Recording Studio Taster Session
Overview
What a fabulous way to spend your morning or afternoon recording a track as you show off your singing talent at a choice of three locations.

The friendly, helpful engineers and staff will be on hand to help you throughout your recording which you will take home on a cd.

First studio experience
Friendly greeting from Andy in Cambridge Zoo. We tried two self penned songs, written the previous night, in the two hours, with no backing music prepared. One of them ended up as a reasonably finished article. Which, given my lack of musicality and complete lack of preparation is more of an achievement than you may imagine. Tip for anyone going. Probably good to prepare well but still fun if you do not.

Fantastic Experience
I couldn’t recommend Orchard Studios highly enough. I’d never done anything like this before and Charlotte made myself and my girlfriend feel very welcome and at ease. A really professional outfit, and a really eye-opening experience in to the world of production and track recording. I wish them all the best success in the future.

A corking time in a recording studio!
Andy at Zoo Audio in Cambridge was a fantastic host! He put me at ease as it was my first experience in a recording studio and talked me through the process. I’m super happy with the result and I get to keep the tracks on cd as a keepsake. I highly recommend this experience.

Amazing experience!!
What a day!! It was easy to book through the studio via email at a suitable date & time. When we arrived Charlotte was very friendly & soon put my daughter at ease. She talked us through the experience & how the session would go. Soon my daughter went into the studio & started to sing and really enjoyed the session. Charlotte explained everything & We were all involved as a family to create the final cut of the song. I highly recommend this experience & especially Orchard Studios.

Zoo Audio. Really great experience
We did this for my daughter for her 21st birthday. Andy at Zoo Audio was great with her. He really knows his stuff and is a lovely bloke as well. She had a great time and wasn’t rushed. Would recommend this as a good place to start.

Fantastic experience!!
I had a great afternoon with Charlotte who was happy to explain all the techniques she can use to improve the quality of the recording. She was also very encouraging when helping me to get rid of my nervousness in the beginning! All in all I would thoroughly recommend this experience and I would love to do it again!

Fantastic little recording studio
Having never attempted to record any music before, Andy from Zoo Audio made the process really easy. He not only taught me some tools and techniques for recording but encouraged me to improve again and again before making the final adjustments. I’d definitely recommend Zoo Audio to anyone thinking of giving this a go.

Nothing like what we expected
I thought I’d treat my daughter to a recording studio. She had never done anything like it before. The gentleman let us in through a very old shed. He didn’t introduce himself. Nor ask my daughters name. The conversation stared. Do you know what you’d like to sing? My daughter is 9 and she was petrified. He sent her straight into the studio & asked her to sing. No words. Nothings to sing along to. It was nothing like we expected She recorded two songs but was only given one.
