The studio is available for hire from £30.00 per hour (including Engineers). Mixing time is charged separately at a base rate of £80.00 per track for 8 hours* with tweaks and Mastering included.

We offer this service so that you can be safe in the knowledge that your songs will still sound exactly the way that you want them to after the mix has been approved.
