Stocks Studios

Studio

If you've always wanted to record an affordable singing / instrumental / band demo disc, then look no further!

Established in 2004, our company can be a fully mobile recording unit using 16-track simultaneous recording, 24-bit technology and industry standard audiophile quality outboard equipment serving bands, classical ensembles, schools, colleges, choirs, voice overs and other.

We can come along and record your gig live so that every essence is captured and relived! Maybe you just want to record the drums and put down your own individual tracks after, in your own time, building up the tracks. You can record as much or as little as you like.

If you're not part of a band and are a soloist then dont worry. Bring your backing track(s) to us, or we can supply, and we will overdub your own vocals in our studio. Maybe you belong to a duo/trio with live guitars/keyboards that need adding. The possibilities are endless and your choice....

We will work with you throughout, making sure that the sound created is what YOU are after. Once recording has finished, and at a later date, you will be presented with a CD to listen and make comments on the mix etc. if any at all. When you are happy with the results you will be given a final CD (with on body printing if you wish). We can duplicate a small quantity of CD’s for your personal use at an extra charge.

The Studio has been in business for almost 4 years and is independent. It's located on Canvey Island, ESSEX, and owned and run by Clayton Stocker with help from his brother, Mark. Although small in size, it makes an ideal location for recording vocals, string quartets/guitars and most individual instruments. We can also accommodate you're own backings (audio or midi) to record with if you so wish. This friendly, helpful and relaxed atmosphere will appeal to beginners and professionals alike and provide an affordable and efficient service.

Clayton has 20 years extensive knowledge of playing in bands covering many genres including different styles of Jazz, 50's Rock'n'Roll, 60's era, Greek and Spanish. His forte is Jazz Double Bass and Keyboard. He has supported names such as Ted Heath Big Band, Cy Lawrie, The Beverley Sisters, and more recently toured with the show 'A tribute to ELVIS'. Mark has a wide knowledge base of guitars, amps and musicianship accurately recreating guitar sounds in his current band and can play many styles which precisely replicate his influences. Mark plays professionally and also offers tuition for music theory, guitar and bass lessons.

Every project is bespoke and made just for you, therefore it is impossible to publish accurate pricing details. Please contact via email for more information via the CONTACT page.

Just for fun or for aspiring singers of any age and ability - from 5 to 95! Professional results mixed and mastered on a personalised souvenir CD which you will take home with you.

Imagine recording your favourite song in a professional recording studio singing to a backing track and having your voice mixed by a recording engineer. No previous experience is required, simply arrive and sing your vocals over the backing track of your choice.

Our studio is professionally equipped and our recording experience is a fantastic gift for you or your family and friends. A GIFT VOUCHER can be presented and sent for those want to book for someone else and surprise them.We want you to really experience all the enjoyment and excitement of making a recording, right from the initial outset of walking into the studio to hearing your voice put down on a CD.

On arrival you will be greeted, made comfortable and have a brief introductory chat about what to expect from your time with us. Once you are happy and relaxed you will then start to record your vocals. This is normally done in sections to ensure the finished result is perfect and you can take as many attempts as you feel are needed. When you are finished you can help at the mixing desk or simply sit back with refreshments while your CD is being produced. Extra copies of the CD can be purchased at a small cost.

Allow yourself approx three hours for your experience but you may find that it will finish earlier (depending on your talent!). Please do not arrive too early because an earlier session may still be in progress.

Vocal coach can be offered at additional cost

Contact Us

You can contact us on the CONTACT us page from the website. We are happy to answer any queries or bookings you have.

Professional Standards

We can draw on our professional knowledge which will help you as a customer and we pride ourselves on our customer care and reliability.

Custom Service

All of our customers have different needs so each project is bespoke to you. We can help, for example, by advising on selecting the right size venue for a live recording, what amplification will be required when hiring our P.A., can advise a selection of tunes for your demo disc. A sound engineer will be on hand when hiring our P.A.

Our Commitment

We want to help and make your experience with us a pleasant one, which can include meetings with you, a demonstration of our studio, examples of work or a detailed breakdown.

What things should I consider when booking studio time?

We will help when you make an enquiry but if you are solo/duo/trio, here are some things to think about:-

  • number of tracks you would like to record

  • do you know the songs backwards and upside down as this will significantly reduce time and have a better result overall

  • choice of songs

  • should you book by the hour or a full day


  • If a live band, here are some other things to think about:-

  • number of tracks you would like to record

  • do you know the songs backwards and upside down as this will significantly reduce time and have a better result overall

  • choice of songs

  • does the venue have good acoustics

  • will you only want to record drums and build up tracks individually at your own leisure in our studio


  • How can I be sure that I am getting good quality?

    Currently we have two professionals employed, both of whom are working musicians, who have technical skill, musicianship and reliability. We will work with you throughout, making sure that the sound created is what YOU are after. Once recording has finished, and at a later date, you will be presented with a CD to listen and make comments on the mix etc. if any at all. When you are happy with the results you will be given a final CD with on body printing if you wish.

    How is Stocks Studios different…?

    Being performers ourselves, we understand all aspects of live performance and entertainment. We know what sounds good - and what doesn't! We offer true value for money, real peace of mind and reliability.

    How to make a booking

    Contact us via the CONTACT page with your details and we will respond back to you. After discussion, and when you are ready to make a booking, we will send an email or letter for confirmation. This will state the details of your booking and the agreed fee. If making a block booking of 16 hours or over we ask that you pay a booking deposit of 20%. Any payment requested from you will be supported by a Sales Receipt.

    What if I want to cancel my booking?

    Unfortunately, we cannot return booking deposits but we can re-schedule for another time that suits you better.

    How much will it cost?

    Each project we take on on will be bespoke to you so prices will vary. When we have all of your ideas down and what requirements you need a price will be given which you will find very competitive.

    Should I be worried about anything?

    No need. On the day we will help you relax and lose your inhibitions. Refreshments are available also. You can bring someone along with you for support – infact we insist you bring a parent or guardian if under 16 years of age. At anytime, you may contact us about any concerns you may have. We will be pleased to help.
