How does your billing process work?

When booking at our studio, we bill based on “Studio Time”. Put simply, this is the amount of time you have reserved at our studio for yourself and your guests. To be clear, we do not bill based on recording time (how long your session lasts), but on studio time (how long the studio is being reserved).

Studio time is billed in 1 hour blocks, we do not bill in any other increments of time. If you need 1 hour and 15 minutes of studio time, you will be billed for 2 hours.

Add-on services are typically billed at their respective flat-rates.

Editing services are billed in 15 minute increments.

What happens if we start late?

Your session begins at the start of your scheduled time, regardless of what time you arrive.

It is highly recommended that you and your guests arrive EARLY, to ensure that your booking can start at the scheduled time.

We reserve the right to provide up to a 15 minute grace period, to allow time for setup, or unavoidable traffic/etc. Grace period time can not be applied to recording time.

Example: If your start time is at 10AM, and a grace period is approved, the latest you can start without incurring additional charges is 10:15AM.

Engineer set up time does not count against your scheduled time.

Example: If it takes an engineer 15 minutes to set up, you will still receive that 15 minutes of time.

What happens if we go over time?

You will be billed for an additional hour, regardless of how much over the session runs.

Example: If you booked a 1 hour session, with a start time of 10AM, and your session runs till 11:05AM, you will be billed an additional hour.
