Frequently asked questions
How long is each session?
Each recording session is 2 hours. This is usually plenty of time for an artist to finish one or two songs.
How many songs can I record in one session?
As many as you'd like! Quality should always be the first priority, but if you come prepared you'll likely be able to record 2 or more songs in a session.
Can I see the studio before deciding?
Absolutely! Schedule a tour here: www.recordsos.com/tour
What if I already have someone who mixes for me?
No worries! You're not obligated to use our discounted mixing and mastering. It's totally cool for you to record yourself in the studio and send your mixes somewhere else.
Can I reserve time back-to-back?
You can totally schedule sessions back to back ahead of time, although reserving multiple sessions will cost $50 per session.
Are there any discounts?
We're doing everything we can to keep costs as low as possible for everyone, so we don't normally offer any particular discounts.
How much could this really save me?
A LOT!
Let's do some math...
How much did this horrible scenario cost you?
$00 for your free setup session
$50 for the first session
$50 for the second session
(if you're a vocalist with beats, even more savings if you're recording instruments)
Okay, let's discuss a much more realistic scenario. Although your first session will have some added roadblocks because your probably a bit nervous and everything is still a bit new,
most people can still finish a song in two hours if they're prepared.
So what does your first experience with us look like?
$50 for your first self-recording session
$50 for mixing and mastering
$100 total. That's about $500 less than the average production costs for vocalists.
And, it get's better still.
$50 for self recording session
$100 for mixing and mastering
$150 total. That's only $75 per song!! That's less than what most studios charge per hour!
If you're serious about music and plan on recording about two songs per month, you'd end up saving $300 per year by coming sufficiently prepped to record two songs per session.
What does the setup session look like?
1. The setup session is FREE (for a limited time)
Yup. No charge, no committment, no fine print.
To us, this is extremely important. Everyone's music needs are totally different, so it's vital that we get to focus on your workflow, your needs, and your goals.
(much better than a generic youtube video, right?)
3. It's fully customized to you.
The recording coach will listen to your music, get a feel for your style, and make customized suggestions for you. These suggestions will include which microphone to use, specific microphone techniques, and software tricks to get the sound that's best for you.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes! Whether they're featuring on your song, pressing record for you, or just hanging out they are welcome in the studio =)
How do I pay?
You'll pay for each session when you book your session online.
Can I schedule super late at night or early in the morning?
Yes! One of the huge benefits of recording yourself is that you can record at any time on any day.
