Your session starts at the time it was book for. We do not wait NOR do we expect you to wait for us.

You are responsible for anyone that comes with you to a recording session. We do not mind disruptive and childish behavior since you are paying us by the hour. However, you might want to handle that yourself ;)

Deena handles all load-ins and her word is GOD. Talk to her if you have any special needs such as drool cups, adult diapers or green M&M's for your drummer.

Only 3 people are allowed our control rooms at any one time. This keeps us productive and eliminates any distractions from non-clients. We have a large waiting area for those that are not working directly with a project. No exceptions.

If you are as serious about music as we are then these termswill be fair for both of us.
