Engineers
Three people, three rooms they love most, one shared rule: the song decides.
CH 01 / Live Room
Founder, recording engineer
Marnie opened Talkback in 2009 after ten years assisting in London. She tracks bands live and keeps a drawer of snare drums she will not lend to anyone.
Selected creditsHollow Signal, Isla Brannock, Sable Choir
CH 02 / Control A
Mix and mastering engineer
Anselm mixes on the desk and prints to half-inch tape when the song asks for it. He writes recall notes so neat that bands frame them.
Selected creditsThe Quiet Arcade, Copper Lung, Juniper Vale
CH 03 / The Booth
Producer, vocal sessions
Ama produces singers. She runs the booth, comps vocals faster than anyone we know and keeps a box of lyric sheets from every session.
Selected creditsOdile Marrs, Kit Mendez, Fen and Fable
