Service 01
Nail it on the first take, and let the nerves stay off the record.
A good recording starts before the session: repertoire, references, instrumentation, tempos and goals. Blackout.studio coordinates that plan and manages the in-person session at a fully equipped studio (live room, drums, microphones) rented per session when the project needs it.
Blackout.studio coordination fee. Studio rental, third-party musicians or technicians and session costs are confirmed in the quote before booking; they are not included in this price unless stated otherwise.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the listed price the final cost of the session?
No. It's Blackout.studio's base coordination fee. The final cost depends on the studio's rate, duration, the professionals required and complexity, and is confirmed in writing before you book.
Where do sessions take place?
At a fully equipped studio rented per session, subject to availability. That way you don't have to pay for your own drums, microphones and room. The location and terms are confirmed when we quote, before you book.
Can I bring my own engineer or instruments?
You can ask. It depends on the studio's terms and what's agreed in the quote.
How many hours do I need?
It depends on the repertoire and how prepared you are. In the initial evaluation we give you a reasoned estimate, not a promise of unlimited time.
