Coolstars
Coolstars is the brand of Recording Studio Experience developed by the Beehouse and Mantra CDs and Recording to cater for inexperienced or first-time recording artists, musicians, songwriters, singers. As explained above, our standard and hallmark recording studio experiences are 5 hours in length with a CD at the end, costing £199.75, although we do offer a 2-day package for £350 which is also very popular. The 5-hour experience has evolved from 10 years' trial and error with a number of different formats. It is a package we feel offers the most by way of an insight into the recording process, whilst still being a great deal of fun, and enables the artist to get the most out of the facilities available, and to find a level of self-knowledge about materials and styles which would not be possible in a "booth experience". With the five hour package we achieve a high rate of satisfaction that would be impossible to achieve from a shorter more superficial recording experience. This can be seen by the rave reviews on our on our website visitors' page, of which we are justly proud.
Recently we have started looking at a shorter experience for children. The studios are family oriented with a number of cats and dogs on the very rural premises, and we have had a number of very successful young singers and musicians, accompanied by parents of course, who have enjoyed our sessions immensely. At the present time we are developing a 3- hour gift package, or kids' mini-experience for the under 12s.
