Toby May

"I have been working out of Metway since 2001 after graduating from Brighton University with a degree in Music & Visual Practice. I was hired by Levellers as a tea boy/tape op and learned the sound engineering trade from the ground up. Alongside my studio work, I am also a busy session drummer and college lecturer.

Metway is my first choice when choosing studios because the live room and console sound wonderful. The day lit control room and Dynaudio M4's make Metway possibly the best monitoring spaces I've been in."

Matthew Twaites

"I started working at Metway in 2008, beginning as a studio assistant and progressing to engineer. My first experiences of Metway was as a musician, doing Metway sessions in 1999 and 2000, and then recording albums with The Electric Soft Parade and Restlesslist.

I've always loved the atmosphere here, and found it be very conducive to a creative working vibe both as a recording artist and now as a established engineer."

Jake Rousham

"20 years in the industry has given me experience in a wide range of genres and techniques. As well as my studio engineering and production work, I have a successful career composing music for broadcast.

Metway has a great atmosphere and all the space and equipment to get really good results. The spacious control room is very comfortable and you can listen safe in the knowledge that what is coming out of the speakers is completely true to what is going on in the mix."

Al Scott

In a career spanning three decades he has produced 5 gold albums & 12 top 20 singles. He still breaks new artistic ground and garners plaudits from musicians and industry alike.
