Keep doors closed and respect other musicians in the studios.
If you switch them on, remember to turn off the air-con, or heater fan, before you leave.
It is okay to have the odd drink while you are at our studios, but keep all liquids away from the equipment and if there are any spillages, make sure they are cleaned up straight away. Blue roll can be found in the kitchen.
