From age 16 you can book and pay yourself. Younger clients need a legal guardian to contract and attend the session. Podcasts with minors are processed only with consent as described in the privacy policy and optional DPA.

For a three- to four-minute vocal we usually plan two to four hours including warm-up and comping. Well-prepared artists with lyrics and pitch sorted often finish faster. Tips are in vocal prep.

One or two guests in the control room are welcome. More people on the live floor only when it fits the safety limit of 6 musicians plus visitors; discuss beforehand via contact.

We have a drum kit, digital piano, guitar and bass amps and headphones. We do not lend guitars or basses; use our amps or bring your own. Band load-in via the rear door: load-in guide.

Extensions only when you ask and the next slot is free. Extra time is billed per started half hour at the booked service hourly rate, incl. VAT.

Monday–Friday 10:00–22:00, Saturday 10:00–18:00, Sunday closed. Outside those hours we work by appointment when the quote lists an evening or weekend slot. Sunday is closed by default.

Via secure download link or upload to your cloud when you grant access. Large band sessions can be copied to an external drive you bring; mention that on the quote.

24 months after the last session or delivery for that job. Then we delete files from our servers. Back up yourself; we are not liable for loss after that period. See article 11.

Export per track, no processing on the master bus, clear names. Preferred formats and folder layout are in stems and formats. Unsure: send a test zip before the deadline on your quote.

2 revision rounds per track after the first mixdown or master. One round is one bundled list of notes. Extra rounds or new recordings are quoted as additional work. See mixing and mastering.

After full payment of the agreed fee, recordings we make for you are yours, to the extent the law allows. We do not claim copyright in your music. Exceptions for bespoke composed music are in the terms.
