SMARTassMusic use many London session musicians.
All the musicians we use are experienced professionals and have worked in West End Theatre, TV, studio recordings and tours with top acts (Paul McCartney, Barry Manilow, Jamiriqoui, Spice Girls, Shirley Bassey, Suga Babes.....and loads more)
With todays technology we get to save you money by allowing these musicians to use their own home studios and uploading the files to us.
We can produce a totally live feel on the drums by having a session drummer play a digital or live kit & send us the individual tracks via our file transfer facility for mixing.
All this keeps the cost down substantially-but for when only live instruments (or a Steinway grand!) will do, we employ the nearby Clowns Pocket studio. This superb facility is run by Derek Nash, a studio engineer with over 20 years experience at BBC TV and who has the rare distinction that he is also first class pro' saxophonist.
Do you have great musical ideas but have no huge budget for a recording studio and session musicians for the time needed?
A single day in a reasonable studio will cost UPWARDS of £350 ($690US) and good musicians will cost UPWARDS of £150 ($290) EACH. If you have 4 musicians and a single day, you have just spent £950 (approx $1900) and that's not including arranging the music!
We can do each 3-4min track for between £190-£300 (depending on the amount of musicians you want) and you have COMPLETE CONTROL over what you want.
In fact, we're such good value that a recent client fly over from the USA (business class!) to record here, while we took care of all the orchestral and backing vocal arrangements and sessions.
