    Who we're here for

    Questions.

    No. Every session includes an engineer who sets up the room, runs the board, and handles the tech. You focus on what you came to record.

    Tap Request Studio Time and you'll see a live estimate as you go. We'll confirm within one business day and collect a card then. Nothing is charged before that.

    Groups of one to three record in the studio at no extra charge. Groups of four to six record in one of our meeting rooms, which adds $40/hr to the session.

    You take your raw files with you before you leave, so bring a drive. We hold a copy for seven days after your session and then it's deleted, so back them up.

    Arriving late doesn't extend your block. If you want to run over and the room is free, it's $50 per half hour. Just ask before you do.

    Cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours ahead for a full refund; between 48 and 24 hours we'll refund half or move you at no charge. Inside 24 hours, and for no-shows, the session is charged in full, though the first time we'll move you once.

    Yes. Members pay $80/hr for video and $65/hr for audio. Answer yes on the form and we'll verify it when we confirm.

    1212 N. Ashland Ave., 2nd Floor, in Wicker Park, steps from the Division Blue Line.

    Passion and presence is purpose.
