Mixing

Discuss

What Studio loves to mix as that is where it all comes together and you start to hear your work shine. As well as mixing all in-house recordings What Studio can take the tracks you’ve already recorded elsewhere or at home or whatever and turn them into professional, unique recordings. This is a What Studio favourite, you will love the results and this can be done remotely worldwide.
If you would like to hire Stephen to work elsewhere, to produce, mix or record, please get in touch well in advance to book and arrange.

Recording

£120 4Hrs / £200 8Hrs

Sessions at What Studio range from short 4-hour drum tracking to extended block bookings for album projects.
The live room is HUGE, at 40 x 30 x 30 foot; naturally, as bands love playing together in the same room, it makes for a better recording. The space itself has a growing reputation for an awesome drum sound.
The live room is linked to an actual church (used as reverb chamber), and also has Iso spaces for guitar and bass, and more options besides.
Need musicians? For drumming, bass, keys, etc – just ask, available on request.

Mastering

What is ‘Mastering’? Arguably, it is working with a person you trust, with the appropriate equipment and experience, to ensure the final of your song is of a quality that meets music genre expectations and professional standards. It should bang, too.

Drum Tracking

£ - Discuss

Have you exhausted your buillt in drums sounds? Sick of using 'Ken' in Logic? Let What Studio track real acoustic drums and make your drums bang. Perhaps you have some drum takes you love and really want to use, but they lack that commercial finishing touch? Perhaps they need fixing, editing? Let What Studio ‘tune-up’ your drums.
