In 1955, Abbey Road created the Record Engineering Development Department to push music recording forward for artists and audiences alike. Over the following decades, the innovation from REDD would open up new possibilities to artists and change the sound of popular music as we knew it.
The new Abbey Road REDD takes nearly a century of audio innovation and uses it to lead the world in sonic technology once again. REDD’s mission is to make sure that artists and engineers have access to the best ways to make music, whether this is timeless tech from the past, the latest ideas from today, or something not quite invented yet.
It does this across three key areas, helping to push the ways that artists create, capture and connect their music with Tools, Hardware and Plugins & Samples. Through its incubator scheme, REDD pinpoints and progresses the most exciting new music-making and connecting technology out there. REDD works closely with our iconic Studios, making sure that the experience of working here is powered by the best technology available, and finding new ways to offer the best of Abbey Road Studios to music makers of all levels across the world.
Welcome to Abbey Road REDD, the sound of the future since 1955.
