“Cool setting and homely feel. Recorded here couple of times, Hamish is a true wizard on the desk and nailed the sound every time. Can't wait to get back in there! :)”
— Stuart Gentleman, Sea Bass Kid/ Tryptych & Flo / Stevie Creed / Audio Gentleman
“I Highly recommend Sound Sound Studios. Its a nice wee cottage and Hamish is a superb producer with a ton of patience, mad skills and some serious dedication. Recording there was a fun, relaxed, creative environment and we were able to be at our best there. Just generally pleased we decided to use Sound Sound really :D”
— Lepus Timidus, Tryptamines (Fit Like Records, worldwide Independent Music Award winner)

***** Stars in fact “
— Mike Anderson, Riot Radio Records
“I felt very comfortable working with Hamish. He totally understood my sound and what I wanted to create. He was able to take suggestions and create his own ideas to enhance the music even further. Nothing was a bother and I was very pleased with the outcome.”
— Clare Cairns
“Highly recommend Sound Sound Studios. Loved the idyllic setting and Hamish is a dream to work with. We will be back!”

— Stevie Creed
“I needed to record some poems from my new collection Wristwatch (published by Cinnamon Press under my pen name Jay WhIttaker), and I chose Sound Sound because it had a whole information page for spoken word.
I'd never been in a recording studio before, but Hamish set me ease, I dropped into my performance mindset, and I'm delighted with the result.
I'd recommend Sound Sound to any Spoken Word performers / poets looking for professional quality audio recording of their work.”
— Clare Whittaker
“Hamish is great to work with and very open and knowledgeable as a producer/engineer. The studio is very comfortable and it is a good place to get things done.”
— Callum Easter (Lost Map Records, Young Fathers touring band member)
“I’ve worked with engineers who were clearly just going through the motions for my hard earned cash. Not Hamish - he works with you, not for you, pushing you that little bit more to get the best out of you; there is a huge difference and the result is the lush sounds he helped us create. It’s a pleasure, not a chore when working with him. “
— Steven Healy, Firewall
“I commissioned Hamish to create an album length composition as a gift for my girlfriend. The resulting piece was perfect - atmospheric, danceable, and exactly what we wanted, even though the instructions I gave him were pretty vague - sexy and banging with a big introduction. He was able to take the brief and run with it, and made ‘our song’ personal and evocative.”
— ICAM
“Sound Sound are fantastic to work with. They have provided professional sound recording and sound conversion services for us on a diverse range of projects for corporate clients. Specifically the sound engineering they provided on the Turnberry website and kiosk were exceptional.”
— Charlie Cutler, Managing Director, Weather Digital
“Recording at Sound Sound with Hamish was the first time I'd experienced recording live, in a professional setting and it was a complete joy. The space feels you are escaping reality and entering a new dimension... which was exactly what we were looking for. Hamish's attention to detail and relaxed attitude was the perfect energetic combination to make us feel at ease and like the essence of our sound was really being heard. I will definitely be returning again in the future. Legend. “
— Alana Stirrat, Triptych & Flo
“Relaxed, High Quality, Affordable
When i first went to Sound Sound to record with Hamish i hadn't been rapping that long, not only did he produce a high quality finished product, he really helped me be a better artist with his advice and input during our recording sessions. This is why i keep coming back, the studio always feels comfortable to work in and the cottage itself with its artwork is a relaxed place all round, would definitely recommend to any artist wanting to record at an affordable price and still have the quality your songs deserve.”
— Lee Wilson, Archie Webbs
“Managed to put up with us for 2 weeks, stay sane and help us make an album. Nice setting, easy access from town. Easy to work with, knowledgeable at his craft.”
— William Robertson, Disposable
“My favourite place to record! Great quality, great knowledge and always get the finished article I wanted! Top equipment and relaxed atmosphere... Thanks again Hamish for helping with this number which is now available in all good stores ;)hahaha na but seriously Hamish ( Sound Sound) produced a song for me which is now selling all over the globe!!”
— Andy Borthwick, Darklight
“We took our first album "Life & Lessons To Be Learned" to be mixed by Sound Sound and from that moment on we had no hesitation where to go with our future recordings! We found not only a mixer/ producer of our work but a friend and collaborator who really bought into what we were trying to do. With a wealth of knowledge and experience at very reasonable rates the whole process was almost as much fun as recording it. We will hopefully be able to use the studio in future to make some recordings and continue our association with Sound Sound.”
— Colin Adams
“Friendly staff, flexible with time and procedures, and personal attention when it comes to "weird" stuff in rock bands, like synthy sounds, samples, fx and the like.
Hamish took good care of us, especially in recording the drums and bass for my band, The Tide Inside, even though it took ages. Never a frown.
Totally advised!”
— Mario Picuet Devendrabanjaarl, The Tide Inside (Perdonare Records)
“Really nice place, great quality tracks and Hamish is a champion”
— Scott Rough, Logan’s Close
“I was super impressed with Hamish and the studio. The service was brilliant and the end result fantastic. I will definitely use the studio again and can highly recommend it.”
— Blair Christie, Raised Voices
“A great wee studio with a dedicated, professional, flexible and competent sound engineer”
— John McInally Jnr, RioFender
"It was an absolute pleasure recording with Hamish at Sound Sound. He was incredibly helpful and even managed to sort out a live Skype session with the director of the audiobook I was working on - all the way from Los Angeles! The atmosphere in the studio is very relaxed but also very professional - making it the ideal environment for any and all recording needs. I would HIGHLY recommend Sound Sound to absolutely everyone! Thanks again. “
- Allan Scott-Douglas, Random House Audiobook
“I’ve worked with Hamish on two projects and his commitment to creating high quality material is awesome. He has a great work ethic, I’d recommend him to anyone and I will certainly work with him again in future. He’s also very affordable.”
— Nash the rapper
“Hamish created a soundtrack for our Edinburgh Fringe Festival show, “Some Explicit Polaroids” by contemporary British writer, Mark Ravenhill. The play was a compact hour and a half long and moved swiftly from scene to scene without pause. Alternately, we found ourselves in a living room, a street, a nightclub and finally, a morgue. Hamish’s soundtrack helped to create a strong sense of atmosphere across the various scenes, balancing the need for atmosphere with a soundbed that enhanced rather than drowning out the action. His remixes of superbly chosen pop classics punctuated the scenes and for me, provided the icing on the cake of a cracking Fringe show.”
— Claire Wood, Head of Planning Leith Assembly Rooms
“The mixes that Hamish puts together for our team is exactly what we ask for and more. The sound effects are great and links from 1 section to the other are smooth. We all love his mixes.”
— Kirsty Smith, Steps Dance School
“Hamish just took control of the sound and you knew it would be perfect. He was responsive to the musicians and flexible in circumstances which were not always perfect. He is thoroughly reliable, pleasant and professional.”
— Mae Shaw, Event Organiser/Performer of Folk concerts and Portobello Book Festival Variety night
“Have worked with Hamish on several projects, including solo acoustic bass recording and band song recordings, which is a testament to how pleased I’ve been with the results! Final products have always been spot on!”
— Jim Strange
“Professional/talented tailored service would highly recommend”
— Elliott Egerton, Bang On (Big Dada Records)
