FAQ
Straight answers.
Who owns the recordings?
You do. Masters and multitracks transfer to you when the final invoice is paid in full. We keep a backup copy for 90 days unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
How does the deposit work?
New clients pay a 50% deposit to hold dates. It’s credited to your final invoice. Our cancellation tiers are published on the Rates page and in the Booking Terms, and we show them again before you pay.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
More than 14 days out, your deposit transfers to new dates or is refunded. Between 14 days and 72 hours, 50% of booked studio and personnel charges apply; under 72 hours, 100%. Any cancellation fee can be applied to a make-up booking within 30 days. If we cancel, you get a full refund.
Do you guarantee streams, playlists or a label deal?
No. Nobody honest can. We make the best-sounding record we can with you; promotion and results depend on many things outside the studio.
Can I record a cover song?
Yes, but releasing it requires a mechanical license (17 U.S.C. §115). We can point you to licensing services; we don’t clear songs or samples for you.
Do session players sign anything?
Yes. Hired musicians and vocalists sign a work-for-hire or session release, and we provide a split sheet for co-writers so ownership is clear before release.
Do you use AI voice cloning?
No. Under Tennessee’s ELVIS Act and our own terms, we don’t create AI simulations of anyone’s voice or likeness. Pitch correction and editing of your own performance are fine.
Can artists under 18 book?
Yes, with a parent or legal guardian who signs the booking terms and any release forms and is present or reachable during the session.
Is the studio accessible?
Please see our Accessibility page for physical-access details and tell us what you need when booking; we’ll plan load-in and room setup around it.
