It's 2 years since my last price increase and I've been holding out as I like to keep my prices down as much as possible. However it's now time to make a change and my charges are going up from £16 per hour to £18 per hour from November 21. Still amazing value though, if I say so myself.

A bit of fun from the very talented Andy Kirkham, a local Norwich musician that we recorded and mixed at Sugati Sound a while ago.

A tongue in cheek song about politicians on TV and their ability to hide and obscure the truth and lie to maintain their position of power. Song written by A...

It's never been a better time to do your own recording at home. Unfortunately, you could say. But making the most of this situation we find ourselves in is a good option and writing and recording at home is not too difficult even for those who don't have a very 'techy' inclination.

If you want to try this but don't know where to start then there is plenty of good information out there. A fair amount of less good stuff too!

Ignore anyone who is suggesting spending a lot of money. There really is no need to do that. For most people you only need a computer, an audio interface, a microphone, and some speakers. You may already have two of those and while home stereo speakers are not ideal they can definitely get you started and even headphones will do at a pinch.

The thing that most people (in my experience) fall down on is mixing. This is something that really does require experience to get a good result, as well as better speakers and a treated room!

So the answer, I think, is to get an experienced studio engineer to mix it for you (yes you've reached the shameless plug part of my post!). At £16 per hour, my services are very good value and I can often mix a typical pop or rock track in about 4 to 6 hours, depending on its complexity of course. I can often give a quote if you prefer, and I offer a 'no charge if your not satisfied' guarantee.

I have nearly 20 years of experience recording and mixing so your in safe hands (and ears).

I can also help with recommendations for recording gear and advice on getting set up and started with your own recordings of you should need it.

Please get in touch if any of this appeals to you.

Thanks.

The studio is fully up and running again now. Plenty to do with 5 larger recording projects on the go and several other bookings too. I'm very pleased with the new set up. Definite sonic improvement in the room and Sonarworks is a great help when mixing.

The refit is nearly complete. Bass traps and cloud panels installed. Just the floor and skirting to do and I can get up and running again. Should be 8th April.

Probably the last in a series of recordings at Spooner Row today. Fairly abstract jazz with two trumpets or flugel horns.

A new bit of kit is always exciting though probably more so for me than my customers. This time though I'm mentioning it here because the Townsend labs Sphere L22 microphone that I now own is a fabulous addition to the studio. I'm already blown away by it's clarity and versatility. Sounds great on vocals, guitar, violin and percussion, which is all used it for so far.

Reluctantly I've put up my prices from September 2017. £15 per hour is still very good value though and I always work hard to ensure all my customers are happy. September seems a very popular time to start new projects so why not book a session at Sugati Sound and get those creative juices flowing.
