Our studio team will be happy to assist you with your booking.

We accept payment via debit/credit card, bank transfer, and cash.

We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before your session to ensure ample time for setup and any necessary preparations.

To ensure a productive session, please come prepared with fully arranged songs, including lyrics and backing music, for single-hour sessions. This allows you to make the most of your time in the studio for recording. For longer 4-hour/8-hour sessions, there's ample opportunity for creativity, including the option to craft songs from scratch. We believe that preparation is essential for optimising each session, so please come ready to dive into your music and make the most of your studio time.

Absolutely, you're welcome to bring your own engineer or producer. Kindly inform us in advance so we can ensure a smooth session for everyone involved.

Clients are welcome to bring specific gear, including their own instruments, pedals, mics, and laptops. However, for equipment that demands more extensive setup, such as drum kits or amplifiers, we require a minimum four-hour booking. For smoother sessions, it's essential to notify us in advance if you're bringing substantial equipment.

At Rival.Music Studios, we pride ourselves on creating an environment suitable for both individual artists and entire bands. For sessions that involve drum recordings, it's essential to secure a slot of at least four hours. This duration aids in ensuring a smooth setup process and capturing the desired sound quality.

After your session, a rough mix will be conducted to provide you with a preliminary version of your recording. For full mixing and mastering services, ensuring the highest quality and professional finish, you can view our prices here.
