Recording is CHF 60.- per hour. Composition, production and mixing are quoted — we adapt to the format (single, EP, album) and the complexity. Full details on the Services page.
A session cancelled less than 24 hours before the start is charged in full. Beyond 24 hours, no charge. We understand life happens — a serious emergency can always be discussed, but the studio is held for you and the slot stays reserved.
Your instruments, sonic references (Spotify playlist, files of tracks that inspire you), your lyrics or charts if you sing or play written music, and whatever you need to settle in. We have everything else — mics, preamps, recording chain. Cables, stands, headphones are on us.
Allow 1 to 3 days per track depending on density, plus a feedback session for adjustments. We deliver a v1 mix, listen together (or remotely via a link), you flag what feels off, we make a v2. A third revision is included if needed.
Yes, always. On delivery of the mix, you leave with the final master, the stems (instrument groups), and on request the full session multitracks. It's your work — you own it.
Of course. A 30-minute visit, no commitment, to see the studio, hear a few tracks that came out of it, and talk through your project. Set up an appointment via the form — we'll match it to our availability.
We record and produce every style — pop, rap, soul, chanson, indie, electronic, chamber classical. The analog grain and neutral monitoring work everywhere. If we've never touched your world, we'll say so upfront; but generally what changes is the colour of the mix, not the quality of the work.
Yes. Two booths + a live room let us track a group simultaneously with clean separation between takes. For larger setups (sextet, ensembles), we discuss in advance — plan a bit more setup time.
A 30% deposit is requested when the booking is confirmed, the balance on delivery of the master. Payment by bank transfer (Swiss IBAN) or Twint. An invoice is issued at each step. For longer projects (albums), we can split into milestones.
