    • The instrumental or beat to be ready for the session;

  • Mixing can be done during your session as long as it's accounted for within your booked time. Mastering is completed separately after the session for an additional fee. Several factors influence how long the mixing process will take, including the length of the session, the complexity of the song, and the number of individual tracks. Mixing is billed at the same hourly rate as the recording session.

    Alternatively, mixing can be scheduled and completed outside of your session for an additional fee. Please see here for more information about our mixing services

    We encourage our clients to coordinate with the engineer or producer in advance to discuss their project and tailor the process to their needs.

  • Currently we cannot accommodate full band setups. We have however worked with numerous groups and musicians to record bass, vocals, guitars, keyboards and most other instruments and produced high quality, industry-ready tracks. At this time, we cannot record drums in our studios. Please contact us ahead of time to discuss your specific needs so that we can best support your work and get you the professional sound and vibe you want. And if we don’t have what you need or there are more efficient options, we’ll tell you that as well.

  • Beats created during a production session remain the property of the producer unless exclusive rights are purchased. Your session fee covers the time and creative service, not ownership. If you'd like full ownership and exclusive rights to the beat, that can be arranged for an additional fee. Otherwise, the beat is considered a collaborative work and will be subject to a royalty split between the artist and the producer. We’re happy to discuss the best option for your goals before your session.
