  • When does my session end? Can I go over my scheduled time?

    Your session end time is reflected in your email confirmation, meaning that if you booked, for example, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., your session ends at 2 p.m. We ask that you please clear out of the studio room no later than 5 minutes after your session time has ended. A prorated overage fee of $260 per hour will be charged for video sessions that run 15 minutes or more past their scheduled time. A prorated overage fee of $112 per hour will be charged for audio-only sessions that run 15 minutes or more past their scheduled time.

  • How does the studio record my audio?

    We record in multitrack with digital audio software and pro mixers/audio interfaces. This means every microphone being recorded has its own audio channel or track, and every channel/track results in an individual studio quality, 24 bit WAV audio file. So, for example, if your party of three records in our studio, you will receive three separate, synched studio-quality WAV audio files.

    We also provide a stereo mixdown file that features all recorded tracks. And we record a backup session on a digital audio recorder. Does this sound complicated? No worries, we make it easy!
