Crosstown Studios

We recorded our debut album with Jon, and he was amazing throughout the process. An excellent engineer, producer, and guitarist who helped us enormously and brought out the best in the project. Highly recommended!

Fantastic studio with so much equipment to use. Jon is extremely knowledgeable and down to earth. Been coming here since 2018 and wouldn’t use anywhere else. Also, If you love coffee you are in for a treat

I've attended this studio twice now, and wouldn't go anywhere else. Jon is just brilliant. He listens and makes suggestions and also makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I thoroughly recommend the fabulous Crosstown Studios.!!

5 out of 5 for Crosstown - I always have an incredible experience recording here! This studio is great with superb equipment and a fantastic, relaxed atmosphere which helped me stay focused. Jon is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and really helped bring my vision to life. The sound quality is top-notch—cannot recommend this place enough!

There’s no better place to record for a songwriter or band. Jon is a natural musician with feel, taste and the best ears in Liverpool. Yeah, he makes a boss coffee and is great company… but as a pro musician, engineer and producer; you won’t find any better (pound for pound - check out those competitive prices). Want to make music? Give Jon a bell.

Always brilliant recording with Jon. Good vibes. Good Coffee. Great sound.

I recorded and co-produced two albums at Crosstown Studios, and every session felt like a gift. We’d begin with a conversation, a cup of delicious coffee, and end with something that hadn’t existed before. Working with Jon Lawton at Crosstown Studios has been one of the most rewarding creative experiences of my career. His deep musical intuition, calm professionalism, and sensitivity to an artist’s vision created the perfect atmosphere for experimentation, growth, and magic. Whether I arrived with a fully formed, arranged song or just the bare song with lyrics, a melody, and the chords, Jon always knew how to help shape it into something meaningful and honest. What sets Jon apart is not only his gift as a producer and sound engineer, but also his artistry as a guitarist. His playing added texture and soul to several of my recordings, and his musical instincts often led to moments that felt like alchemy. Crosstown Studios is a space that invites trust. It has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, yet it’s equipped with everything a modern artist could wish for: high-end microphones, an exquisite selection of guitars and amps, beautiful synths, premium pre-amps, and a software setup that offers freedom rather than limitation. Everything here serves the song — and your story. If you’re looking for a studio that honours your voice, lifts your work, and gives your creativity room to breathe — this is it.

I have been recording at Crosstown Studios for almost 10 years. The studio is modern, well maintained, spacious and well equipped with a wide range of mics, preamps, amps, guitars, midi keyboards and drums.  It has off road parking and is well served by public transport. Jon is an excellent producer, patient, affable, can put anyone at ease, and is able to bring a fully formed idea to life as well as help develop a skeleton concept into a fully fledged track. An accomplished musician he is only too happy to double up as a session player when needed. I would recommend it as a recording venue whether you’re just starting out or you’re working on your 10th album.

I recently recorded an EP at Crosstown Studios and can't recommend it enough. Jon made it the most enjoyable recording experience of my musical career. He is an incredible engineer, producer and musician and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. I'm blown away by how amazing my songs sound and can't wait to get back there for my next project!
