ANCHORSTUDIO's Blurbs |
About me:

After over 30 years in the music industry as a performer, session musician and sound engineer, I am now looking to share my knowledge and experience and move into the comfort of sound recording and production.
Not, I hasten to add in the mainstream industry, because in all the years I have spent there I have seen how new, small and unsigned local bands struggle to find a place to put down their ideas, or record and produce that first all important demo that might just open the doors and let the world hear their music.
ANCHORSTUDIO intends to fill that gap, by giving bands a place to develop ideas, record demo’s and produce CD’s to professional standards for promoting their work
ANCHORSTUDIO is a project studio based in Lancashire, it has been enlarged and updated in September 2007, and is available for bands and performers who need that space to develop and put down their ideas.
I will also be available to give advice on the how, what, where and why of live sound performance and production with support on equipment and how to get the best from it, can engineer live gigs.

Who I'd like to meet:
"You Will Only Be Taken Seriously With a Professional Recording…"
The first impression your music makes on a listener will either help your career or it won’t!
Every day, Record Companies, Radio Stations and Music Venues from around the globe receive thousands of recordings from artists looking for life-changing opportunities. The only thing standing in their way is the quality of their music. A good artist will stand out and be taken seriously if they sound at least as good as their influences, which mean that if you want to reach that level, you must turn your songs into great recordings.
ANCHORSTUDIO is a medium sized 24 track project studio set up mainly for unsigned bands and performers who need a place to develop and put down their ideas, record demo’s and produce CD’s to the professional standards required for promoting their work.
A family run studio using years of experience, we now blend the warmth of analogue, with the quality of digital, giving you the sound everyone is looking for.
We can produce demos on CD, tape and minidisk, with a small run copying and cover design service, and prepare and produce press kits.
In other words we can give you the full package you need, that will make people take you seriously…
Links to the music we have produced can be found on this page.
REMEMBER THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS NOT AN EASY RIDE!
But if this is what you are hungry for, don’t wait any longer, contact ANCHORSTUDIO and together we will help give you the profile and recognition you deserve
Kind Regards
Dave Searle - Studio Manager
