  • You enter your appointment according to the booking calendar.
  • After booking, your appointment is reserved for you.

If you are still unsure, the best place to start is an initial consultation.

The booking calendar is coordinated with my calendar. What is shown as available is generally available.

Please enter the date and time during booking exactly as shown in the booking calendar. After completing the booking, the appointment is reserved for you.

In the online shop you will find studio services for music, voice, events and personal projects.

Short term appointments are sometimes possible. It is safer to book 1 to 3 weeks in advance. For groups, hen parties, children’s birthdays and larger music projects, earlier booking is recommended.

Yes. Please book with a realistic estimate first. If more people join later, contact me briefly through the contact page, so I can plan properly.

As a guideline, 2 to 4 songs are realistic in a 3 hour appointment. It depends on how well prepared you are, how complex the songs are and how many takes you would like to record.

For a relaxed result, some extra time is usually helpful.

Yes, if the calendar allows it. An extension on site is billed according to the valid hourly rate and can be paid directly in the studio.

Just speak to me during the session if you notice that you need more time.

As long as the booking has not been completed, you can change or remove options in the cart. If you have already booked, please contact me promptly through the contact page.

I will look at the case and find a clean solution with you.

Cancellation, withdrawal and appointment changes

Yes. Cancellation or rescheduling is possible up to 24 hours before the appointment, provided that an alternative time is available.

For later changes, costs or fees that have already arisen may be charged if they have actually occurred.

The binding details are stated in the Terms.

If you are ill, please contact me as early as possible. If you are prevented from attending at short notice for health reasons and can provide a medical certificate, I waive a cancellation fee.

In this case, the appointment can be rescheduled once without additional costs.

If you do not show up without prior cancellation, a reasonable cancellation fee may be charged if the reserved appointment could not be allocated elsewhere or if costs have already been incurred.

The Terms apply.

Yes. If you book online as a consumer, you generally have a statutory right of withdrawal under the applicable regulations.

For services, the right of withdrawal may expire early if the service has been fully provided, if you have expressly agreed that I may begin before the withdrawal period ends and if you have confirmed that you know the right of withdrawal expires in this case.

If you expressly request that I begin before the withdrawal period ends, compensation for services already provided may apply in the event of withdrawal.

You will find the complete rules in the Terms and in the information in the online shop.

Payment and billing

The available payment methods are shown directly in the online shop at checkout. Depending on availability, you can pay there with PayPal, Klarna, card, bank transfer or other offered payment methods.

Spontaneous extensions on site can be paid directly in the studio after agreement.

Payment is made according to the payment method selected during the booking process. Final results, download links and files are provided after confirmed payment receipt, unless otherwise agreed.

If Klarna instalment payment is shown at checkout, you can select this option there. The respective conditions are displayed transparently before you complete the booking.

Yes. If your project is very individual, you can contact me through the contact page or book an initial consultation.

An initial consultation makes sense if you are not yet sure which service fits your project.

Recording at Tonstudio Leipzig

Your booked studio time includes personal guidance in the studio, technical setup, recording, short coordination, several takes within the booked time and useful breaks.

I guide you calmly and directly through the recording, so you feel secure and a good result can be created.

Extensive project planning, songwriting, beat production, in depth coaching, full arrangement or detailed consulting are not automatically included in a regular recording session.

There are suitable additional services for this or the initial consultation.

Yes. Many people come to a professional studio for the first time. I explain everything calmly, help you feel more confident and guide you step by step through the recording.

You do not need any prior knowledge. You bring your idea and I take care of technology, process and sound.

The studio is designed for professional vocal and music recordings. With high quality technology, a calm working style and clean post production, the result is clearly above a normal home recording.

How strong the result becomes also depends on preparation, performance, song material and booked post production.

Preparation: I briefly clarify the goal, song, process and open questions with you.

Setup: Microphone, headphones and session are set up to fit the project.

Recording: You record your takes and can repeat individual parts.

Delivery: Depending on the booked service, you receive raw recordings, mix, master or finished export files via download link.

As a guideline, you can plan 1 to 2 hours for one song. For 3 songs, 4 to 6 hours are often useful, depending on preparation and expectations.

Some extra time usually creates a more relaxed result.

