PIRATE.COM is the world’s largest creative studio and artist community network with close to 50 locations across the UK, DE, US and IE. We offer professional rehearsal equipment and the space to create at affordable, hourly rates. Crush your band rehearsal, perfect your stage presence before a gig, or use them as your private drum practice room. For anyone with an interest in solo or band rehearsal, regardless of your ethnicity, sexuality, gender or social status — this space is yours.

Session recording available at selected sites only — look out for the 'Live recording with OpenLIVE' banner when you make a rehearsal studio booking.

OpenLIVE’s innovative recording technology is here. The automated system takes a snapshot of your session and applies its intuitive magic to mix and master it. You’ll then receive the finished version via cloud storage for you to download.

How to use OpenLive

Look for the OpenLIVE logo when booking a session. Once selecting a compatible room, you’ll be asked whether you wish to proceed with OpenLIVE enabled.

After your session, you’ll be sent a link to the online editing app. Then, you can chop and choose your best bits.
