About Me...
Simon Allen is a full time sound engineer and record producer working both in studio and live. He is based at City Studios in Cyprus where he is heading up the new music studio which is part of a brand new studio complex. The complex contains 5 dubbing studios each running industry standard Pro Tools software, a video suit and of course the music studio. Please take a look at the City Studios pictures gallery for images of the music studio. The studio has a large control room looking through to the vocal/guitar booth and the live room on the right. The live room is 100m long with an impressively high ceiling. At the end of the live room there is a drum booth and producers lounge above. All rooms have been purpose built and designed for the very best in recording applications. The equipment is of the highest standard including an SSL console, Pro Tools HD3 and Telefunken, Neumann and DPA microphones. The studio is situated in southern Cyprus making it an attractive location for combined holidays and recording weeks. Fully air-conditioned and run by very experienced staff, City Studios are world class.
