Pricing

Being set up as a basic tracking studio we’ve tried to be a bit different in our pricing:

  • For full song production direct at our Normacott facility we charge £50 per song [recorded/mixed/mastered] for this you will get the use of the in-house microphone/editing setup and an engineer, normally a single morning/afternoon or evening session encompasses a basic one-track recording.
  • A 'day' recording is just that, we get there when you’re ready and we’re happy to be there until you finish. This has a traditional midnight cut-off with that being the end of the ‘day’. We cap the cost of a ‘day’ recording at £150 – essentially if you can get through 5 songs in a ‘day’ you get two recorded and produced for free!
  • The ‘live’ set-up has undergone recent refurbishment and it is now possible to lay down great demos as a live band in one take, with overdubs tweaking the sound afterwards, this facility and investment in the studio speeds up the tracking process for bands with lots of material who want to lay the tracks down and come back for a more detailed and directed approach at a later date, or is perfect for those who just want to lay the tracks down fast.

PLEASE NOTE:

Higher-grade post-production work is handled by our sister company ‘Minty Fresh Recordings’ through our London facilities. Mixing and Mastering is available at a basic cost of £15 per hour or per track depending on requirements.
