What the studio rate covers
Podcast recording is €96 per hour including studio and engineer — table mics, routing, basic monitoring and export of a session mix or simple per-voice tracks as agreed. Edit-only without recording: €62 per hour.

Define the format
Choose solo, two-person interview or a three-to-four guest roundtable. Set target length (e.g. 35–45 minutes raw for a 30-minute show), segments (intro, body, outro) and whether stings are live or added in edit.
Send guests a short agenda and ground rules (phones silent, no typing on the table). Narrated intros from a booth can use vocal recording separately — not required for normal table talk.
Table tech and comfort
Separate mics and optional headphones keep voices clean even when everyone laughs. Avoid clinking glass on the table; water in stable cups is fine. Rustling paper near a mic also picks up easily — use thicker notebooks or pause before turning pages.
We have 6 headphone sets on site; guests who dislike self-monitoring can skip it. Loud keyboard typing during recording adds edit time — handwritten notes between segments work better.
Remote guests and hybrid
If someone cannot be in Wien, decide upfront whether they record locally elsewhere or everyone listens to a line in the room. Unplanned hybrid often means echo or doubled voices. We will say plainly what the table setup can and cannot fix — bad connectivity on site is not a studio problem.
Legal: consent from every speaker to record and publish; guest lists only as needed — see privacy policy.
Edit, chapters and export
Light edit can run at €62 per hour: trim silence, rough assembly, WAV or MP3 export by agreement. Chapter marks for Apple Podcasts or Spotify need your timecodes — we do not invent them without a list.
Spoken-word loudness targets differ from music masters; shows with heavy music stings may need mixing and master delivery formats for those elements.

Practical Vienna notes
Many teams arrive via U4 Pilgramgasse — allow time for bags and briefing. Evening slots suit after-work guests; Saturday until Mon–Fri 10–20, Sat 10–16. Parking in Margareten is tight; public transport is often faster.
Corporate shows with internal approval: name one approver and a 2-day feedback window so edit is not stuck. B2B payment term 14 days possible.

- Format, target length, guest count (max 4 at the table).
