Welcome to
Do It Ourselves Studios

We are a north-west based agency & Recording, Rehearsal and DJ studio with a community ethos. 

It's not DIY, it's DIO.

Whether you need Recording or filming, a space to rehearse or help with your live show or productions, Do It Ourselves embraces the spirit of community in our approach to music and audio. With decades of experience in the grass roots music industry, we believe we've crafted the best services to help you on your creative journey.

 - Acoustically treated Rehearsal spaces for your band practice, equipped with industry standard equipment for you to rehearse your set ready for your gig. You can even demo your new songs with the mixer's inbuilt multitrack recording capability.

 - A DJ studio (The Snug) equipped with club standard Pioneer flagship gear, in a soundproofed room, on a powerful, crystal clear system means you'll be able to perfect your selections, sets or scratches on the best equipment for a reasonable price. Our friends @thesnug.mcr will even livestream your set for you.

- The Recording Studio is the heart of Do It Ourselves with its beautiful 4m windows, tall ceilings and moody lighting. It's not all aesthetics though, our hybrid recording system hosts 32 channels of analogue goodness with the convenience of a digital setup, routed through multiple ADAT connections to many classic and cutting edge outboard units. Book in with our in house engineer for recordings and productions or plug in your laptop via USB and access the whole system to bring your music or project to life.

 

Our spaces are designed with productivity and comfort in mind and there's always someone on hand to help you hone your craft. 

Remember it's not "Do It Yourself" it's "Do It Ourselves", together as a community.
