Very popular is a three hour evening session starting at 7pm and ending at 10pm. Bands have recorded mini EP CD’s in such sessions. Although a final mix is not always achievable in the time, a mix can be provided within 24 hours of the session inclusive of the booking charge.

There is a resident Premier drum kit in the studio but this can easily be moved out if a drummer wishes to use their own kit. A variety of guitars are also available as part of the studio hire costs. The studio also houses a 700 watt PA plus a 100watt Peavey guitar amp and bass guitar amp. An Ensoniq synth keyboard linked via midi to several sound modules and software sampler, can be used as part of the recording session.

Unusually for a recording studio the sound engineer actually sits in the same room as the performers. A control room was  to be added to the studio when it was first set up but clients really enjoyed the relaxed and social atmosphere of having the engineer/producer face to face and giving instant feedback! An overall plan and setup of the studio can be found by clicking on ‘The Studio’ tab on the menu at the top of the page.

The studio was reviewed by Paul White in ‘Sound on Sound’ magazine, July 2004 issue. The description he gave of the studio is as follows:

”The room itself is separated into two areas by a supporting buttress, and all the walls have been covered using thin wood-effect panelling on battens with lightweight rock wool behind. Although this makes the surfaces very reflective, the sheer amount of stuff in the studio provides a lot of dispersion to keep this nicely under control, and the panelling seems to act as quite effective bass trapping.”
