Demos

Demo tracks are intended to take an early version of song and capture a rough performance. This allows artists to get an idea of how a fully produced version would sound. They are also a great way to pitch song ideas to others - whether that be bandmates, friends, managers, labels or promoters.

FAQs

Recording a demo can vary in session length. Sessions are led by the artist, meaning their attention to detail is up to them. If a rough demo is desired, a song could be completed in a few hours, whereas, if a more produced sound is desired, a longer session is required.

Garage Studios has a variety of professional recording equipment which is perfect for recording demos or full productions.

There are no additional fees for producing a demo at The Garage. Mixing will be included in the session time, and a basic master will be applied at the end of the session. Any addition work which is required will be charged at the standard rate of £15/hr.

We can be as creatively involved as you wish. If you would like advice on composition or arrangement, and other creative suggestions, we're happy to support. Or if you're already happy with your song and are simply wishing to get it recorded, we will focus on engineering and recording.

We have a range of instruments which musicians are free to use; from drums, to keyboards to acoustic and electric guitars.

Testimonials

Amazing studio, Sam is an amazing producer and great to work with! Quick and efficient, recorded two tracks and can’t wait to record more! Fun experience and I felt very welcomed recording and spending days in the garage studios! Definitely recommend :)

Fiona Lennon

I have recorded drums at Sam Hepworth's studio several times and each time I have been impressed by his professionalism. Sam makes you feel completely at ease, and with his expertise, work get gets done very efficiently. This is obviously very important while recording as you want to get several good takes to make sure every base is covered but without taking up excessive time. Sam has great prices and works to an excellent turn around time scale. Highly recommended!
