HOW LONG DO WE NEED?
A standard 4 or 5 piece guitar based outfit recording approximately 5 tracks would need on average four days recording and three days production.
- Day one - Set up and record drums to click track or guide tracks
- Day two - Bass, rhythm and lead guitar
- Day three - Lead and backing vocals
- Day four - Percussion, additional overdubs and final tracking review
A solo artist/instrumentalist recording approximately 5 tracks would on average need one / two days recording and one / two days production.
- Day one - Record all accompanying parts and lead
- Day two - Vocals, Backing vocals, additional overdubs and percussion if required
When complete you will be invoiced for the tracking element of the recording prior to mixing. At this stage you can take advantage of our professional production service, or you have the option to provide us with a suitable flash drive and take away the wav files for mixing and mastering elsewhere.
The above are just two basic examples to use as a guideline.
We are experienced in recording everything from solo artists to brass sections and choirs. We also offer a portable recording service to record live gigs.

LIVE RECORDING
On a tight budget and want a live demo? We can take care of it...
We can record up to 16 individual channels simultaneously and get your bands backline recorded live in one take. We then record lead and backing vocals separately.
A well rehearsed 4-5 piece rock/pop band should lay down around 5 tracks in approximately 4 hours. On top of this we need a minimum of one hour per track for a basic mix.
