    Develop a demo to share with venues or collaborators, or work on an original song.
  3. Prepared material

Prepare before you press record

Agree on arrangements, tempos, endings and key parts.

Check instruments, cables and the personal equipment your band relies on.

If you use in-ear monitors, check the seal and the monitor mix each player needs.

Include band size, instruments, number of songs, preferred dates and the intended use of the recording in your enquiry.

We will confirm whether Band Factory is suitable and discuss the next step.
