AUDITIONS - FREE SPACE PROVIDED!
Musicians of all types face similar challenges – finding the right artist that fits their group and finding rehearsal space that is convenient, fully equipped, and has no volume limitations. We're hoping we can help musicians find the solution to these problems. Beginning in November 2009, we will be providing free studio space and studio time to musicians auditioning new talent. It is our commitment to the community.
Here's how it works:
·
· We block all four rehearsal rooms every 4th Saturday of each month starting November 28th from 4-10pm.
· All rooms will be provided a PA system, 3 microphones with stands and cables, 2 guitar amps, 1 bass amp, and a drum kit with cymbals. Drummer has to bring their crash cymbal, and drumstick.
· Each band will have 3 hours to audition players.
· All auditions will be on a first come, first served basis. For individual musician, click here to register. For bands, click here to register.
· For bands: You must book a rehearsal room with us once you’ve contacted and made appointment with players to audition. Format your audition time to 30 minutes per player. Be on time. Do not waste your studio time. Set up audition requirements for your potential players.
· CANCELLATION: Please contact us 3 days prior to your audition date.
SOUND LOFT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY REGISTRATION FOR ANY REASON.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS (Rehearsal)
"What can I say? Premiere rehearsal studio in Calgary. Comparable to the big leagues in CA. I moved here from CA in 1999, couldn't find a descent one. Then Sound Loft opened, if I'm not mistaken, months later, and I've been with these people since then. Amazing jam space! Clean, friendly couple running the place, all equipment provided for a small fee, rock and roll! I recommend it to all artists. You can rent equipment too and they provide sound production for your gig!" --- Phil J.
“Sound Loft is an excellent practice space, rooms are well equipped and include the PA and drum kit which is excellent. Rentals etc are also available if you need them. I would continue to use them to get an excellent space in which to practice. The sound proofing and equipment are really excellent. There isn't much that you need to do (even down to providing an input cable for MP3 players already attached to the mixing board, that was excellent!). Thanks for the space, every time we come out it's a great experience!” --- Jim Bourne
"The studio provides excellent rehearsal space and good gear. It's convenient and reasonably priced. The owners are very helpful and respond quickly to booking requests. It's a no hassle way of practicing without having to move equipment around or having to rent permanent space." --- Dr. Gerald Zamponi
“It's a great place to jam; great people, great atmosphere and a good deal! There is definitely a great community of musicans that use the place... very chill and very open. Because we got tired of the cops shutting our jams down at guy's house!... It's a good deal. $20 a head for 3 hours jam, we don't have to bring our amps, 'cause the stuff at the studio is pretty good... all mic'd in with the studio monitors, etc. You guys are the best... It didn't take long for the studio to feel like "ours". You definitely have our support.” --- Todd Wallace
"Manny & Merly have 4 studios available for almost any size band to rehearse and they are all kitted out with great equipment (Fender & Marshall amps as well as PA's, mixers & drum kits in each studio). Just bring your guitar & a cord & plug in." --- Dave Allen
"My hobby has been playing guitar for many years. Sound Loft adds way more to my enjoyment." --- Bill Rowe
