STUDIO 757 FAQ
Whether you're recording your first song, finishing a project you've been working on at home, or looking for a studio to become your regular creative space, we've put together answers to some of the questions we hear most often.
Have a question that isn't answered here? Contact Studio 757 and we'll be happy to help.
🎙️ RECORDING
How much does recording cost?
Studio 757 recording sessions are $60 per hour, with a special rate of 3 hours for $150.
There is a one-hour minimum for recording sessions.
If you record regularly, our Studio 757 Membership may be a better value, with studio time included every month plus additional member discounts.
How long should I book?
That depends on your project.
A single vocal session may only require an hour or two, while recording an entire song or project can take considerably longer. The more prepared you are before arriving, the more efficiently we can use your studio time.
If you're not sure how much time you need, contact us and we can help you estimate it.
Can I record vocals?
Yes. Studio 757 provides professional vocal recording as part of our recording services.
Whether you're recording rap, hip-hop, R&B, rock, pop, electronic music, or another style, we'll work with you to get the best possible performance and recording.
Can I bring my own beats?
Absolutely.
You can bring your own instrumental, use a beat you've purchased, or check out the Burner Productions beat catalog for available instrumentals.
Can you help me create the music?Yes.
Studio 757 offers music production in addition to recording, mixing, and mastering. Depending on the project, we can help with arrangements, sounds, production decisions, and turning an idea into a finished track.
Can I write my song at the studio?You can, but we strongly recommend coming prepared with your lyrics, song structure, and major musical ideas whenever possible.
Studio time is valuable. Having your material prepared before the session allows us to spend more time recording and creating rather than trying to figure everything out from scratch.
🎚️ MIXING & MASTERING
Do I have to record at Studio 757 to get my music mixed?
No.
You can record your music anywhere and send your tracks to Studio 757 for professional mixing and/or mastering.

How much does mixing cost?Studio 757 offers:
Mixing — $150 per song

Mastering is available for artists who already have a completed mix and need the final polish before release.
How much is mixing and mastering together?
Our current Mixing + Mastering Package is $175 per song.
What does the mixing process include?
Depending on the project, our process can include track cleanup, vocal and track tuning, MIDI sound selection, layering or replacement, re-amping, drum enhancement, arrangement adjustments, EQ, compression, effects, and mastering.
We typically spend significant time working on each mix because getting a professional result takes more than simply putting effects on a few tracks.
Can I get a free opinion on my mix?
Yes!
Studio 757 offers a free mix evaluation.
Send us an MP3 of your mix and we'll provide feedback, recommendations, and tips to help you improve it—even if you ultimately decide to mix the song yourself.

📅 BOOKING & STUDIO POLICIES
Do I need an appointment?
Yes.
Studio time should be scheduled in advance so we can make sure the studio and necessary equipment are ready for your session.
Is there a minimum session?
Yes.
There is a one-hour minimum for recording sessions.
How early should I arrive?
We recommend arriving approximately 5–10 minutes before your scheduled session.
This gives you time to get settled and ready to work without using valuable recording time.
How many people can I bring?
Please limit your session to two non-essential guests.
Keeping the studio focused helps everyone concentrate on the music and keeps the session productive.
What happens if I damage studio equipment?
Clients are responsible for damage to studio property resulting from negligence.
Please treat the studio and equipment with the same care you would give your own gear.
How does payment work?
For standard studio sessions, 50% of the session fee is due upfront, with the remaining balance due upon delivery of the final product.
🎤 HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY SESSION?
Should I bring my lyrics?
Yes!
We recommend having your lyrics, notes, song structure, and other important information prepared before your session.
Having printed or digital copies available can also make communication between the artist and engineer much easier.
Should I practice before recording?
Absolutely.
The better you know your song before entering the studio, the more time we can spend capturing great performances instead of learning the material.
Should I bring my own equipment?If you're bringing an instrument or other equipment, make sure everything is working properly before your session.
For musicians, we recommend bringing things such as:
- Fresh guitar strings
- Spare strings
- Picks
- Drumsticks
- Working instrument cables
- Power supplies and adapters
- Fresh batteries for pedals or pickups
- Any specialty equipment you need
Should I bring a tuner?
If you're recording instruments, yes.
Make sure everyone is tuning with the same reference whenever possible, and tune before recording important takes.
What should I do before a vocal session?
Get some rest, stay hydrated, and take care of your voice.
Avoid showing up exhausted or dehydrated. Your physical condition can have a noticeable effect on your performance.
💡 WHAT IF I'M NOT SURE WHAT I NEED?
That's completely fine.
You don't have to know exactly what service to book before contacting Studio 757.
Whether you need recording, production, mixing, mastering, a beat, or simply want to talk through an idea, we can help you figure out the best way to approach your project.
Come in with an idea. Leave with a finished track.
