Frequently asked questions

Use contact, call 020 737 0284 or email [email protected]. State the service, preferred period and a short brief. Within 1 working day you receive a slot proposal and written quote based on rates on Services.

After written acceptance of the quote and receipt of the 30 % deposit. Without deposit we hold the slot only for the period stated on the quote.

Regular hours: Monday to Friday 10:00–20:00, Saturday 11:00–18:00. Closed Sunday. By appointment only. Sessions outside those times may be possible by arrangement and with a surcharge on the quote; we never silently run overnight without you asking explicitly.

We aim for 1 working day on weekdays within Mon–Fri 10–20, Sat 11–18. Complex mix or master projects may take slightly longer if we need to review stems first.

Not for a quote, but before we start: read deliver stems for mix and send a sample folder if useful. Our engineer checks naming, sample rate and headroom before scheduling hours.

For a three- to four-minute pop or rap song, plan roughly two to four hours of Vocal and speech recording when arrangement and lyrics are ready. More time is normal for stacks or multiple languages.

Up to 6 with separate headphone mixes. Larger setups need prior discussion; sometimes drums and bass are tracked sequentially on the same day.

One or two visitors in the control room is usual. More people can affect acoustics or focus; tell us in advance so we can plan seating and monitoring.

We provide basic monitoring, DIs and standard microphones. Bring your own guitars, bass and drums unless the quote says otherwise. Vocals and string instruments are always yours.

We extend only at your request and when the next slot allows. Extra time is billed per started half hour at the hourly rate of the booked service on Services.

Work prints and masters usually as 24-bit WAV at the project sample rate (by default up to 96 kHz). Other formats on request if listed on the quote.

Via secure download link or to your cloud drive. Large band sessions may use several folders; we label by song and take where possible.

12 months after the last relevant session on our systems, then we delete project files. Keep your own copies of anything you need for release.

By default 2 feedback rounds after the first mix delivery. Extra rounds or stem fixes are billed per hour or per track as on the quote.

Yes if your drive meets our speed and format requirements and is virus-free. Raw multitracks also stay in our archive within the retention period.

After full payment for the agreed services, rights in recordings made for you transfer to you as set out in terms. The studio does not claim co-ownership of your music.

Unpaid or partly paid deliveries are work in progress; commercial release only after full payment and written confirmation of final masters.

No. We do not use client recordings to train machine-learning models and we do not create voice clones without explicit written consent from the voice holder.

Everyone signs our studio release or provides management approval where required. If splits are unclear, we note that on the quote.

Conversations may contain personal data. You are controller for publication; we process only what the session requires, see privacy policy and optionally data processing agreement.

Bank transfer for deposit and balance; card in the studio on the session day where available. IBAN and reference are on quotes and invoices from Micracoriva B.V..

Consumers usually on the session day before start or on mix/master delivery. Business clients within 30 days of invoice unless agreed otherwise.

Yes, site rates and quotes include 21 % VAT unless explicitly marked for B2B reverse charge. Ex-VAT amounts are on Services.

More than 7 days before start: free. Between 7 days and 48 hours: deposit carries once within 6 months. Within 48 hours: deposit remains due except force majeure. Details in terms.
