Grouped by topic. For legal detail see our terms and conditions and privacy policy.

Booking and quotes

How do I reserve a session?

Use the contact form, call +31 20 244 89 17 or email [email protected]. Within 2 working days you receive a time proposal and written quote. After acceptance and a 30 % deposit the session is scheduled.

Do I need a quote first?

Yes. Every booking starts with a written quote based on our rates. That way you know upfront which units (hour, half day, song) apply.

Can I record evenings or Sundays?

Regular hours: Monday–Friday 10:00–22:00, Saturday 11:00–18:00, closed Sunday. Sessions outside these hours on request.. Outside those times we schedule by agreement when the diary allows — mention it in your request.

How many guests can sit in control?

One or two visitors in the control room is typical. More may be possible with prior notice so monitoring and safety stay workable.

From what age can I book?

From age 16, provided a legal guardian books, pays and consents. Younger only by exception after discussion.

During the session

Is an engineer always present?

Yes, for every booked recording, mix or master session. We do not offer unattended room hire.

How long to record one song?

Vocals for a three- to four-minute pop track often take two to four hours including warm-up and comping. A well-prepared band can lay several basic tracks in a day — see band recording.

What if we need more time than booked?

Extensions only if the next slot is free and you ask. Extra time is billed at the service hourly rate.

Can I bring my own instruments?

Yes. The live room fits backline; tell us via contact if you bring large rigs.

Can I listen between takes?

Yes, in control or on headphones. For mix and master we plan listening sessions or send interim versions digitally.

Files and delivery

What file format do I get?

Usually 24-bit WAV at 48 kHz unless your project uses another sample rate. Stems and alternates are agreed in the quote — see mix delivery formats.

How long do you keep my sessions?

24 months on secure storage, then deleted unless agreed otherwise. Back up after download.

Can I take raw takes on my own drive?

Yes, if your drive is compatible and time allows after the session. Mention it when booking so we keep margin in the schedule.

Do you deliver podcast RSS or video?

We export audio in your podcast format; hosting and RSS stay with your platform. We do not shoot video in this studio.

How fast is mastering turnaround?

Allow a few working days after we receive the final mix, depending on load. Rush only by written agreement and possible surcharge.

Rights and use

Who owns the recordings?

After full payment for the agreed service we deliver files for your use per terms. The studio claims no rights in your music or lyrics.

May I post clips on social media?

Yes, from your own material. Tagging us is optional; ask at mix or master if you want help with loudness for clips.

What music is allowed in a podcast?

Only material you have rights or a licence for. Read podcast music rights before importing jingles.

Do you use recordings for AI training?

No. We do not use client audio to train machine-learning models and do not create voice clones without written consent.

Do you process guests' personal data?

Only what is needed for planning, invoicing and communication. Details in the privacy policy and cookie policy.

Payment and cancellation

Which payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer for deposit and balance; card in the studio where possible. IBAN and reference are on quote and invoice.

Can I cancel or move for free?

More than 7 days before: free. Inside that window the terms and conditions apply (including deposit treatment).

What if I am ill on recording day?

Tell us as soon as possible. We find a new date; more than 7 days out you keep the deposit, closer dates follow cancellation policy.

Are mix revisions included?

Yes, 2 written revision rounds per song for mixing. Extra hour: €75 incl. VAT. Mastering: one free revision round on mastering.
