Booking & quotes

How do I start a booking?

Use Contact, 01 966 12 34 or [email protected]. State the service (e.g. Vocals & singing or Band in the live room), track count and preferred dates. We usually reply within 2 working days with a written quote.

When is the date firm?

After you accept the quote in writing and the 30% deposit reaches us. Until then the slot may be offered to someone else.

How long is a quote valid?

By default 2 working days from sending, unless the quote states another date. After that, price or availability may be recalculated.

Can I book by phone?

Yes — we summarise the call in writing and email the quote for confirmation. Without email acceptance and deposit the date stays open.

Do you offer last-minute slots?

When the calendar shows free capacity, yes. Short-notice bookings follow the same cancellation rules — see terms.

Payment & cancellation

Which payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer for deposit and balance; card at the studio by agreement. Business clients get 14 days from invoice date.

Are website prices binding?

List rates (e.g. €98 per hour for Vocals & singing or €195 per track for Stem mixing) are guidance. The accepted quote including 20% VAT is binding.

What if I cancel more than 4 days ahead?

Free cancellation or move; deposit refunded. Please notify us in writing — email is enough.

What about shorter notice?

The deposit may be kept as a flat effort charge if the slot cannot be rebooked. One move within three months is possible by agreement — terms.

Is there a withdrawal right?

Consumers on distance contracts have 14 days under Austrian FAGG, with exceptions once bespoke production has started. Form and notes in our terms.

During the session

When are you open?

Tuesday–Friday 9:00–20:00, Saturday 10:00–16:00. Closed Sunday and Monday. Sessions are by appointment so setup and export are not rushed.

How do I reach Neubaugasse?

Take U-Bahn line U3 to Neubaugasse; from there it is about a 4-minute walk along Neubaugasse. Tram lines 49 and 13 also stop at Neubaugasse or Siebensterngasse, each a short walk away. From Wien Westbahnhof, U3 is one stop towards Simmering. Address: Neubaugasse 40, 1070 Wien.

Can I bring guests?

One or two people in the control room are usually fine. Larger groups please announce in advance — especially for Band in the live room.

What if we run over time?

Extensions only with your consent and if the next booking allows. Extra time is charged pro rata per the quote.

How should I prepare for vocals?

Lyrics ready, reference tracks as files, arrive rested. See our vocal prep guide for a checklist.

Files & delivery

What file format do I get?

Typically 24-bit WAV at your project sample rate (often 48 kHz). Mix/master exports as agreed; for Stem mixing see delivering stems. Please avoid lossy masters as source files — we only convert when you explicitly ask.

How are files handed over?

Download link or your drive. Large band sessions include export time before the slot ends.

How long do you keep projects?

24 months after the last service, then deletion — keep your own backups. Longer archive only by written agreement.

How many mix/master revisions are included?

2 bundled revision rounds per mix or master job. Further rounds are quoted separately.

Can I get raw multitracks?

Yes when agreed in the quote. Standard delivery is the agreed exports (stems or mixdowns), not every interim project file.

Rights & privacy

Who owns the recordings?

You are economically entitled to recordings you paid for unless agreed otherwise — see terms. You remain responsible for samples and lyrics rights.

Can podcast guests take part?

Yes, with consent to fixation and use. See guest releases.

Do you use sessions for AI training?

No. We do not train models on client audio and do not clone voices without separate written permission.

May the studio publish reference work?

Only with your written consent. Portfolio use is not automatic part of the fee.

Where is data processing explained?
Privacy policy, Cookie policy and . Business clients: DPA.
