Whether you live in Teignmouth, Cullompton, Crediton, Tiverton, Plymouth or even Bristol, Exeter City Centre is an easy to reach location. Whether by road or by public transport, we are a short walk from all the main public transport links.
Sliding Scale of Pricing
As a community studio, affordability and accessibility is important to us. That’s why we have introduced a sliding scale, with a full rate of up to £300 per day for a day's songwriting with Nick.
Factors such as the how many instruments are involved and the extent of songwriting are considered. The price for adding a bit of guitar will be priced lower than taking a vocal melody and developing a fully-arranged song. Our quote to you will be based on the level of work involved.
Get in touch to discuss your project with our friendly team and we’ll quote you based on your situation and requirements.
Turn Your Idea Into a Release-Ready Song
Contact us and tell us what your needs are
Not everyone arrives at the studio with a finished song—and that's perfectly okay.
At The Source Studio, Songwriter & Session Band Leader Nick Hall specialises in helping artists transform a simple idea into a professionally produced recording. Whether you have a vocal melody recorded on your phone, a few lyrics in a notebook, or the beginnings of a chorus that won't leave your head, we'll work with you to develop your idea into a song you'll be proud to release.
Music production is about much more than pressing record. It's about discovering the potential in your ideas, shaping your sound and creating a track that reflects your personality as an artist.
From Inspiration to Finished Record
Every great song starts somewhere. For some artists it's a guitar riff, for others it's a vocal melody hummed into a phone while walking home. Wherever your inspiration begins, we'll help you take the next step.
Working together, we can help you:
- Develop your melody into a complete song
- Write chord progressions that complement your vocals
- Build the structure of your song, including verses, choruses and bridges
- Create arrangements that suit your musical style
- Add drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and other instruments
- Refine lyrics and song dynamics
- Prepare your music for recording
- Record professional vocals and live instruments
- Mix and master your finished track, ready for release
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced songwriter looking for fresh creative input, our aim is always the same: to help you create music that feels authentic and exciting.
Collaboration Without Taking Over
Some producers impose their own style on every artist. We don't.
At The Source Studio, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We listen carefully to your influences, your ideas and the sound you're trying to achieve. Our role is to guide, encourage and offer creative solutions while ensuring your music remains unmistakably yours.
Whether you're inspired by indie, rock, punk, alternative, acoustic, pop or heavier genres, we'll work together to create a production that fits your vision.
Perfect for New Artists
Many first-time artists worry that they don't know enough to book studio time.
The truth is, you don't need a finished demo or years of songwriting experience to get started.
If you have a melody, a lyric, a voice or simply an idea you believe in, we can help you develop it into a professional recording from the ground up. We'll explain every stage of the process, making your first studio experience enjoyable, creative and rewarding.
