No.1 Promotions recording studio is based just a 10 min drive from Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland. The very 1st thing we want to point out is-ironically- we do not promote music apart from DOING GREAT RECORDINGS! My-mates-aunties-cousin-twice-removed does not work for a major record label & we are not going to slip her your demo- (This is a classic CON dodgy studios used/use)-This is an indipendant studio without major music industry connections. BUT- AN EXELLENT DEMO CAN OPEN DOORS- show you in the best possible light- could make all the difference between you or your bands success or failure. THE STUDIO- We have ONE sound engineer- who is also an electronics engineer and p.a. /speaker system & sound installation designer who has built the studio over several years- Everything in the studio was bought,modified, or built from scratch to integrate seamlessly together-as one system with analog warmth/low latency & digital performance/ flexability. The studio is capable of producing an amazing, natural sound which works especially well with acoustic recordings ( hook up a decent pair of headphones or monitors to your pc & check it out for yourself! ) and equally well with rock or dance based material. (Our founder members have bona-fide dance music credencials?) Our custom modified (one of a kind) analog desk has four band "english" eq with two swept mids(per primary channel!), 48 main inputs, 96 total inputs, 130db dynamic range 10 Hz 130khz (+-3db)frequency response (almost noise free in operation, with incredible high-fidelity technical specs & sounds nice as well!) this compliments the state-of-the-art 2048 track digital audio system with plugins such as WAVES, AUTOTUNE etc which is the WORLDS 1ST 64BIT 500khz capable system! it has 128channel zero latency interfaces & we can also midi up eight hardware synths with ZERO LATENCY we also use LEXICON, BERINGER, outoard. We use DYNAUDIO BM6As as our main nearfield studio monitors- these are regarded by many industry professionals as the best available, they are probably the second most important thing in the studio after the sound engineer- not counting the instruments, the performance, the musicians, the music of course! We are at the stage now when we can choose who we work with and we can produce a sound tailored to the artist/bands requirements BUT we will not release anything that sounds like s**t- drums that sound like they are covered in cotton wool,a kick drum that sounds like a cardboard box, sssibilant vocals, "mono" recordings, dodgy timing issues- in that case we,d rather EAT the cd than release it. ( best to go elsewhere if thats what you want- there are plenty of studios that can help you!) we ARE NOT a production line, dishing out recordings like fast food! A track may take 4 minites or a day, or several days to record. then it may take hours/days/or weeks of work to mixdown/master etc. If you are a band that has paid good money for a demo cd- you take it home and you are dissapointed with the sound- A- you've got a crap stereo or B you've gone to the wrong studio! - in which case we can help! WE WANT YOUR MUSIC TO SOUND GOOD- in the studio, in the car, at home on your stereo, on the net- (on myspace), on an ipod, on the 99p shitty plastic speakers on your pc (in this case as "good as possible within reason"), on a £10,000 hi-fi, on cheap headphones , on our best/worst headphones, on a nightclub sound system, & (you never know), on the radio! Our aim is to produce cd albums, ep's etc that sound like/as good as, commercially produced albums whether classic or modern. We want our recordings to have an interesting PANORAMIC STEREO SOUNDSTAGE with the elements occupying a three dimensional space.(WE USE TRUE STEREO SYSTEMS) Not "back to mono" or "the book says this should be panned center" F**k "the book"- recording music should be as creative as playing/writing/making music- not "color by numbers" . We want our studio to produce music that SOUNDS like it was recorded in a top international studio- we dont care what the studio LOOKS like. Your fans listening to your cd at home dont SEE the studio- they HEAR the SOUND! CALL 07711 700 708 TO GET A DECENT DEMO/ FINISHED ALBUM IF YOU ARE A BAND/SOLO ARTIST NOW!
LOCAL BANDS/ARTISTS / SERIOUS ENQUIRIES- CALL 07711 700 708 we like to speak to you in "real time" its the next best thing to meeting "face to face" we dont use emails for this our myspace profile is for promotional purposes only run by our administrator.
