FAQs

  • Our setup is designed for up to 4 guests recording at once, with professional mics and headphones ready to go.

  • Nope. The studio is fully set up, you can walk in, hit record, and get started. If you’d like extra support, you can book an engineer to handle the tech so you can just focus on the conversation.

  • Every booking includes mics, video, a mixer, an engineer and acoustic treatment.

  • You can book by the hour, half day, or full day. If you’re doing a standard 1-episode podcast, an hour is usually fine (remember you’ll need to wrap up in 45 minutes to allow time for file transfer). For multiple episodes, we recommend half or full day hire.

  • Yes but its limited spaces on-site. We recommend Harebreaks car park a 5 minute walk away so you don’t waste time trying to find a space.

  • Recording and file transfer are included. Editing isn’t part of standard hire, but we do offer this as an add on service on our booking page.
