Is the $180 day rate all inclusive?

Yes. All equipment, instruments and engineer included.

How many hours are included in the day rate?

The $180 rate buys an 8 hour day. Studio hours are generally from 10am-10pm, but if you want to schedule a session outside that window, feel free to ask.

Can I have a tour of the studio?

Yes, just call to arrange one. The phone number is at the bottom of every page on this website.

Do you have any demo mp3's I can hear?

We sure do. Most of our clients have given us permission to use their tracks as promotional material. Just call or email to discuss your project so we can send you a relevant example.

Can our whole band record live at the same time?

Usually. We have a large tracking room, and since it is acoustically treated we can usually get away with tracking all of the basic tracks in the room at once.

Do you do mastering?

No. We believe it's important to have another set of ears involved in the mastering process.

What should I do to prepare for my session?

Make sure your instruments are in good shape and you are well rehearsed. Have background vocals and overdub parts figured out and rehearsed as well.

Can I use any of the instruments or amps at your studio?

Yes, of course. Our engineer is familiar with all of the instruments in our studio and would be happy to set any of them up for your use. If you are planning to use any of our instruments in particlar, it's a good idea to check on its status when scheduling your session.

Can I bring my friend/girlfriend/boyfriend/mom to my session?

Yes. You can bring anyone to your session as long as they behave in a respectful manner. Note that having friends or significant others in the studio during your session can be distracting and can sometimes negatively affect the end result. Carefully consider who you choose to invite to your session.

What happens if I'm late on the day of our session?

Do your best to arrive on time. This is difficult for many musicians as most musicians tend to exist in an alternate time-space approximately 30 minutes behind normal time-space. While we will often adjust to your schedule changes, we are not always able to.

Where and what do we eat?

There are not many restaurants in our area, and most of them don't deliver. Bring snacks! It may or may not be practical to stop for a meal break and we are out in the woods. Hungry musicians are generally cranky, and cranky musicians don't do well in the studio

Do you have any studio rules?

Yes. Be excellent to each other.
