Artist Case Studies

Recording at The Source Studio Exeter

Every artist who comes through The Source Studio Exeter has a different story, sound and reason for making music.

Our artist case studies take you behind the scenes with some of the bands and musicians we've worked with in Exeter and across Devon — from first-ever recording sessions and debut singles to EPs, live recordings and complete release projects.

Discover how we've helped artists with rehearsals, recording, mixing and mastering, photography, EPKs, publishing, release planning and promotion, and hear about their experiences working with us.

Whether you're preparing to record your first single, make an EP or take your band to the next stage, these are real projects from real artists making music at The Source Studio.
