Booking Our Studios & Engineers

The Department has the facilities to record all styles of music to a professional standard and student engineers with the expertise to achieve this. Our students are usually happy to make recordings for external musicians. If you are interested in being recorded then the procedure is as follows:

1. Email your recording requirements (style of music, size of group, availability, location or studio, etc) and contact details to Tim Walker.
2. We will post what you send on our Recording Noticeboard and any students who are intersted will contact you directly.
3. The cost to you will usually be minimal and will be for you to negotiate with whichever student takes up the challenge.
4. The only exception arises if the recording is to be exploited commercially and/or you require a profesional quality master to take away (as opposed to a cassette or CD-R copy); in this situation the University may ask for an additional fee for sound recording copyright clearance; this fee will depend on the intended duplication and distribution and must be negotiated with the Head of Department.

NB. Our studios and equipment cannot normally be booked by our student engineers between mid-June and the end of September. The exception is if a student (or graduate) is hired to run a commercial session during this period.

To enquire about commercial bookings, at commercial rates, please contact our Studio Manager Eddie Proud.
