Q: How quickly can you complete my project?

A: Standard turnaround is 24-72 hours depending on project complexity, with most projects completed within 3-5 days. We offer rush services for urgent deadlines - just let us know your timeline when booking. Our boutique size allows us to move quickly while maintaining industry-level quality that larger studios often can't match on tight deadlines.

Q: What's your booking process?

A: It's simple! Reach out via email or through our website contact form with your project details. We'll discuss your vision, provide a detailed quote, and once you approve, we'll send a digital contract and invoice for the 50% deposit. Once that's completed, we'll schedule your session or start on your project immediately.

Q: Do you work with all music genres?

A: While we specialize in hip-hop, R&B, pop, indie, and house music, we're open to working across genres. Our diverse experience includes everything from award-winning album artwork to sound design for film and TV. We believe great audio engineering principles apply regardless of genre, and we love creative challenges.

Q: What equipment do you use?

A: We use professional-grade equipment including PreSonus Studio 1824c interface, Focusrite Trakmaster Pro, Warm Audio 47JR microphone, and PreSonus Eris monitors. Our software setup centers around PreSonus StudioOne 7 DAW. This combination gives us the flexibility to handle everything from intimate vocal recordings to full production work.

Q: Can you handle podcast production and voiceover work?

A: Absolutely! Beyond music, we offer comprehensive audio post-production services including podcast editing, voiceover recording and processing, and sound design for film and video. Our rates start at $100+ for voiceovers and $75+ per minute for audio post work. We've worked on projects for major networks and understand the technical requirements for broadcast and streaming platforms.

Q: What's included in your mixing service?

A: Our mixing service includes level balancing, EQ, compression, effects processing, stereo imaging, and creative enhancement to make your track sound polished and professional. We provide one round of revisions included in the price, and we'll work with you until you're satisfied with the final mix. Additional major revisions are available at $50 per round.

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

A: Currently, we require a 50% deposit to begin work, with the remaining balance due upon completion. For larger projects over $1000, we can discuss milestone-based payment structures. We accept various payment methods through our secure Stripe integration for your convenience.

Q: What if I need changes after the project is completed?

A: Minor tweaks within 30 days are complimentary - we want you to be completely happy with your project. Larger changes or additional work beyond the original scope can be handled at our standard hourly rates. We keep project files organized and accessible, so we can always revisit and refine your work as needed.
