FAQs


Where can you record?


Anywhere! The advantage of using a compact set up rather than a large recording studio means the recordings can take place anywhere within 20 meters of a power supply.

Typically it is best record at the bands or artists regular practice venue because this is where you will feel most comfortable and achieve better performances. The alternative to this would be to hire a professional practice room for the recording session however this would introduce additional costs.


How long does it take to record a song?

This really depends on how many parts are being recorded and if they are being recorded simultaneously or separately. Separately recorded parts would offer better recordings however will take more time so this is really dependent on the budget and desires of the band. Mellow Yellow Recordings can advise the best approach to a recording depending on the bands objectives, please contact us to discuss your requirements.


How can you achieve high quality recordings without all the equipment used in a recording studio? 

Good quality recordings can be achieved through high quality microphones and know how. At the recording stage very little of the equipment in a recording studio is used, it is only at the mixing stage that this equipment is utilised.

Most of this equipment is also available as software alternatives and this is how Mellow Yellow Recordings mix thier songs. This is known as mixing 'in the box' and this is why Mellow Yellow Recordings can offer low cost recordings that achieve the same high standards of recording studios.
