Faithless returned to Russia after a 4 year hiatus to perform for the 1st time with a full orchestra. We received the multi-track recordings which includes famous hits such as Insomnia, God is a DJ, Mass Destruction, I Want More and We Come 1 and created the final mix for the 5.1 DVD release, “Faithless Live in Moscow”. Sister Bliss from the band attended many of the mixing sessions and was delighted with the results.
Bill Bailey's 'Tinselworm' was the inaugural 5.1 project mixed in our newest studio (Studio 2) and this was quickly followed by a 5.1 mix for Australian musician, actor, comedian and writer Tim Minchin for his latest DVD release, “So F**king Rock Live”. We also created the stereo mix for international television broadcast.
(Be warned...the Tim Minchin DVD contains very strong language and is not for the easily offended!)

Prior to the live event held in Liverpool on 6th November, Trevor Nelson visited our studios to voice a series of nomination inserts for the main show. We then created the final mix and dub of the finished inserts to a tight deadline including the intro video for Paul McCartney who picked up the ultimate legend prize.

Nadine joins fellow band members Kimberley and Cheryl in our ever growing guest book (they visited us back in August 2007). We just need a visit from Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts to complete our Girls Aloud collection!
As always, Nadine received 100% star treatment and enjoyed her time at Music 4 Studios.
Enrique Inglesias made a return visit to Music 4 to promote his new “Greatest Hits” album due for release November 17th. Enrique undertook several ISDN interviews to regional radio stations as well as face-to-face interviews. Both Enrique and his entourage had fun on our Nintendo Wii afterwards!
Actress and singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) also came into the studios this week to promote her newly released album “Breakout”. Miley Cyrus has been nominated for Best New Act at the forthcoming MTV Europe Music Awards on November 6th (co-incidentally, we recently mixed nomination packages for this MTV show, news to follow shortly). She has our vote! Unfortunately though, we didn't manage to grab a picture for our guest gallery. Maybe next time!
We were also delighted to welcome back Brit Award winner Adele for her third visit to promote her new single “Make You Feel My Love”. Adele performed a number of songs from her number 1 platinum selling album “19”. We set our vocal booth up to accommodate Adele on vocals alongside her guitarist and pianist.
After mixing the tracks on our fab SSL mixing console, we then continued with ISDN and face-to-face interviews in conjunction with delivering the recorded tracks to various radio stations. We were delighted to receive great feedback from the record company and radio stations for the overall sound and mix on her tracks and we look forward to recording more performances here at Berners Street.

Our engineers (and studios) are unique in the fact they are equally at home working on TV mixes/dubs and mixing and mastering music to world class standards, so when both skills are required, Music 4 Studios is the perfect choice!
We received multitrack recordings of each and every performance and mixed these first. We then also created the final mix and dub of the finished TV shows on a very tight deadline.
The 2008 festival, featuring My Bloody Valentine, Amy Winehouse, Underworld, Aphex Twin, CSS, and Hot Chip, was a weekend of eclectic music, eccentric people and plenty of fancy dress, set in the grounds of Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight.
Bestival has been held annually in the late summer since 2004. The event is organized by BBC Radio 1’s Rob da Bank, who handpicks the line-up so fans can watch anything from international superstars to the complete unknown. Over 400 live acts, DJs and comedians perform over the weekend spread over eight tents and stages.
Jonathan Ross was recently voted 'the most powerful man in broadcasting' and twice voted best radio personality of the year but more importantly, he was a big fan of our biscuits! (See his photo in our Guest Gallery).
