O On The Fly Mobile
Sound Recording Service
Whether you're a new band looking to get some gigs, or young and just starting out on your musical journey, if you're a solo performer looking to capture your sound, if you're an orchestra or choir who wants a well balanced performance memento, or just need a voice-over for your project, we can help!
On The Fly offers you an affordable, professional quality multi-track recording of your band, choir, orchestra, or solo, either at a live gig, your rehearsal space, or just about anywhere else (as long as there's some form of electricity)! Whether it's for your website, YouTube channel, Facebook profile, Soundcloud, Spotify or any other online streaming app, or whether you're old school and still use good old cd's, we can help you to put your music across to your audience.
A speciality is vintage style recordings, using retro microphones and recording techniques to capture the warmth and spontaneity of the music. Much popular music of the 50s, 60s and 70s was recorded live - early rock & roll, rhythm & blues, Stax, the beat groups, and punk and we seek to uphold that tradition! No separate takes for us! (Although we do like overdubs.)
Here at On The Fly mobile recording service we believe that you deserve a professional recording at a price you can afford. We take away the hassle, intimidation and expense of a recording studio and come directly to you. We have the technology for high quality recordings in familiar surroundings, allowing you to relax, be creative and show yourselves off to the full in a non-time pressurised atmosphere.
Let everybody hear how good you are!

"I love the recordings of the 50s, 60s and 70s. They had such a warm sound using ribbon mics and close mic'ing techniques. I feel that that's been lost with today's focus on digital, midi instruments, mechanical drum machines and studio perfection. I like things rough and ready! I also like the old style producers, who had the ability to draw out great performances from their artists.
If you are a live band who want your sound to be captured in the traditional way, to put your music across to your listeners as authentically as possible, I can produce that for you. If you are a solo artist I can help to give your music depth and space."
