Achieving the best sound in rehearsals and recording is dependent on a number of factors - not least the quality of equipment and the quality of the room. Feel free to read this article on acoustics, which provides interesting information on the benefits of a quality acoustic room.

Our control room has acoustics of a very high specification from the shape down to the 'Auralex' acoustic treatment and the high specification equipment. The sound isolation from from the live area is a triple wall and is so good that when recording the most optimal sound can be acheived before being recorded ensuring a quality finished product. The recording studio it's self consits of three seperate rooms - the control room, the live room (Studio 2) and the chill out area. When you come to Stag Studios to record you will find this way of working the most efficent and also the most enjoyable. For example the drums and bass could be recording the rhythm section together live in Studio 2, whilst the singer lays down a guide vocal in the control room with the engineer, and the guitarist can be listening in from the chill out room, practicing his riffs without annoying the other guys! Also, check out the video projection system which can either be setup to show a real time video link up of your fellow band mates in the live room or use it to amuse yourself with video games or edit on your laptop on the big screen!! This awesome exclusive feature shows just how much Stag Studios thinks about all our clients needs, and the dedication and detail we put in to making your recording experience something you'll never forget.

We take pride in the acoustic isolation we have made between all our studios & the outside world. We believe it is essential to be isolated from outside interferences & noise to be able to sink into that creative mood, and that includes hearing the band in the studio next to the one you are in, playing at 120dB! As soon as you close the doors in any one of our studios you will be able to relax & be creative, there may be a def-metal band in the room next to you only a few feet away but you'll still think your the only band in! Allowing you to get on with your music.

Studio 5 is our largest room with fine tuned acoustics for a superb sound and unbeatable sound proofing. It houses a PA system that is capable of delivering 3500Watts of power; therefore great for practicing your stage presence in style! The PA is capable of 150dB SPL and would blow away the average venue; therefore we do insist that the volume to be kept at a safe level & ear protection is to be used for your own safety. When hiring Studio 5 you have the option of paying for the full complete PA, which includes free hire of drum mics and extra vocal mics, or simply using the normal powered PA that you find in all our other studios, for which you can only put vocals and keyboards through. Prices are quoted below. Please inform us of which PA set up you will requre.
