Questions.
Do I need to know how to use the equipment?
No. Every session includes an engineer who sets up the room, runs the board, and handles the tech. You focus on what you came to record.
How does booking work?
Send a request through the form. Within 24 hours we'll check the room and our engineer's calendar, then send your confirmation and a payment link. Nothing is charged until then.
How many people can record?
Sessions are set up for up to 2 people. Bringing more? Let us know in your request and we'll confirm what we can do.
How do I get my files?
You leave with your raw files, so bring a drive. Prefer delivery? Add it for $20. We hold files for seven days after your session, then they're deleted, so back them up.
What if we run over?
If the room is free, extra time is $50 per half hour for audio and $75 per half hour for video. Just ask before you do.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancel at least 48 hours ahead for a full refund. Inside 48 hours, the session is charged in full. You can reschedule once at no charge. No-shows are charged in full.
Do members get a discount?
Yes. Prism members, Five to Nine members, and Gallery Walls artists get 25% off studio time. Choose your membership on the form and we'll confirm it when we approve your request.
