Read the NBC Montana story →First time in a studio? Here’s how it goes.
01Before you come in.
Send whatever you’ve got: a voice memo, a beat, a reference track. Ten minutes of planning saves an hour of studio time.
02What to bring.
Your lyrics, your beat or instrumental on a drive or in the cloud, and whatever helps you feel comfortable. That’s it. Everything else is here.
03During the session.
You’re not left alone with a microphone. We’re tracking, comping, and getting the take right together.
04After.
You get a rough mix same day. The finished version comes back within the timeline for whatever you booked.

Questions people actually ask.
Do I need to have everything written?
No. Plenty of people finish lyrics in the booth. Just know it eats studio time. Come in with as much as you’ve got.
What if I’ve never recorded before?
Then you’re in the right place. Most of what we do is with people making their first real song.
Can I bring people?
Yes. Keep it small enough that work still gets done.
How do I pay?
$50 deposit books the date. The rest is due at the session: cash, card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex), PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp.
What if I need to reschedule?
Mike to confirm reschedule policy
Do I own my music?
Completely. You made it. We just help you finish it.
Already recorded it?
