BTEC Music Technology students from Strode College spent the day over at Orchard Recording Studios yesterday recording an up and coming band called 'Time Slaves.' The owners of the studio Charlotte and James worked with the students allowing them to use the studio themselves. We looked at microphone choices, placement, using the desk, running Logic and how to work with the musicians to get the best out of them.
