LATEST NEWS!!! NEW PA INSTALLED IN ROOM 3 - 1.2KW hows that?? That's 1,200 Watts of vocal rig - We reckon for the 1st time ever guitarists will be telling the singers to "turn it down" hahaha
We are planning to upgrade the other rooms in due course (well when we can afford it!) In the meantime we will re-inforce the other rooms with the spare bit of PA from room 3.
Also New drum kits arrived in October 2007. Mapex M series rock kits will replace the Gretsch kits which we have had for 5 years. Special thanks to the Nottingham Drum Centre for getting us a deal with MAPEX on this one!
We are looking to expand the studio and create 4 monthly lock out rooms. The price will be £350ish per month. You will have access 24/7 with your own key. It will have an alarm system and CCTV. A drinks/snack machine and maybe pool or table footie.
If you were to share it with another band or couple of bands then the price per member reduces significantly. Is this the way forward???
It will be to the same standard as Magnet with sound proofing etc. Would you be interested?? We need to establish the level of demand before we make a decision. So please message me with your thoughts.... Cheers Rob
Satisfied customers include Status Quo, Blue, New Found Glory, Sophie Ellis Bexter, Evan Dando, Molly Hatchet, Matthew Jay, James Blunt, Craig David, Rock City, Julian Cope, Daniel Beddingfield, Simply Red, Backstage Productions and Bullet For My Valentine.

Sick of it all!!!

I set my business up myself - with my own money. It has taken me 10 years to pay off the initial loans for Magnet Studios. I've worked fuckin' hard - I'm talking 14/15 PLUS hours a day sometimes ...
