A DIY package with the Tascam Model 16, an Omni-directional room mic (in addition to the vocal mics) recording the tunes in the room.
An iPhone recording on steroids!

Soloists and Duos
*Soloists and duos are to pay the full room rate where there is a waitlist of bands wanting to book the studio. This will always be communicated with you in advance of your booking in case you wish to pass the room on.
Cancellation Policy
We appreciate that things come up from time to time that may prevent you from coming in for your session. We simply ask for a minimum of 6 hours notice (or 24 hours when the studio is fully booked) so that another band doesn't miss out. A cancellation fee equal to the room hire may be charged where insufficient / no notice is provided.
