Recording Studio FAQs :

You should choose tracks you enjoy singing. If you have a backing already to practise with, then so much the better. If not, the engineer/producer at the Beehouse will help you by sending a list of tracks that are generally available. The Beehouse can also help you to source unusual tracks if they are available.



Choose as many as you like, in the five hours we may record between three and eight tracks, depending on how practised you are, what you want the final product for, and so forth. In three hours it would be 2-3 tracks. If you want to record your own material, this will take longer due to arrangement / production requirements.



We enjoy the challenge and stimulation of working with new and original material. If you would like to record your own music, please let us know well in advance of your session, and we will ensure your staffing for the day is right for you. We can help with your arrangement, production, programming and instrumentation if necessary. We can also advise you about possible avenues, should you be considering releasing your material.

You can record anything you can transport to the studio! In the case of pianos and keyboards, we have a selection here, as we do guitars. We will record any instrument, vocals of any kind, and we will also produce your music for you, using what we have at the studio plus advanced computer software. You may also take part in this process as well - we also offer studio engineering and music production experiences as well as DJ experiences.


Keep singing or practising, get a copy of your lyrics, or we can source one for you if you wish. Make sure you have our address, directions and telephone number. Possibly book a hotel or bed and breakfast for one of your nights.



You will be recording and producing with Phil or Jane. Phil and Jane have a combined 45 years' experience in the recording and music production business with some very illustrious names in the world of Pop Music, and Jane is a classically trained pianist and arranger.



Up to 3 visitors may attend your session besides you. Recording artists under 16 should always be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Studio staff are routinely CRB checked



Up to three additional people can take part in a session. If more want to become involved, there is a surcharge of £25 per person, per day.



It costs £199.75 for a five hour session and £350 for a two-day experience. This includes the cost of cutting one final CD for the Day Experience and 5 final CDs for the Two-Day Experience. There is also now a mini-session at £135 for 3 hours.


You will get five hours' recording and production work in one session, and ten hours' recording in the two-day sessions. This represents very good value for money. This is because we aim for our artists to leave with a memorable professional product at the end of the day - we are a commercial studio, and prefer to maintain our standards throughout the work we turn out, whether amateur, beginner or seasoned pro.



There are no extra charges for cutting the final CD, and we provide tea, coffee and lyric sheets free of charge. We also provide access to a huge range of backings as a part of your package. Additional hours are carried out at £35 per hour. We can also carry out artwork at a cost of £45 per sleeve. If you are recording classical music or other types, you may want to arrange an accompanist, although it's best to bring your own if this is how you want to work. Weekend recordings carry a surcharge.
