Rob Karloff Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Not heard a thing. But if you phone and ask, they'll only be too glad to tell you if/what they're planning. No secrets in that establishment, guv'nor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Doubt Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I have nothing against tom's...but the recording we did rushed or not wasn't up to scratch wen i went to mix it, not enough gate...the drums were a nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Doubt Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 i was merely pointing out that the gate on the drums wasn't enough an it was a nightmare to mix it as their was too much bleeding through. We booked 7 hours and we'd been rehearsing for two weeks prior. All i needed was the recording done 'dry' so i could add everything else later.I just think their getting a bit pricey. I hear it's 14 an hour for rehearsals now?Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 It's called inflation! lol. I think prices and quality are good. You only have to hear some of the fat hippy stuff to hear how good the sound can be. We've done two live recordings there and both came out good for what they were...one take per song and that was that. Only trouble was on the second recording the hi hats are too loud but that's more down to the style of hats and how hard scott hits them, everything else was great. Will def. be recording there when it comes time to do some proper tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 i still prefer the stuff from exile than toms, the old mill hass the best sound in my opinion, i like a few of aberdeen bands home recording like; dave did a great job on the 67 ep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Karloff Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I agreed with Betamax.20/hr is pretty cheap, actually! It's not like Tom is lining his pockets now, is it?! The banks put their charges up, the taxman takes more and more, and the council and landlords up their charges. What else can he do apart from pass on the cost? If he was making enough, he'd absorb it. Tom is not out to screw people over, quite the opposite in fact. Recording is an art, the final results are as dependant on the band and thier knowledge and input as it is on the basic studio and gear. On the whole, I find that the quality of recordings favours Toms, but with FHR a lot more happens there and experience does count! But there are exceptions, the Deadloss EP was a good result. I know that the man behind the desk is a big key too, Dr Deleto did a fantastic job with us on Self-Made Monsters and the proof is in the listening.

Teabags Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 The way I look at it, Tom is still driving a Ford Fiesta.Heres hardly rolling in profits it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Did a 4 hour demo with Paul. For the limited time and money, Paul did a cracking job. As a businessman I know that there are many reasons for raising prices, many of which Rob touched on. If you take more money in (even if its not profit) your costs get larger and larger. Its a snowball effect, you then become VAT registered then you get taxed more etc etc. Its serious shit running a business especially like the one Tom is doing.

Dan G Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I think a lot of people take tom's for granted. I'm not gonna reiterate what Mr Karloff said, but it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 ermi remember when toms was 12 the hour for recording.back in the day....I remember when a packet of crisps was only 2p, there were more in the packet and Mars bars were huge!
