James Taylor Quartet

We had good fun working with Jim, he was empathic and intuitive and able to find solutions very quickly. He has good taste in outboard gear too. He was able to easily adapt to our sound world and be versatile when mastering. Above all he got really good sounds up, quickly, this enabled us to crack on with lots of energy, it was a nice place to make a record. James http://www.jamestaylorquartet.co.uk … Read more

Working with Jim is brilliant. He’s always on the same wavelength as me immediately – even when i’m asking how best to mic up a bowl of Rice Krispies for that perfect snap, crackle and pop. It’s always a laugh. It’s never boring. It’s never horrible. We all work very hard in there but Jim works the hardest. He does everything he can to get the perfect sound, and the Vlks stuff … Read more

Photo by Sara Norling In terms of studios, Ranscombe sets the bar for me, not just because of Jim’s expertise and the equipment, but also because of its ambiance.  I believe it’s an atmosphere that cannot be bought, designed, or installed … it’s a quality that only occurs after years on the job, through love and lived-in hard graft, and the result is the type of welcoming warmth, akin to that of … Read more
