NoStairway Media is a multi-purpose production company specialising in music creation, voice-over production and video production; it even works as a recording studio! I have currently been a Production Assistant for this company for just under five months and have learned an incredible amount on how a professional production company works on a day to [...]
How NoStairway fit into the definition of the word Recording Studio
According to the dictionary the word recording means ‘Something on which sound or visual images have been recorded’ while studio stands for ‘An establishment where an art is taught or studied’. Combining these two words the definition signifies a workplace for the teaching and practice of audio or visual art. NoStairway Media fits perfectly into [...]
How do I get into voice over?
We’ve been asked this question on several occasions – “my friends say I have a nice voice, how do I get into voice over?” Well, let me tell you. In short, you don’t, or should I say, you can’t. Voice over studios often jealously guard any good voice over artist they have because they know [...]
Let’s create some music!
As a recording studio we love to hear a range of musicians, from classical opera to tribute singers and classic pop. Our Managing Director originally started NoStairway as a music creation house, after spending his early career as a musician himself. Travelling the UK with his classical guitar and solo tribute act he soon realised [...]
Everything you always wanted to know about Recording Studios but were too afraid to ask
Since the move to our much larger studio space we’ve been busy building what we feel is the coolest recording studio in town. Building a recording studio an education in itself; the process isn’t as straight forward as it may seem. Every space has its own acoustic qualities that can aid or hinder most recording [...]

A sonic logo (also known as audio/music/sound/acoustic branding) is a short distinctive melody or sequence of sound acting as an acoustic equivalent/enforcer of a visual logo [...]
Our video production studio is host to some pretty big players.
One of the main reasons for moving to our new studio premises was the opportunity to work more closely with Broadcast Project Research, or BPR. BPR’s John Emmett is a veritable gold mine of knowledge when it comes to the broadcast industry and video/audio production. Nostairway staff never hesitate to seek his advice on technical [...]
Practice makes Perfect
We have spoken about this quite a lot in prior blogs but so many artists believe it’s easy to record a demo. That you can walk straight into a recording studio and the engineer will be able to produce a masterpiece without the band even knowing how to play the track. It is key to [...]
What’s so great about running a recording studio?
Running a recording studio seems, on the face of it, a pretty cool job, and it often is. One of the most pleasurable aspects is the amount of interesting artists and music we get to encounter close up. We record a lot of singers and often it’s like having your own private concert for free. [...]
Recording Studio with a story to tell
Its beginning to feel more like spring with the sun shinning outside and the diary becoming fuller by each passing week. Working as a recording studio we often get a mix of clients, from voiceover artists, singers, bands and even sometimes all at once. Today the recording studio was alive with several Arts Educational School [...]
