The Player Diamond is our longest experience in this range. Lasting a full 6 hours, it allows 1 to 3 musicians in the studio playing any manner of instruments from guitar and piano to flute and sax. use the time to record an EP of quality demos, or work on just a few songs with complex harmonies and rhythms. The choice is yours...
The recording studio experience day
On arrival all guests will be shown around the recording studio by the engineer and producer. refreshments are available throughout the session. Souvenir CD's require a photograph in order the prepare the CD artwork. The recipient(s) of the voucher then set up any equipment and discuss there exact requirements with the engineer and producer. Perhaps a backing track is needed to set the music alive - we have an in-house drummer, bass player, and keyboardist to help out. If it's just a case of miking up the instruments and recording then that's fine.
Equipment
We have some of the best equipment in the recording world including the legendary Neumann vocal mic. Also guitars, basses, three virtual grand piano's, Hammond, Rhodes, synthesizers, amps, Yamaha maple custom drums - even the very latest electronic drum kit for triggering our hi-tech drum samples. Professional sound equipment is used to record all performances right through to the end stage. Our aim is to exceed the artists expectations while in the calming and relaxed environment of our recording studio. After all we hope they'll catch the bug and come back again to further their recording career!
Mixed and mastered to your Souvenir CD's
Once the performances have been captured, it's then mixed, produced and mastered on the souvenir CD's we made at the start of the session - ready for you to take home at the end. Three CD's are included with all your mixed and mastered tracks on each, complete with your colour photograph digitally printed.
