Please review our recording studio booking policies before making a reservation.

DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS

  • A 50% deposit is required to book and schedule studio time. The remaining balance is due in full the day of your session – no exceptions.
  • A 3% credit card fee is added to all credit and debit card payments.
  • All studio time officially booked on our calendar MUST be used within the time allotted. If technical difficulties occur, it is at management’s discretion to reschedule or provide unused hours in the future.
  • The client who is listed on the invoice as the payee owns the masters once the entire session is paid in full.
  • Deposits and all payments are final and non-refundable.

RESCHEDULING POLICIES

  • Please notify management 48 hours in advance if you need to reschedule.
  • If you notify management to reschedule in LESS than 48 hours, the initial 50% deposit is forfeited. This action is required to prevent the loss of re-booking the studio and the engineer to another client. Money spent beyond the initial 50% deposit that is not used, can go toward future studio time or bookings.

CANCELLATION POLICIES

  • If for any reason you need to cancel your studio time completely, please notify management immediately. For all cancellations within 24 hours of the booking, the initial 50% deposit is forfeited and non-refundable – no exceptions.

TARDINESS POLICIES 

  • Appointment times have been arranged specifically for you. If you arrive late, your session may be shortened in order to accommodate others whose sessions follow yours. Depending upon how late you arrive, your engineer will then determine if there is enough time remaining to start the session.
  • Regardless of the length of the session, you will be responsible to pay for the entire session.
  • Out of respect and consideration to your engineer and other clients, please plan accordingly and be on time.
  • Deposit is non-refundable.

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

  • We use Pro Tools HD Native which is an industry standard in a tracking/mixing room. If you do not use ProTools, be sure to upload or bring your stems to us before or on the day of your session.
  • You can use either a thumb drive or hard drive to bring in your session files or tracks. You also have the option of utilizing Dropbox or WeTransfer (please send to [email protected]). Many prefer to email files so they will be at the studio upon arrival which, in return, allows you to spend more time in your session recording.
  • We encourage all of our clients to review a map of our location (Sunrise, FL). Due to traffic and depending on time of day, always plan on leaving 30-45 minutes prior to ensure that you’re not late for your recording session.
  • Editing your files and transferring your files are all done within your session time.
  • Your engineer will always provide an mp3 or wav file of your music during your recording session. If you would like your raw session files (the Pro Tools session) as well, please bring your hard drive the day of your session so the engineer can provide them for you within your scheduled time. If you do not have a hard drive, the engineer can send your session files via Dropbox during your session’s scheduled time. Files sent via Dropbox must be downloaded within 30 days of your files being uploaded into Dropbox.
  • With your approval and entirely at your discretion, we may take a quick photo of your recording. We share this photo with an appropriate caption on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We find that this promotional tactic not only helps our studio, but provides fantastic advertising for you as an artist within the music industry. 

AFTER YOUR SESSION

  • After your session, we encourage you to stay in touch with your engineer or producer for any edits or revisions needed. However, your engineer will not always be able to assist you in booking your next session. The only way to book studio time is via our website.
  • Files sent via Dropbox must be downloaded within 30 days of your files being uploaded into Dropbox.
  • Studio Drives will be cleared every six (6) months. To ensure that your files are not forever lost, be sure to obtain them during or soon after your session.
  • We will be in contact with you via email and/or phone to ensure you received the highest quality customer service while at Center Piece Pro Studio. We often ask for a testimonial to publish on our website and further promote you as an artist in our community.

EDITS & REVISIONS

  • You get 3 complimentary edits or mix revisions. Any edits or mix revisions of any kind after will be a minimum charge of $40. Normal hourly rates apply for anything over 30 minutes worth of work.
  • This policy excludes mix packages and bundles which will be specified upon booking.

GENERAL POLICIES & REGULATIONS

  • For the comfort of all staff and clients, please refrain from smoking inside the studio. Our designated smoking areas are located outside of the building.
  • All illegal drug substances and weapons of any kind that are harmful or disruptive are strictly prohibited inside of Center Piece Pro Studio.
  • We reserve the right to deny entry or refuse business without refund, liability or compensation if the circumstances so require.
  • Center Piece Pro’s policies and regulations are subject to change without notice.
  • Use of Center Piece Pro’s logo on paper fliers, digital fliers, CD’s, DVD’s, banners or other promotional material is strictly prohibited without official written release by management.
