Frequently asked questions

Grouped by topic. If this page differs from your quote, the terms and conditions and the quote prevail.

Booking and payment

How do I book a session?

Use the contact form, call 020 737 1846 or email [email protected]. Within 1 working day we send a slot proposal and written quote. After acceptance and a 25% deposit the slot is firm.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer for deposit and balance; card in the studio where available. Business clients pay within 14 days of invoice unless agreed otherwise. IBAN is on quote and invoice.

When do I pay the balance?

Consumers pay on session day or on delivery of post-production, as stated in the quote. Until full payment we may withhold final masters or exports — see terms.

How long is a quote valid?

By default 1 × 30 days after sending, unless the quote states a shorter period. After that, prices or availability may change.

Can my company get a VAT invoice?

Business clients receive an invoice with incl. and excl. 21% VAT where applicable. Provide your trade register and VAT ID with the enquiry.

Cancellation and rescheduling

How late can I cancel for free?

Up to 7 days before start you can cancel or move at no charge; on cancellation the deposit is refunded within fourteen days.

What happens within seven days of the session?

Between 7 days and 72 hours before start you may reschedule once within three months. On cancellation the deposit compensates the reserved slot.

What if I am late or do not show up?

Within 72 hours or on no-show the quoted fee for that slot remains due unless force majeure applies. Late arrival shortens the session if the next slot is booked.

How do I request cancellation?

In writing to [email protected] with your name, quote reference and whether you cancel or move. We confirm by email.

Do I have a cooling-off period as a consumer?

Remote bookings generally allow fourteen days to withdraw. For sessions on a fixed date, the right may end once performance starts at your request. See terms, withdrawal article.

During the session

How long does it take to record one song?

For vocals on a three- to four-minute track, plan two to four hours including setup and takes. A prepared band can lay several basic tracks in one day — see band budget guide.

How many musicians fit in the live room?

Up to 6 at once, each with a separate headphone mix. Larger setups: discuss upfront via contact.

Can I bring someone along?

One or two guests in control is normal. More visitors need prior agreement so focus and safety stay intact.

What if we run over time?

Extension only if you ask and the next slot is free. Extra time is billed per hour or day rate as on services, e.g. €135 after band day rate.

From what age can I book on my own?

From 16. Younger participants need written consent from a parent or guardian and an adult present for the whole session.

Files, delivery and archive

What format do you deliver?

Usually 24-bit WAV at 48 kHz or your project sample rate. Mix and mastering as agreed in the quote; podcast exports in common podcast formats.

How do I receive files?

Via secure download link or to your cloud when stated in the quote. Check within a few days that everything opens in your DAW.

How long do you keep sessions?

6 months after last activity on the project. Then we delete our copy. Longer storage can be agreed in writing for a fee.

How many revisions are included in mix or mastering?

By default 2 revision rounds per mix or master project; one round means one bundled feedback list. Extra rounds are quoted, e.g. €35 for mastering.

Where are tips for delivering stems?

In our mix stems guide and on mixing. Incomplete sources can extend turnaround.

Rights, privacy and practical

Who owns the recordings?

After full payment, recordings made for you are for you; we claim no rights in your music. Details and exceptions are in terms and mastering and rights.
