FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Studio Time (Recording Services, and Mixing/Mastering Services): How it works... Standard studio time is charged on a flat rate hourly basis of $50 per hour. Please note: that mixing/mastering is a separate process/service from recording! Mixing/Mastering determines the final outcome of your project, and how good the recordings end up sounding. It is advised to leave enough time for Mixing/Mastering when booking your session. (Suggested time to adequately mix/master a track is 1-2 hours) Example: Lets say you booked 2 Hours of studio time... And it ends up taking the whole 2 hours to record the song. Since you only booked 2 hours of studio time, the engineer will not mix or alter the recording any further then what was accomplished in those 2 hours. However, if you had booked 3 hours of studio time, you would have an extra hour to sit down and mix your song with the engineer. This ensures that you get a product you are satisfied with.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Things to Know in Advance: Booking Studio Time: A mandatory (2 hour minimum) is required in order to book studio time at Sound Shack Studios. There is also a 25% non-refundable deposit required to confirm that your session is booked. If no deposit is made, your session will NOT be booked. Rescheduling a Session: You booked your studio time, you made the deposit, and you are ready to record/mix! But something pops up and you need to reschedule. No problem! Please provide 24 hour noticed to the studio before cancelling/rescheduling a session. If no advanced notice is given you will be charged the full amount for the studio time booked.
