Probably the first question asked about
a recording project is sometimes the hardest to answer. Although
our standard tracking rate is currently $65 per hour we have several
ways to approach project cost:
Hourly - a general
estimate is $65 per hour which includes our house engineer. It is
important to understand that we are not “clock watchers” who run
a “hard” clock. We will do what it takes to properly complete your
project and stay within your budget.
Per Song - depending on number of tracks required and complexity
of material.
Block Time - discounts available for larger projects - 20 or more
hours
Block Time with Lodging - same as above with
lodging at Lands Creek Log Cabins. The best deals on this can be
had during the winter and spring months. |
Here are a few questions to ponder
prior to booking studio time that can help everyone involved know
what
to expect :
What’s the overall budget? Will we need lodging?
How many people for how long? Overall goals - How
many songs can be completed in the time period budgeted? A well rehearsed
band can really do well here and capture the spontaneous energy of
early tracks!
Production - Most artists are able to self- produce
in our studio. We will do our best to provide input when asked.
How much equipment will you need to bring? House equipment is available
at a nominal charge.
Will you need additional session players or
possibly “original” material. We can help out in both these areas.
Duplication and Graphics - not all projects go for duplication but
we assist you with that step.
Do you want to finish your project at this time or work on it over a period of time? Either one
works for us. Once you purchase disk/tape you can store and open
your project
any time.
With all things considered, the most important thing
to remember is that we want to help you make your project happen.
