“Aubitt studios has that rare combination of total professionalism coupled with a relaxed, stress-free environment where you can just get on with with the job at hand. With Rob Aubrey at the helm, you know you are always in safe hands. His calm manner and expert knowledge helps create interesting, successful music and all without breaking the bank.”
Matt Crossey - Working Class Records
"I'm very picky when it comes to the sound of my drums. I've spent countless hours experimenting with different heads and tunings looking for the perfect drum sound. When you've spent so long making your drums sound good live the last thing you want is an engineer who just shoves whatever mics he has left on your kit wherever he can fit them. Rob is as passionate about engineering and recording as I am about drumming. Having spent most of his life working towards getting the best sound possible I know I can always trust him to make my drums sound their best. "
Joe Crabtree - Drummer
"Great Sounds, Great Price, Great insults"
Deano the Saxman
"Without a doubt, Rob's mixes are the most professional sounding of any recordings I have done in 20 years of working in the industry. My first choice everytime"
Jason Knight
"I've always enjoyed working with you at AUBITT: a happy, comfortable environment. You always find a great sound for my cello and tracking them up is invariably without problems.
Your intuative understanding of what I need in terms of cues and drop-ins etc. includes a rare appreciation of my musical lexicon (ie complete filth) . I'm looking forward to my next visit."
Hugh McDowell
"Pendragon always chooses to work with Rob Aubrey, cos we ain't got no frikkin choice. Rob works with the uttmost diligence and application and is an utter utter utter pain in the arse. He is a cheerful member of the crew who always arrives at work with a grumpy look on his face and is second to none when it comes to winding people up.
In conclusion we couldn't work with anyone but Rob, because on long boring tour journeys we so desperately need someone to bait"
Nick Barrett - Pendragon
"Without Rob There would not have been either kerbside or wills and the willing his guidance and skill have been a constant source of honesty and intergity aubuitt studiio is a wealth of creativity and calm."
Ian Wills - Kerbside Wills and the Willing
I have a good studio set up at home. I have pro-tools, good quality gear, good mics, even a good recording room. But I keep coming back to Rob. No matter how much time I spend on it, the recordings I make at home sound like... recordings made at home. When I work with Rob it becomes professional. He has an incredible ear and an amazing ability to hear the detail that everyone misses. He gets the basics right which means the track will be in tune and everything will be in time. Then Rob helps with a good combination of humour, sarcasm and bruutal honesty to get the best out of me. The sessions are much more focused and the results in a different league to my own home made recordings...
Andy Matheson
"I have had the chance to record at Aubitt Studio's many times over the years and I can honestly say that it is a great place to record. Rob really knows what he is doing, has great gear ( he's always buying more :)), has a great ear, and gets amazing results. I have also had the pleasure to tour with Rob many times. Rob is the Front of House engineer for my band Spock's Beard and I would recommend him for any size gig. Everything I said about him in the studio goes equally for him at a live gig. I have seen him jump into the worst of situations ( a console without enough inputs, broken things, general messed up stuff ) and the band/ audience never knows. He makes it work and that is what counts. As you can probably tell I have much respect for Mr. Aubrey. Using him on the road or using his studio you can't go wrong."
Nick D'Virgilio - NDV
"I love Rob! It's very unusual for someone to be both a great live sound engineer and a great studio engineer, but Rob's one of those guys.
He instinctively knows what works and what doesn't work either on stage or on a recorded track, he's very well versed in the most modern digital technology and makes his work seem effortless.
He's done a fantastic job for us on a couple of the Spock's Beard live CDs as well as our live DVD, and we'll be utilising Rob's talents for as long into the future as he can put up with us."
Dave Meros - Spock's Beard
"Rob Aubrey is one of the best mixing guys I've ever worked with. Besides making great choices and having really good sonic taste, he's a lot of fun as well, which is very important when you are cooped up together working on a project for a long period of time."
Neal Morse - Transatlantic and Spock's Beard
“We have engaged the services of Rob Aubrey for many years in the production of audio tapes and CDs played on airport transfers to all our incoming and departing overseas clients. The service is always friendly, efficient, flexible and professional ensuring first class productions. We would thoroughly recommend him and anticipate a long and mutually rewarding cooperation”
Tourwise of London Ltd.
"An expert in the Prog field, Rob is one of the premier guys you want to be recording with"
Tony Levin
You would think listening was a basic requirement in the music industry, not so. But, Rob [Aubrey] is different. He takes a genuine interest in understanding what you are trying to accomplish before the project begins. At planning stage he quickly became a valuable member of our team. Rob was able to co-ordinate various media situations; including external DVD filming, studio voice over’s and even media professionals when ours let us down! The results exceeded our expectations”
Anthony Haikney - TransOcean Distribution
"Rob, i have only fond memories of or time together with John Wetton! You always kept the ship on course, despite the technical handicaps and occasional Taifuns! Short painless soundchecks but big sounds everywhere we played! I am very excited to be involved with "Pulse" and I can't wait to be back out on the road together!"
Thomas Lang
“Rob’s advice on all aspects of the project was invaluable.”
“Rob’s flexibility allowed the project to be completed on time – and on budget!”
“In the old days you used Rob’s studio because you thought you oughter. So now he’s not only had your cash, he’s probably had your daughter….”
Rufus Stone
“We use Rob Aubrey to record and master our sample CD’s because we know we will get excellent results for a reasonable price”.
Ark Music
Incredibly fast worker, Rob is at the top of his game and nothing seems to faze him, no idea is too crazy.... You used to have to go to London for this kind of production/sound. I've used Aubitt for all kinds of different musical styles and never been less than 100% satisfied with the results Rob really cares about his output, he's a complete team player Great vibes! An Aladdin's Cave of constantly evolving studio equipment with Rob as the Genie in the bottle! Your wish is his command!! Immediately puts you at ease, highly recommended
