Claire Vocal Take.
£20 for one hour or £15 for half hour.
My name is Paddy and I'm an experienced session musician, producer, song writer, mixing & mastering engineer with a BSc (Hons) in Music Technology since 2009. Ive been involved in the Scottish music scene for 30 years and continue my recording experience witnessing all kinds of changes in music and recording technology. I'm creative, some say a perfectionist, easy to get on with and accommodating. Music and recording is my passion.
This custom built hybrid kit plays and feels like a real acoustic drum kit but records in both midi and audio, capturing a live drummer feel with the advantage of being able to change sounds and dynamics during mix-down. Saving both time & money without re-recording. No need to spend hours setting up, tuning and mic every drum in an isolation booth only for the engineer to slap on a sample. Pick you own drum kit sounds from the module or VST and record them in real time with this amazing kit.
Great vocal sound is an art-form, and with our Rode NT1-A microphone, you can create anything. Having a dynamic range of 132dB opens up a whole world of possibilities. Soft details are captured just as effectively as roaring bombardments. Our vocal Mic takes every nuance and reproduces them with outstanding accuracy.
As well as the wide dynamic range, this microphone can also handle huge sound pressure levels. Plus, with one of the lowest noise floors in the microphone world, our Mic gives you transparent recordings without the hassle of unwanted artefacts.
It is my aim to be an inclusive supportive environment and to help nurture local creativity. Time spent in a studio can cost a lot of money and can put you under a lot of pressure to get the job done. I aim to work with you in creating something special for local talent at a discounted rate. Contact to discuss. This only applies to local people booking me and the studio. Online work is based on what's required and fees for services are to be discussed.
I can provide outreach music sessions for local group's organisations and charities. Our staff are screened and qualified to work with kids and young people. Get in touch to discuss what we can offer your organisation which involve music lessons ,singing and music production. Discounts available.
Most local bands/ singer songwriters have their own home recording setup these days and know how to operate a DAW. There are however restrictions in that it's difficult to record live drumming and/or play live to capture your bands performance . My studio is a stand alone facility with a full 7 piece hybrid drum kit, microphones, a PA and amplifiers. You can hire my facilities to record your band using your own engineer/producer. Bring your own laptop, interface (optional), microphone (optional) and connect you our equipment and get recording. Get in touch to discuss pricing and availability. Please note I don't hire out our facilities for rehearsals only.
Please reach us at strathavensounds@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
You are able to record during your time slot on weekdays and weekends (no extra charge for weekends) Times are based on your requirements however there are restrictions for late night recordings. Recording time slots are between 9am and 8pm. Contact me discuss rates discounts and availability.
To book the use of me and the studio there is a minimum of 3 hours and a maximum of 8 hours in any one day. Local bands and musicians get the discounted rate of £20 per hour for studio booking as I like to promote local talent from my home country. I work with people online all over the world and fees are based on whats required. For local artists coming into my studio I can offer you a pay as you go service that's affordable, flexible and convenient. For example you can book me and the studio for 3 hours to make a start on your project, then book another 3 hours at a later date thats convenient for you and so forth until your project is complete rather than booking 8 hours and trying to complete everything in one day.
I provide outreach music sessions for local groups and classes to promote and encourage music and the arts. I work with children's groups, voluntary organisations etc. I can provide projects for your organisation involving recording, music production and lessons. Get in touch to discuss what I can do for your project and your members.
I can record Bands, Solo Artists, Voiceovers, Podcasts, or Mixing & or Mastering service. Send us your stems & we will create a radio ready sound. I provide an online service for customers all over the world. I offer tuition in DAW recoding and song writing.
Yes I can record multiple instruments, up to eight analogue inputs, four mic/line inputs, two high-impedance, high-headroom instrument inputs and four additional fixed-line inputs, and up to eight additional inputs for larger recording sessions. Perfect for live band recording. With our in house Bose L1 Model 2 PA System and our Jobeky 7 Piece Drum Kit with double kick pedal, and our Peavey 500watt Amps and various microphones, you have a perfect setup for a live band rehearsal with the addition of getting your live playing recorded in quick time. Saving time save money. All we need to do after the live take is make sure each musician and the bass player is happy with the take then record on their own those killer vocals and harmonies. Add some Strathaven Sounds magic and you have your songs with a sound they deserve.
If you are happy with the direction of the first draft then I'm happy to tweak your mixes until happy (within reason of course)
You don't have to record to a click track, but there is advantages to this if you do in that I can quantise all of the playing to make it tight and you can add any VR instruments or loops in quick time. If you decide to record without a click you can still add VR instrument but this would have to be performed live and would need to follow the tempo when recording as this would usually fluctuate.
Mixing is very subjective and individualistic. One engineers process may be completely different to another's. I will bend over backwards to help you achieve what you require. It will be helpful to send us a song or link to a song that you want your mix to sound like. I have to make it known at this point, that a mix is regarded as intellectual property of the mix engineer. If you are unhappy with the mix that we come to a resolution between us then all permissions to use the mix in question will be withdrawn. This ensures protection for both parties.
Online mixing is a paid service to mix your already recorded music tracks by uploading each track (or stem) to us so I can perform the mix for you utilising my equipment and expertise. If you want your songs or album mastered I can do this for you but please let me know when you contact me.
Sure you can get an mp3 custom backing track from https://www.karaoke-version.co.uk/. However, you can only change the pitch which distorts the instruments. I can provide you with a more professional backing track tailored to your sound. I can create sets for you with no stopping and playing each song keeping the dance floor full and providing a quality individual set unique to you. Don't just be that performer who uses poor backing tracks and ruin your performance.
No need to travel to Glasgow or beyond. My studio is a digital recording space, clean relaxing and a learning environment. I offer a pay as you go service which allows musicians and performers to record and learn on a budget. There is no need to spend hundreds of pounds booking an 8 hour session and trying to record and finish everything in one day that you typically do in most recoding studios.
If you are local, feel free to arrange a visit to my facilities at your convenience before booking to discuss your requirements.
