Real World Studios is a residential recording studio situated founded by Peter Gabriel and situated close to the city of Bath - in Box, Wiltshire, England. It is closely associated with the Real World Records record label and WOMAD music festival.
When Peter Gabriel had finished the album So, he decided it was time to move from Ashcombe House to a permanent recording facility. The most important thing about the location for Gabriel was to be close to water. Gabriel, David Stallbaumer and Mike Large looked at several sites - usually old mills - in the Bath area. The Real World site had the size and space they wanted, a river and was situated in a beautiful part of the world, accessible from London with the city of Bath less than 8 miles (13 km) away.
The studio's 2000sqft Big Room houses an SSL 9000K XL mixing console, with additional outboard equipment surrounding the room. The Big Room is, unusually for a recording studio, designed to be one big collaborative recording space, without dividing walls and also houses two isolation booths. Adjoining the Big Room is the Wood Room. This room features a more lively acoustic and a booth, mezzanine floor and movable acoustic screens. The rooms can be booked together for a larger recording space, or independently for smaller or more budget-friendly projects.
