Frequently asked questions

Short answers by topic. Terms and privacy policy are authoritative; rates are on services.

Booking

How do I reserve studio time?

Send an enquiry via contact, call 01 545 08 23 or email [email protected]. Within 2 business days you get a slot suggestion and written quote. The booking is firm once you accept and pay the 30% deposit.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer for deposit and balance; card in the studio by arrangement. Details appear on quote and invoice. Business clients: 14-day net term.

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Free up to 5 days before the agreed start. After that, cancellation rules in our terms apply — including force majeure and no-shows.

How fast do you reply to email?

We aim for 2 business days for a first reply with quote or clarifying questions. Last-minute slots are checked individually; availability is not guaranteed until the deposit arrives.

Can minors record?

From 16 with consent from a legal guardian who books and pays. Below that only with written consent and an accompanying adult for the whole session.

During the session

Should I arrive on time?

Yes. Booked time starts at the agreed hour; lateness shortens the session unless the next slot is free. Arrive a few minutes early for check-in and setup.

Can I bring guests?

One or two people in the control room are usually fine. Larger groups need advance notice so space and volume stay workable.

Do you provide instruments?

Core backline for bands and podcast setups is on site; see band recording and podcast recording. Your own instruments and favourite snares are welcome.

What if we run over time?

Extensions only by agreement and when no follow-up booking waits. Extra time is billed at the booked service hourly rate shown on the quote.

Do I need my own headphones?

No — 6 sets are available in the live room. Bring your usual pair if you prefer, after a quick check with the engineer.

Files and delivery

What file format do I receive?

Default: 24-bit WAV at 48 kHz unless agreed otherwise. Mix and master delivery is defined in the quote; format notes: master delivery formats.

How long do you keep sessions?

18 months after the last relevant appointment or handover, then deletion from the studio archive. Keep your own backups — see privacy policy.

Can I take raw multitracks away?

Yes when included or booked separately. Large transfers use download links or your drive; transfer time may fall outside studio hours.

How does remote mixing work?

You send stems or session exports with clear names and tempo info. We work offline and send listening versions for approval; attended hours are available at the mixing rate.

Do you offer Dolby Atmos?

Not as a standard service. Stereo mix and master are our focus; immersive formats only by separate quote.

Rights and revisions

Who owns the recordings?

After full payment for the agreed service, usage rights pass to you as set out in our terms. The studio does not claim rights in your works.

How many revision rounds are included?

2 structured feedback rounds on mixing and mastering within agreed scope. Further changes or rem mixes are quoted by effort.

May the studio show my work?

Only with your written approval per project. Without consent we do not use your titles in portfolio or social channels.

Do you train AI on client audio?

No. Client recordings are not used to train generative models; voice cloning without explicit written consent from the person concerned is not offered.

What about samples and covers?

You handle clearances and PRO reporting unless agreed otherwise in writing. We may flag audible sample risks in session but do not provide legal advice.

Rates and practical matters

Do prices include VAT?

Yes — gross figures include 20% VAT. Net amounts are shown alongside, e.g. €87.50 net and €105 gross for one hour of Vocal recording.

Are there packages or discounts?

Half-day and day rates are published on service pages, e.g. €369 for four hours of vocals or €829 band day. Volume discounts only in written quotes, not as automatic online rebates.

Are Sunday sessions possible?

Monday–Friday 10:00–20:00, Saturday 10:00–16:00; closed Sunday. Evening sessions by appointment. Sunday is closed; weekday evenings by appointment. Public holidays as described in our terms.
