Hi. Thanks for visiting us at the Hideout..... (Somewhere in the Welland Valley.....)

Welcome to The Hideout, the studio that you won't want to leave. Equipment includes a playstation and cool beany-bags in our cosy upstairs balcony chill-out area. Oh, and there's some recording stuff here too.

We have everything you need here... a full professional audio recording studio, a video suite for your music DVD, and a well-established top graphic and web design studio, and all very affordable.(See the Hideout Media Group ....take advantage!!). Many of our artists who pop in to record a quick demo, end up using our unbelievable-value support facilities, realising that they should have come here ages ago. After all, where else can you book a 2 hour space in a fantastic environment like ours for just £36!! Or your band can rehearse in our plush sound-proof rehearsal room for £5 per hour. Click on our "Latest News" link below to see how our clients take full advantage of our services.

Our undivided attention and genuine interest in what you are doing are guaranteed. We will help in whatever way we can to make you feel comfortable and to get the best out of you. We don't see our business as simply recording you, taking your money and saying goodbye. In many cases we have been active in the development of our artists, offering web space with photos, contact details and song clips, along with other activities such as securing radio air-play for your newly-recorded tracks etc.... and all for FREE!

The Hideout is aptly named .... it's a place where you can step out of normal routine and spend some undisturbed time with us experimenting with your ideas. Inspiration is just outside the door, where you can sit on the fence and see forever over the Welland Valley. It's a no-rush environment where you can really enjoy what you enjoy doing best... recording your work at a place and time that you'll remember forever. It's very important to us that you enjoy your experience at the Hideout.

Please take a quick look at our ARTISTS COMMENTS PAGE to see what we mean.

We have recorded full-on rock bands, solo artists and opera singers. If you're looking for a quality recording and support for just £18 per hour, We have a minimum 2 hour booking time which means you don't have to book all day, you can record here for as little as £36. Please call and arrange to come over for a coffee and a look round before deciding.

Just a couple of miles away is the Neville Arms Pub, a perfect place for a break between tracks, and if you're planning on staying in the area, accommodation is just a short walk away.

You can see the general layout of the studio on the link below, and there are more photos on the er... photos page.

Studio layout:

 

The Hideout has been specially designed for use as a music environment with acoustically enhanced and soundproofed rooms. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that it is an enjoyable and relaxed place to work, and our customers are always commenting on the pleasant atmosphere we have here.

Boring bit...... For you techno-boffins here's a run-down on our facilities: We've just upgraded to the latest Logic 8 Studio which runs on a Mac G5 through an anologue Mackie 32:8 desk. (This is a lovely combination of analogue and digital technologies) We've added another 24 simultaneous digital channels with a new Motu 24I/O audio interface and have also just invested in a Neumann TLM103 microphone. We have 4 patchbays and loads of other wirery bits to make it all work. A new 4 channel headphone amp in the live room gives you complete control over your own headphone mix to ensure your complete comfort during recording.

Not forgetting of course our FULLY QUALIFIED sound engineer! Click HERE to hear some tracks written, performed and recorded by Ash. Or visit his MYSPACE page to find out all about him). For a full list of our equipment click HERE.
