The questions we answer most often at our Overtoom studio, written up properly: how to prepare, what a session really costs and how to hand over your files.
Preparing for a vocal recording sessionOnce you are in the booth, the clock is running. Singers who arrive prepared spend their hours singing rather than searching, rewriting and waiting. Here is what we suggest before you come in.

Delivering your tracks for mixingA mix does not start at the first fader; it starts with the folder you send. The tidier your tracks, the more mixing time goes into sound rather than detective work.
Loudness in mastering, minus the mythsThe question we hear most in mastering: can it be louder? The honest answer depends on where your music ends up. Here is how loudness works and what your options are.
