When to book?
We recommend booking your session roughly 5 months in advance, particularly for longer sessions, but smaller sessions can sometimes be booked with less advance time.

When and how to pay?
We need 50% deposit to book a session. The balance will be collected upon your arrival at the blasting room (please bring payment with you).

For mastering, payment in full or credit card information is expected to arrive with tapes or files.

Call first to arrange credit card payment.

Studio day rates do not include staff engineer, which is required unless we have a long working history with the visiting engineer.

If your band is coming from a country other than the United States, we require a wire transfer for full payment of the session costs prior to the first day of the session.

If a label is paying for the recording, please put us in contact with the label, so that we may coordinate payment arrangements with them.
