what we do

There are 464.7 million podcast listeners globally as of 2023, with the number predicted to reach 504.9 million by the end of 2024.


We can help make you forward-thinking audio content, ranging from simply providing a chair and a mic, to a bells and whistles fully edited, mixed, and uploaded podcast with original music.


If it is your first episode or your ninetieth, we can help you with anything you need.





Aims

  • Support the creation of podcasts in Scotland - promote creativity
  • Accessibility - create a safe haven for audio work, aware of neurodivergence and background.
  • Work with the Edinburgh Fringe - empower Fringe performers with audio content.
  • Focus on young people - provide opportunities to young people
  • Local community - work in Edinburgh with other great businesses.
  • Internet - utilise the power of the internet to disseminate content.


If you are interested in making songs, please do also get in touch.


We are aware that everyone is seeking something different with their podcasts or vocals, so please get in touch and we can discuss! If it can be beamed into your ears, we're here to make it happen.

What is the fountain studio?

Our central Edinburgh studio measures in at 3.77m x 3.79m, making it the perfect size for intimate interviews, roundtable discussions, or solo recordings. We've made sure to give the space some much-needed acoustic treatment to keep your audio crisp and clear. Tech-wise, we use the industry-standard SM7B microphone, running into Ableton, using iZotope mixing and mastering plugins.


We've embraced the gothic history of Candlemaker Row and created a space that's equal parts spooky and quirky. It's the perfect backdrop for all your audio adventures, whether you're delving into true crime, dissecting the latest pop culture phenomenon, or just chatting away.





Where is the fountain studio?

It is difficult to get more central than underneath the looming spires of the Old Town of Edinburgh. Perched above Bad Boy Barbers at 43 Candlemaker Row, get a trim and an episode in one trip.


With shops, food and anything you can need on your doorstep, you can nip out to give Greyfriar's Bobby's nose a rub for good luck before recording and be back in five minutes.





Team

Comrie Sf - Founder/Sound Engineer/Writer


Comrie is a Scottish sound engineer, composer, writer and comedian. He grew up just round the corner at Haymarket before receiving a full bursary to study English at the University of Cambridge.


Here he joined the Cambridge Footlights and wrote and performed several comedy shows, including writing for the Footlights Pantomime and taking two shows to the Edinburgh Fringe, receiving four stars from the List - 'could well be leading the way in a new movement for sketch comedy'.


He spent a year working on content production for BBC Teach and Bitesize and has since worked on the production team for Comic Relief as well as a technician for the Soho Theatre working with comedians such as Kevin Bridges, Trevor Noah and Mae Martin.


With training from Chamber Studios, a BTEC with merit for Music Production and 10 years of experience with Ableton, Comrie is well-placed to provide technical and creative expertise.
