Producer, engineer and mixer Al Groves talks about his route into the studio world, and how a penchant for taking risks led him to take over the lease at Liverpool’s The Motor Museum recording studio, which has shaped the careers of artists including The 1975, Oasis, The Arctic Monkeys and Jake Bugg. He reflects on working on a Bring Me The Horizon album in Santorini, the return of big guitar sounds, and explains why switching to Genelec monitors changed his workflow for good.
