Good to know

01What is included in a day?

Ten hours in the rooms you booked, an engineer and an assistant, every microphone and instrument in the house, and rough mixes to take home.

02Do you charge for tape?

Two-inch tape is sold at cost, about one reel per three songs. Digital sessions have no extra costs.

03Can we stay late?

Overtime after ten hours is charged per hour at one tenth of the day rate, only if both sides agree.

04How do we hold a date?

A deposit of thirty percent holds the dates. It is refunded in full if you cancel more than three weeks before.

05Do you have a band discount?

Lockout weeks are cheaper per day, and unsigned bands get the weekday rate at weekends in January and February.
