INFORMATION FOR BANDS

We consider any project to be a band session if there are drum kits to be recorded. These rates might change otherwise.

RECORDING

Available for bands only in Studio A or Lock-Down

Lock-Down Rate (5 hours minimum)

$145/hr for 5 to 7 hours
$110/hr for 8+hours
Additional $15/hr for sessions ending after 10PM
Includes all rooms (1 Live Room and 6 booths) for maximum sound isolation, all rooms have windows to the live room so musicians can look at themselves.

Drum kit, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and keyboard available for free upon request. Scroll down for equipment list.

Typically, bands record between 1 and 2 songs in a day. Please keep in mind that it might take between 1 and 2 hours to do the complete setup for the band, which is counted as part of the session time. Using the studio’s instruments might let us start recording faster, since it is the equipment that is normally set up on a daily basis.

If recording takes less than 5 hours, the remaining time can be used for editing and mixing, or credited to your account to be booked in the future.

REHEARSAL SPACE

$45 per hour. Minimum 3 hours.
Additional $15/hr for sessions ending after 10PM.
Includes PA system, 8 channel mixer, and 2 vocal microphones.

EQUIPMENT

Please ask us about equipment availability at least one week before the day of your session, since some of it might be on hold for other sessions. Additional charges might apply depending on the equipment requested.
