Note: we don't hold you to a strict 4 hours but do ask that you are ready and rehearsed with your material. If it
needs to go into a second day of recording an additional cost can be negotiated prior to continuing. Everyone so
far has been able to nail 3 songs with impressive results in a single recording sesion with only one exception That
situation was the song was written starting at Midnight, finished at 7AM and had a 9AM appointment (Showed up
late) to start recording. No Rehearsal, (No Sleep!) struggling over every line in every verse. 14 takes later on the
first verse we decided to reschedule.
Here is my commitment, if you are committed and ready to work we will put the time needed into the demo to make
it the best possible example of your work. No Clock Watching.
