bassfunk Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hi Guys The jazz Quartet I play in was booked in for some free studio time this coming weekend at a friend's studio. But he's now got some paid work coming in so we've been bumped! We've all booked time off from gigging this weekend, and we're all booked up with various things for the next couple of months so we really should do it this weekend. We're not bothered about state of the art equipment. We just wanted a decent sounding live room, a quick and efficient engineer and cheap (£100 a day or less). I figure at short notice if somebody is free this weekend we might get a deal? Needs to be in the Manchester area or close to. The other alternative is we have a digital eight track and all the mics etc we need so if anybody knows of a decent space we could do it ourselves. Our regular rehearsal space has too much bleed from other rooms. Anybody got any suggestions? Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm in Talke Pitts, ST7 1PW, takes about 40 minutes from central manchester but obviously it depends on traffic and where abouts in Manchester you're travelling from. I could free up the weekend for £100/day no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassfunk Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Sorry was on my phone and couldn't see your sig. Just switched to desktop mode and saw it. Will text guitar and let him know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Admiral Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 You could give my mate Mike a call at HQ studios. Central Manchester - right by Strangeways. Not posh, but the desk is great, he's a really nice bloke and a good engineer, and can offer you a copying service too. No idea if he's free, but we'll worth a call. http://www.hqstudios.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subrob Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'd be delighted to generally recommend bigtone studios in salford to anyone looking for a good Manchester studio, having spent this last weekend there. Alas, the coming Saturday is spoken for by us, possibly sunday too. Good luck, nontheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfunk Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Thanks guys. Might be sorted now but good to have recommendations for future projects. Maybe we could make a sticky with studio recommendations and samples of basschatter recordings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo4652 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I've seen many of the rehearsal rooms/studios in Manchester. The cleanest, quietest, most helpful place has to be Great Image Studios in Hazel Grove: http://www.greatimage.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
