Why are bands using Hothouse Rehearsal? Here’s what they’re telling us. “The equipment always works”. “Has the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a rehearsal studio”. “The staff is super attentive.” “Best sounding and maintained rehearsal rooms.” But mostly they say it’s because the “Hothouse cares about the artist and their rehearsal”. You owe it to your band to come tour the hothouse facility and find out for yourself.

Dramarama
Gives Ellen De Generes
A Million Dollar Performance
Did you see Dramarama on the Ellen De Generes show today? If you did, you saw them give Ellen a million dollar performance of “Anything Anything (I’ll Give You)”. Mark, Pete, Mike and Tony were cranking out the music and John gave a spectacular vocal performance. His voice was so clear and strong. While I was watching I could feel the power and the energy of the song being transmitted through my TV. I can image what the live audience felt. They must have been blown away. Maybe a friend recorded it or you can find it on the net, but you’ve got to see this performance.

Great PerformancesStart at Rehearsal
Balance Your Sound pt. 3
At your next rehearsal try this approach from the very beginning. Turn the guitar amps and bass amps to zero. Have the vocalist begin singing through the PA system. The PA system is the singers amp. Ask the rehearsal studios staff to set the PA volume for you. Ask them to set the PA system to the loudest it will go before feeding back for you. At the same time have your drummer begin playing along with the vocals. You want the singers to be heard over the drums. Lower the volume of the drummer until the singers can be heard. Keep the drummer and the vocalists going and now begin adding bass volume. Get that bass volume right there with the kick drum. Next bring up the volumes on each of your guitars until they can be heard but not overpowering the vocal. Rehearse with this balanced sound and get use to how it sounds and feels. Individually your volumes will be lower but as a band your sound will be more powerful. Write down your amp settings. In no time you’ll start hearing that pro sound coming out of your rehearsal room. You can use this approach anywhere, great PA system or dumpy systems.
