    \u00a0Here is a brief description of what you can expect using our recording studio voucher<\/span><\/h2><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Recording studio voucher (One Hour)<\/h2>\n

    \"API<\/p>\n

    For singers a good guideline would be to pick 2 or 3 songs on backing tracks.
    \n(We supply the backing tracks free of charge)<\/p>\n

    For solo musician(s) aim to get one or two songs done well. \u00a0With longer set up and mixing times this is a reasonable expectation. \u00a0With the hour voucher an average time guideline would be\u00a040 minutes (performance time),
    \n20 minutes editing, song mixing, CD burning & MP3 prepping.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \u00a0Recording studio voucher (Two Hours)<\/h2>\n

    \"Fender<\/p>\n

    When singing to backing tracks the average number tends to be four or five\u00a0songs. \u00a0I would advise having six\u00a0songs ready just in case things go exceptionally well.<\/p>\n

    Like our one hour studio voucher the ratio tends to work out similar, 1.5 hour recording to 0.5 hour mixing and\u00a0finalising (example printing CDs, coverting the song to mp3 for easier file management etc.)<\/p>\n

    Solo musician(s) should aim to get two or three songs done well, have a fourth ready.\u00a0 Allow time for set up and mixing at either end of the session.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \u00a0Recording studio voucher (Three\/Four Hours)<\/h2>\n

    \"Audient<\/p>\n

    Singers can expect to cover\u00a0six to eight\u00a0songs with these vouchers. \u00a0Musicians should call me in advance to discuss instruments and how to set up the studio to best suit your needs. \u00a0I would encourage taking a small 10 to 15 minute break inside the three – four\u00a0hours.<\/p>\n

    Taking\u00a0a break is at\u00a0the client’s discretion. \u00a0During this break editing and mixing can happen so no time is lost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Quick tips for before using Bluebird Studios recording studio voucher.<\/span><\/h2>\n

    When you arrive at the studio I will be ready to record straight away. \u00a0So warming your voice up beforehand would be a good\u00a0idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You are very welcome to bring friends along if you wish, you may feel more relaxed with familiar faces around.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Acoustic Instruments<\/span><\/h3>\n

    (Musicians)<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you are using acoustic instruments – if new strings are needed, it is \u00a0best to restring at least the night before to let the string have a settling-in time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    (Drum kits)<\/span><\/p>\n

    Drum kits can have many noise generating areas<\/span><\/p>\n

    Check for loose clamps, under-tightened snare wire, squeaky kick drum pedal or any loose cymbal stands.<\/span><\/p>\n

    New skins will have a bed-in time so best practice is to have skins on at least 24 hours before session.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Different snare options can be very helpful in covering more tonal options<\/span><\/p>\n

    Good quality drum mat does a better job at keeping the kit in place.<\/span><\/p>\n
