Big Blue Media can produce good quality demo recordings in a price
range suitable for unsigned bands and solo artists who often have a limited
budget to work with but still want to get the most from their demo recordings.
Because we are mobile our overheads
are much lower than a normal recording studio which means you pay substantially
less.
We use RME and Presonus digital audio interfaces
with good quality analogue pre-amps and a wide range of quality microphones.
Mixdown is done using Cubase 4 and a host of top notch
VST plugins including the Waves Mercury bundle which contains some of the best EQ's.
and compressors on the market. We also use software plugins by UAD who are renown for
their faithful emulation of classic and vintage audio hardware.
Everything is
monitored through a pair of industry standard Mackie HR824 high resolution monitors
Mastering is done with Steinberg Wavelab, UAD and Waves plugins and
the revolutionary HARBAL.
But most of all we have good ears! and that's important!

"the Brownies could be Xerox Girls' attitudinal, imperiously cool nieces and nephews. Brilliantly out of step with current modish indie trends, full of heart-in-mouth moments and a hatred so finely tuned it's almost sexy, Means To An End is a handstand, a cartwheel and a kick in the nuts and it demands your immediate surrender." - THE GUARDIAN SINGLE OF THE WEEK
This is a huge scoop for us and definitely a gig not to be missed!!
Support for the evening comes from Anola Gray and I Saved Latin. Two of the areas finest up and coming bands.
,p. Andy Votel is internationally respected amongst djs, record collectors and producers as a champion collector of obscure psych-folk-prog-hip hop-jazz-trash-kraut-fuzz-tropicalia and funk. He is co-owner (with badly drawn boy) of Manchester based label Twisted Nerve and has remixed tracks by Ian Brown, Death in Vegas, Lamb and The Avalanches.
The evening will also feature a special live performance from Jonjo Feather. With two highly acclaimed singles under his belt on Dead Young Records and his debut album due in April, this will be his first hometown show in over a year.
Additional dj sets come from Leeds Hi-fi Club’s Boogaloo residents (latin, funk, 60's beat, ska) and Laputa’s Johnny Boy (psych, funk, freakbeat).
“God bless Andy Votel.” David Holmes
"Raspy sensuality and buzzed up distorted swagger...the beats are off kilter and original...the Leeds scene has something to cheer again, go Jonjo, go." The Daily Mirror
