Happy new year to all our clients and fellow musicians. It's going to be another music filled year with lots of exciting projects lined up at Airtight, alongside continuing work with regular clients in ths studios. Last year was our busiest year yet which is fantastic news, especially given the current economic climate, showing that musicians are making music whatever the weather!
An interesting recent addition to the Airtight affiliates is 'Hollowsphere' who deal with Audio-Visual Equipment Rental, PA systems, VJ systems, lights etc at very reasonable rates. They specialise in a personal service and quality gear which is tested before and after each use making sure you've got everything you need for that all important gig or function. They can also supply an engineer to do the sound or lights for any occasion, click on the link above to find out more.

Well it's been a fascinating few months for Airtight, plenty of great bands in from local faves to current ! And we've found that with the second dedicated production studio the range of projects we're doing has exploded, in a typical week, alongside the normal recording projects, you might find that we'll be making backing tracks, hiphop overdubs, video soundtracks, meditation CDs, DJ compilations and mastering, you couldn't ask for a more varied musical space than here!
We're doing more music Production than ever, either helping develop people's material into finished products or totally producing the music for the artists vocal, which is a creative and exciting process and something that will continue to grow in the future.
Also, building on the success of Tom G's video production work over the past many years, we're starting to take on more work in the
"band / music video" area, offering a fully customised service.... watch this space...

After 3 mad months of creation, sound proofing, constructions, wiring, soldering and everything else imaginable, we're proud and pleased to announce that our second digital studio is now officially open! The original studio has been upgraded to the very latest versions of the software along a with some nice new kit, valve pre-amps, mics etc, and the whole place has had some refreshment to give a new burst of life for the coming year.
It's a very exciting time for us, and we're celebrating the launch of the new studio with an open day on Sunday 3rd Feb between 2-7pm where anyone is welcome to come down, see what we do and meet us, as well benefit from a crazy half-price day available per booking to those who come down to the open day! See the contact page for how to get to us, or give us a ring.
This happy event happens to co-incide with Airtight's 5th Birthday so we're continuing the celebrations on Sunday with a launch party at Matt & Phred's in Manchester, from 7 'til late, where we'll be able to hear some of the musicians who've recorded with us doing some live stuff. These should include members of the Earlies, Sara Lowes and King Creosote amongst others. Entrance is open to all, it's £3 on the door and should be a fantastic night full of wonderful music and a visual feast!Come and join us...

Great things in the pipeline for Airtight and for recording musicians in Manchester. After nearly 5 years of fantastic projects and exciting events, we're proud to soon be converting a second studio within Airtight Productions, fully equipped and equally capable of professional recording. The second studio will be orientated slightly more towards the programming and production side of things but we will still be adding a fully sound insulated dedicated live room next door....
And we're taking the opportunity to redesign and upgrade the existing studio and the building a little to make it even more of a cool space to be in!
WATCH THIS SPACE - we'll be doing some special introductory offers for the new studios, and we expect the new studio to be ready by the beginning of 2008!
Normal service in the main studio until then, of course...

Well it's been a crazy year since our last update here, the business is certainly breaking all our expectations. We've completed a number of Album projects including a new up and coming band called 'The Earlies' (well worth checking out, theearlies.com). The video production side has also taken off, recent DVD projects include artists such as Gary Numan, The Alarm, Dexys Midnight Runners, Tony Hadley, Sparks and Paul Carrack to name but a few with many more booked this year. All of these are done in conjunction with Manchesters newest TV and Film company, Dash Productions (www.dashproductions.co.uk)

We've just completed our first 6 months in business and to say it's been busy would be an understatment!

Finally we have got the new Airtight Productions website up and running, there will be updates and changes along the way but it's all looking spiffy!
Construction of the Studio is currently motoring ahead, as you can see to your right, with John the Builder (alas not Bob) doing a sterling job. We're looking at an early November opening with any luck, don't forget to sign up to the mailing list for regular updates.
One quick plug and reminder is that in two weeks time, October 11th, there is the next round of Manchester's finest club night 'FUSE', fully endorsed by Airtight Productions….mainly because one of the directors DJs there every now and again!
