Hi all,
I know there is endless information on this Forum about who has recorded what and how and with what equipment, those who have done it themselves and those who have been fortunate enough to have facilities close at hand.

Recording is all a new world to me, but I am determined to get my finger out and make a proper CD. I know I've been saying this for some time, but now it's down in black and white it'll encourage me to just DO IT!

I really don't know where to start. I have Googled recording studios... but I thought this would be the best place to come for advice and support from those who know.

Are there recording studios which are friendly to unaccompanied traditional singers? I have a terror of being over-produced :(
Do they do the whole thing, art work etc.? What does it cost? (whisper it).

Any information and help gratefully received :)

I live in the West Midlands, UK.
