Approved overtime is billed separately and is subject to the studio calendar and staff availability. Online booking runs from 7 AM to 10 PM; sessions between 10 PM and 7 AM are by approval and add a $25-per-hour late-night premium.

Rates current as of August 5, 2026. Confirmed bookings retain their written price and scope.

Before you begin

Prepare the session before the clock starts.

Before booking, we only need enough information to confirm the right session tier and protect the calendar.

  1. 01

    Choose your preferred date, duration, and Standard or Full-Band recording tier.

  2. 02

    Share the performer and instrument count plus the general goal for the session.

  3. 03

    Let us know whether you expect playback files, special monitoring, video, or post-production.

After booking

After the booking is confirmed and required payment is received, we’ll send the full technical intake for input lists, files, plugins, cue mixes, deliverables, uploads, and session access.

Booking essentials

Good to know.

These are the core controls for standard recording bookings. The approved quote and recording confirmation govern any unusual or complex session needs.

01

Payment

A 50% booking retainer is required to reserve the session. The approved remaining balance is due before or at session start.

02

Rescheduling

Two-hour sessions generally require at least 48 hours notice to transfer once. Four-hour tracking blocks generally require 72 hours.

03

Session clock

Booked time includes load-in, requested setup, soundcheck, recording, breaks, playback, immediate file handling, and load-out. Late arrival does not extend the session.

04

Files

Rough references, final mixes, stems, raw multitracks, and native sessions are separate deliverables. Final and source files release after approved balances are paid; clients must maintain independent backups.
