Artist Preparation Guide
π΅ Choosing Your Beats & Instrumentals
Before arriving, make sure your beats are ready in WAV, M4A, or MP3 format. For the best results, we recommend using professionally mixed-and-mastered WAV files (βtwo-tracksβ) and purchasing proper licensing from your producer (e.g. via BeatStars or YouTube).
Many YouTube instrumentals are intentionally mixed for playback β not for recording β with artificial bass boosts or compression that ruin the clarity of your final record. Always acquire the original licensed version for optimal sound quality. The mix of the beats and instrumentals themselves have a huge impact on the final mix quality of your record.

Yes! We have a private rooftop deck dedicated just for smoking, vibes, and sunshine within our state-of-the-art, newly-constructed facility at The Williamson studio megaplex at 10440 Burbank Blvd. Because our building accommodates a variety of singers, song-writers, and recording artists across a variety of genres, smoking is permitted on the upstairs rooftop only.

π Stems & delivery
We keep careful archives (MM.DD.YYYY β session # β song #). Weβll gladly send stems anytime via WeTransfer within 3 business days if you provide the exact original file name!
ποΈ Can I book without an engineer?
Unfortunately, no. Every session must include one of our in-house engineers (landlord/liability rules).
β±οΈ I record and work very fast. Can I record more than one song per hour?
We never rush the process. You can record up to one song per hour max.
π€ What DAW do you use?
We primarily rely on our industry-standard vocal chains and avoid digital mixing. We do analog EQ & compression with the Neve 1073SPX Analog Pre-Amp & EQ and the TUBE-TECH CL 1B Analog Tube Compressor, respectively. Our engineers use either FL Studio or Pro Tools for the final digital effects.
π οΈ Analog-first β why it matters
A great analog signal is everything β digital mixing introduces harshness. The infamous Neumann U87 Microphone β Neve 1073 Pre-Amp & EQ β legendary TUBE-TECH CL 1B Analog Tube Compressor comprise our sound-booth and industry-standard vocal chain. If youβre coming from BandLab or basic home-studio setups, this is the next level β affordable access to real, industry-standard analog sound.
