4-Star Experience

For those that want a little bit more from a recording package, the intermediate experience packs in even more and is still fantastic value at this price level! You get more time to create with a 3-hour session in which you can record UP TO 4 songs of your choice from our database of thousands of titles - updated weekly with the latest chart hits!

Here's what you get on the next rung of the ladder:

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.
	As with the 3-star Experience, 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'.
	You'll then get to do it all over again as we start work on your other songs!
	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.
	You'll have even more fun as we invite you over to the mixing desk to spend a little time learning how studio tools and tricks are applied to the singing parts and help to shape the end result - the differences are amazing!

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