3-Star Experience

The 3-star experience is great value for money and gives you a real taste of the recording process in a full 2-hour session that includes the addition of vocal coaching and production guidance. Come and record up to 3 songs of your choice from our database of thousands of titles - updated weekly with the latest chart hits!

Here's what you get:

A Middle C Productions personalised CD-style Gift Voucher to wrap and present to the lucky star! The voucher will include a unique ID number and our contact details so that the recipient can phone us and book their session.

	On the day itself, the experience starts with an introduction and friendly chat to explain the studio recording process. This will whet your appetite for your recording and help to calm any nerves and put you at your ease so that you can relax and really enjoy the fun - which is what making music is all about!
	You'll be shown our huge selection of guitars, keyboards, amplifiers, microphones, and our computer-based recording and mixing system. It's a bit like Aladdin's cave!
	When the recording stage starts you'll hear the backing arrangement, try a few warm-ups and then we'll start laying down the vocal track. You will experience the unforgettable feeling of hearing your own voice in the headphone mix backed by a full orchestra, a driving rock band, big band, modern pop, dance groove - whatever you have chosen.
	One of the advantages of having two hours to record is that throughout your entire session, we'll give you the benefit of our expertise as we help you with vocal coaching and production guidance to help you achieve the most professional result possible. We'll teach you the basics of microphone technique and show you how different approaches can change the outcome!

We'll record several 'takes' of your golden tones and you'll hear the playbacks on our massive studio monitoring speakers. As soon as we've said "It's a Wrap" you can relax - your singing will be 'in the can'. We'll then start the mixing and mastering stage to give your performance that all-important commercial sound! You'll hear what special effects can be added to enhance your voice and give it that final icing on the cake. Then it's on with the session for your other songs.

Finally, the finished product! - once the CDs have been mastered, you'll get to take home four copies of your masterpiece with top-quality personalised covers featuring your name and photo. Give yourself a pat on the back - what an achievement!
