Yes, absolutely. We understand that some clients can only attend sessions in the evening and our team is happy to accommodate.

Ideally 2-3 weeks in advance, however dependent on the urgency of the deadline we can move things around to accommodate deadlines.

You can make a payment with cash, cheque, bank transfer or PayPal (however there is a 5% charge when paying through PayPal). We do ask for a 50% upfront payment to secure a session slot, as this is locked just for you so no other client can use it.

You can bring anything you like. Depending on what you plan to record, you can bring your own instruments and equipment. However, our studio / live room is equipped with a drum kit, guitars (acoustic, classical, electric, bass) and amplifiers, as well as a wide range of microphones and recording equipment.

At Black & Gold Audio, we don’t like to put a price on what we produce without having a talk with you about your project and ideally listening and viewing any material you have beforehand. Consultation is important and a quote can be established from this, prior to making any studio bookings. To do this, contact us on our telephone number/email address.

Every step of the session is with one of our engineers/producers to help you through every step of the process.
