FAQs

Do you support video podcasts?

Yes. The room is designed for video as well as audio. You can add one, two or three camera operators depending on the style and number of guests.

Can I record without an engineer?

Many creators dry hire the studio and run their session with their own sound engineers. We require a sound technician to be present during a recording. If you are new to the set up, have multiple guests or want to move fast and don’t have an engineer you are able to add our in-house sound technicians during your booking.

How does editing work?

Editing is available as an add-on and is billed per hour of recorded content. We agree on scope and turnaround in advance. Typical tasks include clean-up, assembly, music beds and export for podcast platforms and social clips.

What do I get at the end of the session?

You will receive high-quality audio files and, if applicable, camera footage. We help you choose the right formats so you can publish without headaches.

Can you host remote guests?

Yes. The control room supports remote call integration. Tell us your platform and we will set a workflow that balances audio quality and reliability.

How many microphones are available?

Up to four Shure SM7B microphones with individual monitoring, suitable for most round-table or interview formats.

Is the space soundproof and comfortable for longer recordings?
