. He captured an excellent balance of sound for our live recording which was in a resonant church and then demonstrated great skill of listening and musicianship in the adjustment and subtle enhancement of sound during post-production. We liked working with Mike because he is first and foremost a skilled musician who applies his understanding of sound to the technical challenges of studio recording. His calm and welcoming presence made everyone feel comfortable and free to be creative.
The studio is of a high quality with an excellent acoustic Yamaha piano that also has a midi interface. A selection of keyboards and guitars was also at hand. A wide range of professional plug-ins really helped to get the perfect mix. Absolutely recommend this studio as top notch.

If you’re reading this review you’re probably trying to decide which studio / producer to go with. I know I deliberated no end! It’s a huge decision. So I hope this review does justice to Mike Sandeman and his studio at North Brighton Recording. Just starting out as a new band (me as a songwriter with an incredible vocalist) we eventually took the plunge with Mike because of a number of really important things....for starters he has a fresh and unpretentious website we liked, he’s easy to find, not far off the A27, there’s plenty of free parking, his rates are great value, and the studio is modern, bright and airy. We also listened to some of his work on his website and thought the production quality was outstanding. Then there’s all the things you can’t know before you get there...and that’s where I hope this review will be really useful if you are trying to find the ‘right’ producer. We went and met Mike at his studio and immediately felt relaxed and comfortable with Mike....straight away you can tell you’re going to be in good hands. As a songwriter and first time record maker I was anxious about creative control, constantly asking questions, tweaking this and that, experimenting and in this respect Mike exceeded my hopes! He listened a lot to what we had achieved already and how we wanted to develop our music in making a record...he was sensitive to what we wanted to achieve and his production did amazing things to really bring out our sound, and now we have our first single! Mike has a great ability to tune into the needs and wants of artist and songwriters, finding ways of optimising the product without polluting the essential qualities of original songs. He’s a brilliant producer. I couldn’t be happier with our record and can’t recommend Mike and North Brighton Recording highly enough. We will definitely be making our next record with Mike!

Mike dealt with our band extremely well - three of the members have combined experience in recording studios running into many hundreds of hours and have seen the good the bad and the ugly. NBR are the good. Mike is always an attentive listener, but is happy to assert an opinion if prompted. The work ethic in the studio is top notch and leads to excellent productivity. Overall, we found the sessions fun, highly rewarding and obtained a great end result. In short, I have no hesitation in recommending NBR, especially to those with some vision of what they would like to achieve, but not sure how best to get there.

I’m not lying by saying that was one of the most enjoyable recording experiences I have had and I have been in many. Also the result sounds fantastic. I really enjoyed working with Mike too. It's also lovely to have natural light in a studio, you don't end up feeling hemmed in or get that studio head ache. I would recommend NBR to any artist, band of any level. This is a top notch recording studio and really good value. Mike is also a top engineer and top musician with it, very helpful from the start to the finish of the whole recording process. If your thinking of recording, go NBR, you will not be dissapointed. It's a fantastic place to record.

As a solo artist, the task was daunting - not only the idea of recording an album after years but also finding a studio with a friendly trustworthy sound engineer! My dreams were absolutely answered! When I went to check out NBR and met Mike and saw the top notch studio, it was a definite YES!! Mike is so, so friendly and was genuinely excited about making my album. I didn’t feel just like another client, he really tailored everything to me from discussing the whole process, the overall feel and the sound I was wanting and the final outcome.
From the very first recording session, everything felt so relaxed. I never felt rushed by Mike and really enjoyed each session and had fun! He was very encouraging and I trusted him so that if I wanted advice I knew he would always give his honest opinion. It really helps that Mike is a musician too and has previously recorded so can see things from both sides - his ears are excellent! Mike also Mastered my album and did a cracking job.
So whether you’re wanting to record as a solo artist, as a band or in any formation be it for an album, an EP or just for fun, I absolutely 100 percent highly recommend Mike and NBR

These points are made in part to give the reader reasons why YOU should use Mike Sandeman’s services, they are made in the context of myself a producer and song writer needing assistance with recording of backing vocals in a 3-4 hour time frame, so is limited, but i am confident Mike can assist YOU with production, song writing, session muscian work etc etc.
Hospitality -We were all made to feel welcome. I had only spoken to Mike couple of times on the phone, and only met Him on recording day but was made to feel like i had know him for years
Good sound engineer. I was overall very impressed at how Mike directed the overall tracking of BV’s, he has made life easy but doing comping on the fly, subsequently i have now gone through the vocals in my studio and with his initial approach on recording day has made my life easy with limited editing needed so i can go straight into the mix phase.
Went the extra mile. I initially contracted Mike to sound engineer, but for my money i got so much more, which included but not limited to assistance with communication and logistics with the backing vocalists and assistance and support of myself for production thoughts on the day of the recording session.
Cost Effective. Mikes costs are inexpensive i feel for the effort, technical ability, talent, infrastructure both hard and software and buildings and i will use his services in the near future.
