With the perfect balance of professional analogue outboard equipment, and industry level software / hardware (including Pro-Tools and Nuendo ) the studio can cater for the ever changing needs and demands of clients. Through accessing outside subsidies, we can provide true industry level recording at competitive rates, and offer hour / day / week rates & NUS discounts.
As well as the quality, the thing that really sets recording at higher rhythm apart from the rest is the exposure your music will get.
We now offer free streaming of your music through our wesbite , as well as opportunities to be aired over our radio station
sine fm , and with combined hits across our sites currently totalling more than 40,000 per month, you are definitley going to get heard.
We will even drop you a link to your own / myspace site from our site, and are currently developing an online store where you can sell downloads of your music. When you consider all this is for free as part of our recording service, why record anywhere else ?
