Recording Studio

Our brand new recording studio has been designed to combine the very best of analogue & digital technologies in order to provide a highly flexible 'state-of-the-art' solution to all your recording needs. Our studio's many benefits include the following:

•  An industry-leading Cubase 5 recording & sequencing software platform operating at an extremely high digital quality of 24 bit 96khz (far superior to standard CD quality of 16bit 44khz), as well as providing an unlimited number of tracks at mixdown.

•  Our all-analogue recording paths feature active D.I. (for line instruments) or valve pre-amplification (for microphone channels), as well as high quality well-respected 4-band Soundcraft EQ.

•  Extensive additional software provides a vast array of effects, from classic reverbs & compression etc. to innovative keyboard, guitar amp, & microphone emulation, all usable in 'real-time' for you to utilise in your performance & final mix.

•  Make use of our in-house equipment such as Marshall & Laney guitar & bass amps, and Roland Juno & JP8000 analogue modelling synthesisers.

•  A PC based quad-core Pentium system provides the widest software compatibility of third-party plug-ins available, as well as flexible upgrading options, while our in-house computer engineer avoids the delays associated with maintenance of Apple Macintosh systems.

•  Full foldback headphone monitoring system allows for up to 4 different mixes to be supplied simultaneously to multiple separate sets of headphones - everyone performing can therefore have their own tailored mix to monitor while recording.

•  Ensure the clarity of your final recordings using our full kit drum microphones, & a choice of dynamic & condenser microphones available for all other applications.

•  Record your full band simultaneously to retain that 'live' feel, or build your mix over custom tailored 'click-tracks' which enable you to 'cut & paste' the best part of each recorded take into a final commercial quality result - the choice is yours.

•  Full mastering services available to polish your final results, also available for recordings made elsewhere that seem to need that 'little bit extra'.

•  A wide range of in-house session musicians (including our pool of guitar & keyboard tutors) are at your disposal to provide virtually any additional instrumentation you may desire.
