When I attended the day at the Studio I recorded vocals, Matt, the engineer, didn't just make the cd sound amazing but he supported me and helped me reach my full potential. The CD sounds amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you very much. Olivia

I had a boxing walk in entrance track made by Matt of modern wave and I must say it was fantastic. I told Matt what I wanted and he pieced together a fine piece of music for me. Would recommend to anyone wanting a specific track making! I also had some pro pictures done for my boxing which were great. A friendly place that caters for all.

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

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

David Mckechnie.Pure Theatre,Cinemage,Sancho Panza I was introduced to Matt through a friend and was immediately invited down to check out Modern wave studios and was blown away by the place...live rooms...vocal booths...and a control room a lot of big studios would be envious of, overall a great environment to get creative in. Plus the added bonus of Matt who knows his stuff and is very enthusiastic and encouraging. I worked on some original songs with Matt who's input was second to none from production skills to musicianship...He's also a great Drummer. So if you're looking for full in house production or recording your band or you're a singer song writer with just ideas i highly recommend Modern wave....its got it all!

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.

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"

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.

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.

The studio is modern and spacious providing the ambiance for creativity whilst having the air of professionalism essential to master fine works. The studio has excellent support facilities for those on-going sessions, with a chill out area, full kitchen and shower facilities, there is just about everything you need to be comfortable. Matt is also an extremely talented musician and has a feel and understanding of what the artist is seeking which is reflected in the final production, he has the ability to add that little something that makes the difference between a good recording and a great one. No matter what level of performance you achieve presently, it will only be enhanced by a recording session at Modern Wave...you really should give it a try

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!!

I approached Matt for help towards a university project of mine, knowing that the results i would come away with would be exactly what i required. Due to my project specifics, the methods we used were focused completely around outboard gear, with no internal or post processing what so ever. Of recent i have been trying to spend as much time as i can at Modern Wave Studio and hope to be able to continue this for as long as possible, his work with other Artists/Bands is of the highest standard and would recommend Matt and Modern Wave Studio to anyone
