Back in June of 2023 we had a super fun and super secret session with Ed Sheeran. He came through to shoot some video of him playing through his new loop pedal station. They also shot some interviews with him in the control room.
He was friendly, gracious, and incredibly fast – in and out in under two hours!
Check out the video of Shape Of You, and the interview, below.

The Elovaters
The Elovaters brought all the good summer vibes to Q Division while recording here this December. Their music transporting us from this cold Boston winter to a warm sunny beach. This track Sky High (with Jared Watson of Dirty Heads) was recorded in Studio A with Q’s Chuck Hargreaves engineering. Produced and mixed by Grammy nominated Danny Kalb.

Fuzzy Bumble
Fuzzy Bumble is fused with a mix of indie rock energy and compelling visual art all blended into one. The band tracked an array of new songs at Q Division, including their songs Clones and Deep End. And with Q’s very own team comprised of Joel Edinberg engineering, Pat DiCenso mixing and Ed Valauskas producing the session, it was magic in the studio! Check out their awesome live recording of Any Other Way shot in Studio A.
Kier Byrnes & The Kettle Burners
Described as a high-octane cocktail of chicken pickin’ electric guitar & face melting accordion, this session was all that and more! Engineered by Q’s very own Rafi Sofer and mastered by Mike Quinn of The Moontower studios. This EP was recorded almost entirely live at Q in a single day.

We’re BOOKING SESSIONS IN STUDIO A!
Hey folks – we’re so very pleased to finally be booking sessions in Studio A!
At long last, we’re looking forward to introducing you to the new 2800 square feet of our main recording room.
Q’s Neve 8068 is spic and span – inside and out (more of the restoration story soon), and we have a big – currently lonely- live room that’s waiting to be filled with you. The performance studio includes a large high-ceiling central space, a sizable live isolation room (we’re calling it The Drum Room), and a very dead room we’re calling The Piano Room. We’ve prioritized sight lines between all these rooms and also into the control room. There are two additional small isolation booths for amps, and an area we’re calling “The Inspiration Wall” which we find visually and acoustically… um… inspiring.
So give us a call – after almost two years of working on this space – we’re looking forward to hearing you in it!
FAQ’s:
When?
We’re now booking sessions starting from April 15th and beyond.
Where?
171 Rindge Ave. in Cambridge MA. It’s behind 169 Rindge and across from the Reservoir Church.
Parking?
You can reach us easily from three MBTA stops – Porter Square, Davis Square, and Alewife. We have limited parking in our driveway for artists, and there’s a bit of guest/non-permit parking in the neighborhood. More details on our website.
How Much?
We’ve built a brand new facility and put an incredible amount of effort into restoring the Neve, and well – the world’s come a long way since 1986 – so our rates have gone up. BUT – while we’re still building Studio B, we’re offering an introductory rate. Check in with Ed or any of us via email or phone for all the details.
