Prepaid Discounted Block Time:
Prepaid Block Time means that the total block payment is made prior to the recording session, which guarantees the studio payment. Since the customer is paying in advance for their recording time, they will receive a discount off of the regular studio rate. The larger the block of time the greater the amount of discount. Studio Blocks consist of 4 hrs., 6 hrs., 8 hrs., 10 hrs., 16 hrs., 20 hrs., 30 hrs., or 40 hrs. Each of these will be listed above with the prices.
All block rates include the same as the basic studio rate listed above. The customer does not have to use the entire block of time during one session. The customer may divide their block into smaller blocks of thirty minutes each, but not less than four hour blocks for live bands, or one hour blocks for song writers recording single instrument demos. Each four hour block will include a fifteen-minute break, and each eight hour block will include a one-hour meal break. Any time over-runs will be charged at the regular studio rate unless another block of time is purchased.
All block time must be prepaid! If paying by check, the check must be submitted at least 12 days prior to the scheduled recording session to allow time for it to clear. Cash or credit card payments can be made at the studio PRIOR TO STARTING ANY RECORDING. There will be a small convenience charge with payments made by credit or debit cards.
If your recording session is scheduled for a Saturday, a prepaid one hundred fifty dollar ($150.00) non-refundable deposit is required unless your project has been prepaid. The minimum fee for a Saturday and Sunday session is $150 excluding other charges.
Important Note: Discounted prepaid block time purchases are valid for Studio Recording time and mix/edit time only. It is not valid for other purchases of tape, CD's, DVD's, multi track or hard disk recorder fees, equipment, or payment of studio musician charges, etc. Prepaid Block time is not redeemable for cash and has no cash value other than as outlined above. Prepaid block time must be used within 90 days of purchase date. Unused time is not redeemable for cash.
A non-refundable deposit may be required for some project scheduling. No Shows will be charged a minimum $35.00 fee, unless ample notification is given. A $150.00 non-refundable deposit may be required for booking a Saturday and Sunday session. When large block bookings fail to show up as scheduled they cost the studio lost revenue from others who may have scheduled that time. For this reason block deposits and no show fees must be charged and are not refundable.
