It depends on the depth and style of production and experience in the studio. The style of production can vary the time it takes to record - live performance is generally faster than multi-track recording of individual instruments and overdubs. A song can take anywhere from one day to a week, or longer. We recommend getting in touch to talk to us about your project so we can give you a case by case recommendation.

If it’s a recording only session you will receive the session folder.

If it’s a mix session you will receive a stereo mix of the song.

Yes, if required.

2-3 days per song but this is dependent on the depth of production. For example, if the production is a vocal and guitar, that will be quicker than a track with several instruments. We can give you an estimation on a case by case basis.

We would advise bringing a hard drive to take the entire session as a back-up. Mixes are sent as WAVs - usually 48K 24 Bit unless requested otherwise.
