Modern Wave Studio
Took my daughter and son for their 9th birthday treat with some friends, to records 'Moves Like Jagger'. Absolutely fab experience and the kids thoroughly enjoyed and had a cd at the end of the day as a great memento. Matt was brilliant with the children, calm and cool with 10 9 year old children. The facilities are state of the art, and very important to me as a mum, CLEAN!!! The children want to do again. Cheers Matt

Recently had our first session at Modern Wave Studio and cannot recommend it highly enough. The location is perfect, The facilities are really comfortable and well equipped (it's the only studio I've ever been to with indoor parking!!!) and Matt is a complete expert in sound recording. We recorded a live session and we literally could not believe the quality of the recording Matt produced for us in the space of one evening. There's nowhere else that can provide the range and level of service of Modern Wave Studio and we'll definitely be going back!!!!

I am a Female Soloist on the South Staffs Circuit and I have had a CD recorded by Matt before, however this time I was looking to record tracks so that I could promote my new Wedding Singer Venture. I had 15 tracks recorded at Modern Wave Studio and the experience was second to none. Matt makes you feel welcome as soon as you call to arrange the session and works really hard so that you go away happy with something you can really be proud of. I would recommend this studio for all of your recording needs as the studio itself can cater for acts like myself to big bands. Matt works really hard to make sure that everyone is looked after and you have the quality recordings that you expect. Great service, great guy. Would recommend them to anyone. Cheers Beverley

When i first went to modern wave studios i didn't know what to expect. After studying music technology for a year at college i thought i knew a lot but after one 2 hour session with Matt he taught me more than i had learnt at my whole time at college. Each time i go i get more amazed at how much knowledge Matt has and the equipment on offer is outstanding. Overall i think that modern wave studio is an amazing contribution to leek, and offers people a once in a life time opportunity that you couldn't get anywhere else.

I have known Matt Ball for over 10 years and we started off as friends at college. Over the years our friendship grew and grew and I am now actually blown away at how amazing he has become as a producer. He also charges at very competitive rates. The last demo we recorded was the best we have done to date and I myself have done a massive amount of recording over the years in many different studios with many different producers. I dont want people to read this and think Im just saying these nice things because I am friends with matt, I mean every word I'm saying. In the studio he is the most professional I've ever seen him and he treated me no different from any of the other band members I work with. As soon as I have more money to pay for the recording fees, I will be recording again at his studio. Cheers for everything Matty! Your an absolute pleasure to work with! :D

I was introduced to Matt through a mutual friend as it was felt his services and studio would be of benefit to my company. In my line of work we have a need for recording studios and filming space (often with them being in different locations) we have to go to either Manchester, Birmingham or London. To find facilities of this quality with an internal engineer like Matt is a god send. We can now offer our clients the opportunity to come to the studio with us and see their production take place. Looking forward to a lot of exciting opportunities.

THE CHRISTIANS (Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Harvest for the World etc etc) hired Modern Wave to record their new album 'Speed of Life'. I can't rate it high enough ... first of all spacious, pretty impressive state of the art stuff .. brilliant sound .. Matt is a natural host ... he manages to be super efficient, helpful and accommodating without getting under your feet - his production skills are way beyond his years and WOW just generally loved the place and loved Matt. Its not the easiest of tasks delivering on Mr Garry Christian's expectations but somehow Matt Ball delivered over and above - oh ... and we really liked the price and you won't hear me saying that ever again. Emma Roberts ... manager THE CHRISTIANS

I was given some money for my birthday but wanted to "Do" something that would involve my friends and dancing so I visited Modern Wave Studios with my friends and we made a "Pop" video! I really didn''t know what to expect and was a bit nervous about being filmed, but after 10 minutes my friends and I really got really into the dancing with the help of the brilliant team there. They were so much fun, professional and really knew how to get the best out of us which made for a fantastic Video that I can keep forever! It really was one of the best birthday''s I have ever had and we all laughed so much all day with the team! I totally recommend a visit as the photography sessions we had done too, were amazing! They have all different kinds of props to choose from and I really was over the moon with the whole day. Thank you so much Modern Wave Studios it was a top day and my friends had a great time too! We will definitely be back

What can say, brilliant. I bought a gift voucher for my wife from Modern Wave Studio and she totally loved the experience from start to finish. Once she decided on the three tracks she wanted to record she placed herself in Matthew’s hands and he followed the process through with complete professionalism.

I came into contact with Modern Wave studios around a month ago, i really didn't know what to expect. When i entered the building i was greeted with the warmest welcome, and was chucked straight into the hands on aspect of mixing. With the help of Matt Ball i have learnt the basics of logic and pro tools within only 3 sessions, from no experience with music technology at all. Matt is extremely patient, and is a brilliant teacher, who puts in a great deal of enthusiasm into helping others. The equipment supplied is outstanding, and for a small town like leek this studio is definitely a blessing. I recommend this studio to anyone who is involved with music!!

Having spent a day in Modern Wave Studio recording with "The Players", I can say that this studio, which presents a positive and friendly atmosphere, has the facilities to bring out the best in any musician and performer. Matt from the studio guided us through the whole recording process, as well as giving us useful and musical advice as on how to enhance our track to its full potential. The master take, which was produced from the session, was of optimum sound quality, but the service didn't stop there. Matt, through his contacts, helped us to get our song on the radio. I would definitely recommend the studio, and shall be definitely returning. James Steele, saxophonist of "The Players"

We set out to replicate some of the more modern types of recordings that bands do (Green Day, Foo Fighters etc) and to our amazement Matt Ball managed to get this sound at a reasonable price. Practically the same thing you would get in a million dollar studio. Don't think, just book
