Welcome to Mwnci

Mwnci Studios is a purpose-built residential recording studio run by Jethro Chaplin and Owen Gurry. Nestled on the Rambling Dolwilym woodland estate, Mwnci Studios is the perfect blend of state of the art recording facility and artistic retreat.

We offer a relaxed and creative environment with an experienced team to realise your musical vision. The Carmarthenshire countryside makes a serene and distraction-free location for anyone wishing to get the most from their studio time.

Analogue warmth and flavour

The studio is based around a hybrid Neve-style recording setup. We have an extensive collection of preamps from AML, Hairball, AEA with a fully analogue, digitally controlled switching system. This is the perfect marriage of a state-of-the-art workflow and that warm analogue sound.

All the gear and equipment shown is available to bands and artists who want to record with our in-house producer(s). There is an extensive hire list available for visiting producers.

JIMMY ROBERTSON — ARCTIC MONKEYS / FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE

Great place to record. The recording room sounds well balanced and has a great air to it. Not too live – not too dead!

Lovin the ATCs in the control room and nice analogue mic pre amps to get everything sounding sweet… All in all a very rewarding experience.

Great countryside to charge up the inspiration batteries.

PETER WALSH — STEVIE WONDER/SCOTT WALKER

Our time at the studio was one of our absolute favorite tour memories.

THE NAKED AND FAMOUS

Absolutely loved working here, beautiful remote location, fantastic studio and engineer would 100% come back.

ROSALEE O’CONNELL — CHICANE/YOUNG GUNS

Beautiful, secluded location. The control room has a host of excellent pre-amps, all linked through Pro Tools. Great equipment available; amps, guitars, pedals, great mic collection. Cannot recommend it enough
