  • Mixing

    Mixed in house, with two rounds of notes. Send stems from anywhere.

Before you book

Do I need to bring gear?

No. Drums, amps, a keyboard and mics are all here. Bring your own if you love it.

Can I bring friends?

Up to four people in the control room. More than that slows the session down.

Do you do remote mixing?

Yes. Send stems and references and we'll mix them like you were here.

What's the cancellation policy?

Free up to 48 hours before. After that we keep half the deposit.
