Recording Studio Experience Days: This is an introduction to what it is like to record a track in a professional recording studio. You will have the chance to prove your budding Pop-star status by recording your favorite song with you singing the vocals. A professional recording  will either be given as an MP3 or burnt to CD (dependant on the studio) on the day for you to take home. This experience is ideal for fun or as a unique present for someone.This experience will give you 1 hour to record 1 song of your choice from our extensive backing track catalogue with over 9000 songs. On arrival you will be greeted by one of our engineers who will assist you with the recording of your song. 

Once you are happy with the backing track, you will then go into the vocal booth & record your vocals to the track. The track will then be 'Mastered' & MP3 or a CD (dependant on the studio) will be created for you to take home. This is a taster session, so there will be limited time to spend on improving your vocals. For those who are interested in a more in depth recording, one of our other experiences with more hours in the studio would be advised.

This was my first solo recording experience and on arrival Rich soon made me feel at home and we discussed the plan for the session. Multiple recordings were made and the best were then used to make the basic track. Rich then worked the magic to give a richness to the sound and to ensure the separate tracks did not compromise one another and that the sound stage had room for everything. Once completed, the ultimate test of listening to the end result to make sure the customer was happy was applied, with the odd tweak here and there, and I went home with my CD and a smile on my face. Thanks to Rich for a great experience. J

This was great fun! We recorded a not-at-all serious song, played with accompaniment and harmonies, it was fascinating and fun. J the engineer who did the magic with the professional-level hardware and software was great, and very kind about by "talents". Definitely recommended if you every fancied taking your Karaoke to the next level, or wondered what really goes on in a professional recording studio.

Excellent intro to Studio Recording. However, musicians might be better off simply booking a couple of hours with a local studio to save money and be able to perform the music as well as the vocal. However, if you want to sing along to a backing track and have it recorded and mixed to a high standard... then this is ideal. I very much enjoyed it and it has encouraged me to book more studio time in the future - but i'll bring the instruments next time.
