Studio E Frequently Asked Questions

What Equipment do we need to bring along?

Guitar/Bass:
Usually it is enough if you bring along your instruments. Your Guitars, Bass and then everything you think is importanted for the sound you want to achieve - be it a small guitar pedal or whatever.
As you can check on the backline section of the Equipment list we have a huge and high quality range of different amps, pedals etc. so all grounds are covered….

Drums:

Please always bring in your own Cymbals, Snare and Pedals!
If you have a high quality Drumset that sounds brilliant bring it along! If you are unsure your drumset will cut it you can use our great sounding Yamaha Recording Custom Set for a small extra fee! It will always have new Drumskins on and will sound great on your record - promised!

Click Track/Guide Tracks

It’s a huge timesaver if you bring along your click tracks in form of either a consolitated (read: the file starts at the beginning of the session and ends when the song is finished) wav, aiff or sd2 file, a standard Midi file or in written form (i.e. Bars 1-24: Meter 4/4 Tempo 120 BPM, Bars 25-51, Meter 6/8 170 BPM et cetera, I guess you get the point…). If you want to bring along guide tracks for your drummer deliever them as either wav, aiff or sd2 file and double check if they are in sync with the click!

Where can we sleep during the recordings?

You can’t sleep at the studio, however, there are tons of very cheap and nice flats in Mellrichstadt and around the city where you can stay during the recordings! Please make sure to book the flat at least two month in advance to the recordings! Check these
