Step by step
Your preparation
Go through the points once, then you know exactly what to expect.
- Plan your arrival with buffer, whether you come by car, train or bus
- Please arrive on time or no more than 5 minutes early
- Don't come too early, you would just wait, I'm usually still preparing until shortly before
- If you are delayed, please contact me briefly by WhatsApp or phone
Why this matters: every minute of your booked studio time belongs to you. Arrival and setup time is already built in. If you are prepared, you get into the flow faster.
If available, please provide the following in advance through a cloud link:
- Instrumentals or playbacks as MP3 or WAV
- Lyrics, notes or ideas
- References for sound or style
- Existing recordings or individual tracks
How and where should I upload?
- Use a cloud platform such as Google Drive, WeTransfer or pCloud
- Alternatively by email, with full name and invoice number
Check files briefly before uploading
- Play each file and check: is the sound there, does it work?
- Name files clearly so I can assign them immediately
- Check the export: not silent, right format
A little file care saves money and recording time.
For security reasons, I do not accept USB sticks or hard drives on site.
- Lyrics printed or saved on your smartphone, they are not provided by the studio
- Sheet music, chord sheets or other documents
- Your own instrument, if relevant for the session
- If you bring your own laptop, bring the charger and test the software beforehand
Less searching and improvising means more time for your recording.
- Rest your voice before the appointment and avoid speaking or singing too much
- Drink enough still water, preferably already in the morning
- Avoid alcohol, smoking and loud environments before your appointment
- For longer sessions, feel free to bring something to eat, snacks, fruit or small meals
A rested voice sounds better. It gets tired more slowly and needs fewer takes.
Please come to the studio sober. Alcohol, drugs and other intoxicants are not allowed.
Coffee, tea and water are available. On request, I'm happy to warm something up too.
- Think realistically about what can be done in the time you booked
- Set priorities: what definitely needs to happen, what would be a bonus?
- If you are unsure about the scope, contact me briefly before the session
Orientation: for a 3-hour appointment, 2 to 4 songs can be realistic, depending on complexity and preparation.
At the start of the session, we briefly discuss the plan.
- For recordings and sessions, accompanying persons are possible, please announce them in advance
- For the best recording quality: come alone, or bring at most one trusted person
- More guests fit better later, for example when listening back together
- For minors, a legal guardian must be present or give written consent
This keeps the atmosphere calm. That leads to better takes.
For training sessions and workshops, each person counts as a separate booking. Please talk to me beforehand.
For an initial consultation, accompanying persons such as family or friends are welcome.
- Cancellation or rescheduling is possible up to 24 hours before the appointment
- Please contact me by WhatsApp or message, a short note is enough
- If you are ill, contact me right away. We'll find a fair solution
For short-notice cancellations or no-shows, a reasonable cancellation fee may apply. Details in the Terms.
