Drummers - Remember to bring your snare drum, cymbals and sticks!

Rehearsal Recording
Feel free to record your own practice. Our mixing desks offer 2 track output via USB. All you need is a USB A-B Cable, a laptop/macbook with pretty much any recording software installed and you're ready to go. Studio 1 comes with 3 mics complete with stands. You may need to move the mics round the room until you get the right levels as no band/artist is the same, it's a case of trial and error compared to using our proper recording facilities. If you're wanting to record your vocals too you may need to hire extra mics and stands from us.

As each of the Studios is connected to one of our control rooms, we can also offer our services to record your rehearsal for you. For more details about this service contact us here or ask us when you're next in.

Extra Equipment
If you need more mics, amps or have forgotten cables etc., you can hire them from us!
• Extra microphone, stand and XLR cable for an additional charge per rehearsal.
• Extra guitar amplifiers for an additional charge per rehearsal, contact us here for makes/models and price as they do vary.
• Jack to Jack guitar leads for an additional charge per rehearsal.
