Studio hire
Weekday mornings are usually free at two days notice. You get the room, someone who knows it, and your files the same day.
What you get
Six microphones on stands, a table that seats six, headphones for everyone and an engineer who has run about nine hundred sessions in this room. You turn up, sit down and talk.
We record every session multi-track and twice, on separate devices. You leave with the raw files, and if you want them edited we quote for that up front rather than billing you a surprise.
Rates
Excluding VAT. Nothing is charged until the session happens, and if we have to cancel on you, the next one is free.
€ 180 four hours
Enough for an interview, a short episode or a pilot. Four hours in the room with someone who knows where everything is.
Weekday mornings are usually free at two days notice.
€ 320 eight hours
For a batch of episodes, an audiobook chapter or a day of interviews. Most people book this once and then stop booking anything else.
Two or more days a month brings it to €280.
€ 90 per hour
You are in the room, your guest is anywhere. Double-ender recording so their side does not depend on their internet.
Minimum one hour, billed in half hours after that.
€ 45 per hour
Editing on its own, for people who recorded elsewhere. Noise, pacing, structure — we will tell you honestly if it needs a re-record.
Rough estimate given up front, and we stick to it.
Things people ask
Yes. Bring whatever you like — the engineer will patch it in and will also tell you honestly if the one on the table is better.
Two cameras, static, on request. We are a sound company and we will not pretend otherwise, but a talking-head cut is well within what the room does.
Yes, at €45 an hour with an estimate up front. Most one-hour interviews take two to three hours to make properly listenable.
Then say so when you book. We will put half an hour at the front of the session for levels, nerves and coffee, and it will not be billed.
Check a date
Nothing is booked until we both confirm by email, and no deposit is taken on this page.
Or see it first
Ten minutes, no obligation, usually a Tuesday afternoon. Most people book after standing in it for a while rather than after reading a rate card.
Included in every rate
Eight shows, recorded in person. Everything published here is also transcribed.
