BOOKING POLICIES

I believe that flexible payment & booking policies help make for a successful project and a satisfying studio experience.

So, providing you don't abuse the privilege:

  • You pay only for the time you actually use.
  • There are no deposits or cancellation fees.
  • If you come late you won't be charged for the time you missed.
  • Breaks for rest or meals are free if I can take them with you!
These apply to the hourly rate only. Block and  day bookings are at lower rates, but with restrictions.

RATES

RECORDING/MIXING/MASTERING ............$42/hr. plus media

REMOTE RECORDING
.....................................$50/hr. plus media
Additional editing & processing (if requested) will be charged at the in-studio rate.
You own the original tapes and may take them to any studio you wish for editing & processing.
Setup, packup and travel time will be charged at $50/hour. Setup includes sound checks and other applicable procedures. Travel charges are round-trip, based on normal traffic conditions.

BLOCK RATE: 16-hour block................................$38/hr. plus media
The 16-hour block can be spread over any time period you want, so it's a great way to reduce your cost without sacrificing flexibility. I've had clients use a few hours and come back a year later to use the rest! But note that payment for the entire block is due up-front, and is non-refundable.

DAY RATE...............................................................$300 for 10 hours, plus media.
This is the lowest rate, but also carries the most restrictions. The 10 hours must be used within a 12-hour period (two hours allowed for breaks if desired) or additional hourly charges may apply at my discretion. "Overtime" will be charged at $35/hour for the first 2 hours, and $42/hour thereafter. The $300 is due up-front and is non-refundable.



Payment Terms
  1. Payment for each hourly session is due at the end of the session.
  2. Block and day payments are due in full at or before the beginning of each block or day, and are non-refundable.
  3. The minimum amount of billable time is one hour.
