Thank you everyone for acknowledging Q through the Thank you everyone for acknowledging Q through the BMA’s - we’re lucky and grateful to our incredible engineers, producers, musicians, and interns (a top notch crop from 2015 seen here!), who - through their love of music and musicians - all come together to make recording at Q the special experience it is.

We have a bit of an embarrassment of riches of analog tape samplers at Q, but as you might know or can guess, these beasts are incredibly temperamental and not always on their best behavior, but when they're working well there's nothing quite like these incredible machines.
