Our podcast studio, is equipped with an user friendly board that does not require an audio engineer. When you start and finish your studio session, a staff member will be available to assist with sound checks, start and stop the recording, and transfer your files. If you are new to our studio, we can also help you with good microphone practices.

For more complex recording applications, an engineer or producer can be helpful for your recording session. Please call us and we can help you determine your needs. Unfortunately, we do not have an audio engineer on staff; however, we are happy to provide information on how to hire an independent audio engineer.

You bet! One of our staff members will always be around to make sure your recording goes smoothly. We assume you will have some basic audio editing skills, as most recordings will need some lighting editing after you record. For example, it is best to adjust gain levels, apply light compression and a hard limiter, and master your recording before distribution.

If you are unfamiliar with audio editing and digital audio software we recommend that you take some time prior to reserving studio time to learn basic editing skills and become familiar. You can save money by doing the post-production work – editing, mixing and mastering – on your personal computer.

That will depend on the kind of project you are recording for. Please be aware that there will be another recording session after yours, so you will need to be out of the studio no later than the time your reservation ends. Time is of the essence – your session time begins at the scheduled start time of your reservation and ends at the scheduled end time. If the studio is not booked prior to your start time, we may have the flexibility to get you in a few minutes early, but not always. Please refrain from using the control board or studio prior to the start of your session without first checking with a staff member.

As a point of reference, if you are conducting a 30-minute interview with a guest, you should book a time frame that includes setup time (sound check, etc.) and some time after to transfer your files. A 30-minute studio session will result in cutting you off early to keep things on schedule.

We offer podcast editing services through our Members Only Club, we do not offer  producing, or distribution services. Our podcast studio rental is primarily a DIY solution, so please be aware that other than getting your recording studio started and finished, the staff generally won’t be available to help with other aspects of your show.

We are happy to point you in the right direction, whether it be help finding resources on how to get started with getting a podcast online.

In the studio, your session will be recorded to a Rode Caster Pro we also encourage you to bring your computer to connect and a quick transfer. 

A staff member will help you transfer the recording files to a Hard drive, SSD or USB that you provide. Please make sure you leave our office with all of your files, and please do a verification – and backup! – as soon as you can. All files are deleted after each recording session. we are not responsible for recovering your files or any of your data.

We will not resample or do any conversions of the audio files before transferring them to your drive. If you need the files in a different format, sample rate, or bit depth, you should plan to do that conversion on your own.

There are only a few things you may want to bring with you:

• Credit card, for paying for your studio session in case of overtime.
• Hard drive, SSD, or USB drive with enough space to transfer the recording files from your session
• Headphones (with 1/4″ input plug) for your comfort
• Audio files to import our audio cart system
• Tablet or laptop and prep files for your recoding

Please Note: if you don’t have a hard drive, SSD, or USB device to take your files away with, we can send you a Dropbox link to your file for $10 per file.

Before leaving our office, you will pay for your recording session with a credit card through. You will be charged for any time reserved, even if you finish your session early. If you exceeded your reserved time you will also be charged for the overage at $1 per minute. Exceeding the reserved time slot is at the discretion of The Social Tour staff and only possible if the schedule allows.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so more than 24 hours before your session. We will try our best to honor your time at a later date. We do not offer refunds as it prevents someone else from booking during that time.
