Default Recording questions....
Anybody have any amazing recording experiences within or outwith Aberdeen?

We are looking to record really soon, and everywhere we have recorded so far, we haven't been satisfied with it all.

So yeah, recommendations please....

Budget isn't a concern as yet...

How about you record and mix it yourselves at college? You know how you want it to sound. You know how to record, the gear at college isn't too bad. It'll be cheaper and i'm sure you'll get better results.

There's tons of info online for acquiring good recordings for different genres of music using various types of equipment. It'll probably take longer but i'm sure you'll be happier in the long run.

Even if you don't want to record yourselves, utilising the college studio would be a good idea.
Do some live test recordings and tweak the individual instruments/amps until it sounds as good as it can, then you can go to a studio secure in the knowledge that all they have to do is accurately reproduce the sounds you've given them, which is what they should be good at.

You've got to love Foyermusic. Not the highest quality, but dirt cheap, and the guys can give you advice on pretty much everything. Would be well worth booking a couple of hours for the chat if nothing else.

Not really. Their drum kit is awful, but if you take in your own, and work on properly gating everything then you can get pretty good sounds. Believe me, I've tried.

But, if that's still not enough, how about ARC in Mintlaw? A bit of the beaten track, but their facilities are actually immense and the sound you get is professional and then some.
