Song-tastic!!
Got the Silver Songmaking Experience as a 21st birthday present and it was the best birthday present ever!, the studio people are above and beyond friendly! The made sure my song was exactly how I wanted it to be, we recorded take after take until I was happy with the finished product then while it was being finalised I got taken on a tour of the studio rooms and was talked through some of the background of each room we went into and how all the different sounds were made, overall amazing day out and amazing present to anyone! Will be going back sometime in the future to record more songs! :)
A complete waste of money
to many problems to list BUT the main one was the songs I sang had 2nd rate backing music and not the original. when I tried to play them in my car on the way home, they did not work. and took over a month after chasing to receive them. ALL IN THE BIN
A wonderful experience!!
For my 50th birthday a good friend of mine bought me the songmaker experience as a gift and it was a real fun day. I had a really good time recording my disc and being shown how the professionals record in their day to day life. I felt really special and John the recording producer, was really great and put me at my ease, and really encouraged me. I would definitely do this again and recommend it to anyone who likes to sing because it was a real special experience I will never forget.
Trendy London apartment location, very professional.
We didn't know what to expect as my friend and I took our 10 year old daughters for a session at Songmakers London location. The studio is set in a modern apartment/ office. The staff were friendly and laid back and the whole session was really professional, a lot of time was taken to get the sound right etc and the girls worked hard during the time we were there. My only criticism is that we didn't know exactly what was going to happen prior to the experience and you need to be quite prepared and know the song you are going to sing really well before you go as you are singing to a backing track. Also we didn't really know exactly what we were going to receive after the experience. With a bit if tweaking this could be the perfect way for our potential pop stars of the future ( or not!!) to spend a few hours.
absolutely fantastic, self esteem making and professional fun.
it was bloody fabulous, professional but informal, Beau was so relaxed and was invited to stay and do another song, the results were amazing we didn't realise she sung so beautifully, in fact we cried in the car on our way home, the owner came in while we were there and was so friendly gave Beau a 50% voucher to return again, which we will do, most definitely. and what's really important is that Beau loved it, it really gave her a taste for her future. if you get the opportunity to do this then DO IT, and I thought it was very reasonable too, (price wise). excellent experience for us all.
Brilliant, individualised client focus
I used Songmaker last year using Tesco Clubcard points. I had a two hour slot but was mistakenly only booked in for one hour. I emailed them afterwards to point this out and they offered for me to come back for a full two hour session and record a new song free of charge. (I was not rude or stroppy or demanding in my email to them so they didn't need to offer this to me just to keep me happy, I think it was very generous of them to do this). Both occasions I was made to feel very at ease and allowed to do mulitple takes until I was satisfied with the result. I would highly recommend!!
Excellent
Had a brilliant experience at Songmaker really enjoyed making my own version of a song that I really like would definitely recommend them.
"One of The Best Birthday Presents Ever"
I bought this package as a birthday present for my best friend as I think he's got a really good voice. Having got there he was a bag of nerves as he'd never sung in front of anyone before, let alone in front of a microphone. However, the staff completely understood his position and soon he was recording like a pro and afterwards he said that it was "one of the best birthday presents" he had ever been given. We couldn't fault the staff or the equipment on the day and would recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic treat for the kids! Perfect birthday present.
We arrived at the studio and were made to feel at ease straight away. The location was amazing ( lots of restaurants and bars etc ) and the studio was brilliant. great fun to watch the kids strut their stuff and the end cd sounded great when we got home. The kids keep playing it all over the house which can be annoying but otherwise a must do experience.