Pitch correction can precisely edit small uncertainties in the voice. It can sound natural and subtle or be used deliberately as a modern effect.

I decide together with you what fits your song.

Mixing brings all tracks into a coherent balance. Voice, beat, instruments, volume, tone, space and effects are adjusted to fit together.

Mastering is the final step. The finished mix is optimized for streaming, download or release.

Revisions are only included if they are explicitly mentioned in the respective product. You will always find the details in the product description before booking.

Additional change requests that go beyond the agreed scope of service may be charged separately.

Files, delivery and archiving

You receive your finished files via a personal download link. Please download the files promptly and back them up yourself.

Please send files digitally via cloud before the session, for example via WeTransfer, Google Drive or a comparable service. After a completed booking, I can provide an upload link if needed.

Important: USB sticks and external hard drives are not accepted for security reasons.

If available, you can provide the following files in advance:

  • Instrumentals or playbacks as MP3 or WAV
  • Lyrics, notes or process requests
  • References for style, mood or sound
  • Existing demos or project tracks

You are responsible for ensuring that your files are technically usable and that you own the required rights to beats, samples, instrumentals, lyrics and other material.

If I notice obvious issues, I will address them transparently.

I store project files and recordings within my possibilities for a reasonable period. Permanent archiving is not automatically part of the service.

Please always back up your finished files yourself. The Terms apply.

Usage rights and confidentiality

After full payment, you receive the agreed usage rights to the final results of your production. You may generally use, publish and share your finished recording for your private and artistic purposes, unless otherwise agreed.

You must clarify rights to third party beats, samples, lyrics or instrumentals yourself.

Yes, if you own all required rights and the service has been fully paid. It is especially important that rights to beats, samples, cover versions, lyrics or instrumentals have been clarified.

For cover versions or third party material, additional rights and approvals may be required.

No, not without your consent. Your recordings and project content are treated confidentially. Use for portfolio, advertising or social media only takes place if you have expressly agreed beforehand.

No. Business voice recordings, company podcasts, advertising, image films, telephone announcements, e learning and institutional audio content belong on the company page.

This FAQ applies to private, creative and artistic projects.

Initial consultation and project planning

An initial consultation makes sense if you are not yet sure which service you should book, how much time you need or how your project can be implemented.

You can book the initial consultation directly in the online shop.

Because your studio time is valuable. If the most important questions are clarified beforehand, the recording session can be focused and relaxed.

In the initial consultation, I take real time for your project. I listen, think along with you, classify your idea and show you suitable possibilities.

After that, you decide freely whether and how you would like to continue.

Recording and equipment

Yes. The studio includes, among other things, piano, handpan, various percussion instruments, loop station, synthesizers, effect processors, MIDI keyboards and controllers.

Yes. Please send the file digitally via cloud before the session. For vocal recordings, an instrumental without the main vocal is ideal.

Yes. You can also book instrumental recordings without vocals. You can find suitable offers on the prices page or in the online shop.

Preparation and arrival

Please arrive on time at the agreed time or no more than 5 minutes early. Before your appointment, I am often still preparing or finishing a previous session.

If you are late, please send me a short message.

That depends on the project. For one song, 1 to 3 hours are often useful. Short breaks can help keep voice, concentration and result stable.

From the age of 18, you can book independently. For minors, the presence or written consent of a parent or legal guardian is required.

Yes. Please let me know the number of people in advance, so I can prepare the appointment properly. For larger groups, hen parties or children’s birthdays, early coordination is especially useful.

Water, tea and coffee are available. Small snacks are fine. Please make sure that technology, instruments and rooms stay clean.

No. The studio is an alcohol and drug free environment. This rule applies to all sessions and events.

Vouchers and credit are generally valid for 36 months from the date of purchase.

Yes. Credit is a good gift for birthdays, hen parties, music lovers or people who have always wanted to visit a recording studio.

A payout is not planned. The credit can be redeemed for studio services.

Online services and special offers

Yes. You can book mixing and mastering completely online. You send me your tracks via cloud and receive the finished result via download link.

This is especially useful if you already have recorded material and want professional sound for your release.

Online mastering: You send a finished stereo mix. I optimize the final sound for streaming, download or release.

With song feedback, I listen to your song specifically and give you honest, structured feedback on arrangement, vocals, production and sound.
