How to... Record your tracks
Recording: Find a studio
06 Blagging It
The best way to get free studio time is to know an engineer who likes your music and who needs some demos to advertise their skills.

How to... Find a recording studio
"If you know someone, somewhere - an engineer who can get you into a studio - then it's only right and proper that you should use them!"
Guy Massey
Engineer
Abbey Road Studios

You could also try to get access to a school, college or university that has some kind of studio set up or if you know your way around a studio then you could always offer your services to an established studio in return for some free time.

Studying a course in music technology will give you access to the facilities as well as giving you the skills to engineer and produce your own tracks.

Check out publications like the Music Education Directory, Sound on Sound and Future Music for details of these courses.
