Studio pricing can be tricky to know upfront as there are many factors that can influence the amount of time in studio and subsequent cost. Every project is different – some are finished in less studio time than others, this can be tailored to suit as you go. To receive a price estimate feel free to get in touch with some details about your project and we’ll aim to provide some more information.
Pricing
Studio Rate – $110 / hr (min session cost $220)
Session bookings range from 2hrs (min) to 5hrs (max). Studio rate includes anything & everything from recording and mixing through songwriting, instrumentation, etc.
Mastering – $110 / track
Note : We offer a 20% mastering discount for booking in 2 or more songs. Mastering occurs after the studio session, generally once clients have had a good listen through at home they will confirm they’re ready to finalise with mastering and from there it’s a ~3 – 5 business day turnaround to receive your master ready for sharing online.
