To book a recording session we require a 50% non refundable deposit to confirm your booking. Until this deposit has been made the session remains free to other clients to book. Upon receipt of the 50% your session is then booked and confirmed. The outstanding balance must be settled in advance of the session commencing. Failure to settle the session will result in the failure to commence the session, project files being withheld and may result in legal action.

Should a recording session over run and we got into overtime (this is 10 minutes past the end of the session) you will be charged on a per hour basis in addition to the session charge.

Mixing

When using our mixing service we require 50% of the quoted price to be settled for us to begin the project, this charge is not refundable. Upon completion of the mix we require the 50% of the quoted price to be settled. Failure to settle the balance will result in the mix being withheld.
