June Update

hi guys & gals, a bit of news on the Aquarius rehearsal front, due to your great & overwhelming response to our rehearsal facilities, we are pleased to announce that we are building a 3rd room. :), hopefully this will reduce waiting time & make it easier to book spaces.

It will be as near a carbon copy of our main room as we can get it, we have already bought a drumkit for it today.

we are making a start this week & hoping to have it finished in around a month or so. (depending how busy the PA side gets!!)

keep checking website & facebook for progress reports (& maybe some piccys of the build)..  just click the HUUUGE Facebook button to the left to find out page!

2010 Update October

Hello all,

It has been a while since our last website update, when we had just launched our rehearsal room & studio facilities.  This has proved to be so popular that we have made the studio a dual purpose room now so that it doubles up as rehearsal room 2, so we can accommodate more bands.

There is now a drumkit permanently installed in each room, also a complete bass stack & a selection of guitar combos which can be moved between rooms as required.

There is a 1200w pa system in each room with 4 mics permanently set up more are available if requested.

We can also supply d.i. boxes for acoustic guitar & keyboards as required.

Both rooms are fully carpeted & equipped with soft seating & heating.

Music stands, keyboard stands & guitar stands are also supplied.

There are toilet facilities & plenty of free parking.

All you should need to bring are your instuments & yourself!.

We are charging £10.00 per hour at the moment but we may have to increase this to  £12.00 per hour next year if the VAT increases as promised.

We believe this to be one of the best equipped facilities in the area, & there are no hidden extra’s (drumkit hire, amp hire etc) you just pay the hourly rate & you are free to use everything.

We still have the facility to record up to 16 channels directly from the rehearsal room to the studio into pro tools HD2 for making demo’s etc.

We also offer live multitrack recording of live shows nationwide (up to 48channels) which we can mix down here afterwards or just give you the files for you to do it yourself

For an example of our studio work, check out the new breathing space live album/dvd, the audio was recorded live by us on the road & mixed & mastered here in our studio. (see the links section)

As regards to the live side, we have had a realy busy summer & the rest of the year is looking good.

We have now added a Yamaha LS9-32 console to our hire stock making a total of 4 yamaha digital consoles & 1 digidesign venue.  See our hire equipment list for details.

2010 Update January

As it has been a while since our last update, quite a lot has happened!
 
Some of you will probably know, bright lites uk shared our premises here, as neil has expanded, he has moved into larger premises a few miles away in burnley. We are still working together as we did before, just from 2 different premises. This made his space available for us to use. after a lot of thought & research, we decided to turn the space into a rehearsal room & studio / training room which is now complete!
 
 
"Get the Flash Player" "to see this gallery."
 
The rehearsal room is approx 20ft x 16ft fully carpeted & has some basic backline in it (guitar amp, bass rig and a drum kit by arrangement).
there is a 1200w vocal PA system installed with all microphones, stands, di's required.
 
Please feel free to contact us for rates, times are flexible as there is someone here most of the time. The studio runs on a pro-tools HD2 vers.8 system, which is also available for touring as it flight cased & ready to roll. This interfaces directly with the Digidesign venue we have. We also have a rack of 32ch of pre-amps with splits to interface with other systems. We are not marketing ourselves as a 'recording studio' as such, the plan is to have the facility to record gigs out on the road, bring them back here to mix down.
 
The plan is also to be able to record directly from the rehearsal room to produce a demo CD for bands playing in there if they request it.
also we now have the facility to train people up on digital (and analogue) consoles in a separate, comfortable environment. The studio is equipped with a Digidesign C24 surface with 2 sets of Nearfeild monitoring (Tannoy reveal & court SM30) there are also 2 tannoy B950 subs as needed.
 
 
As regards to the hire side of the business, we have added another Yamaha M7CL-48 console to the hire stock (now making 3) & the pro-tools HD2 system previously mentioned above.
 
We have also expanded our generator range.  See our  equipment list for more details.
