Studio Policies
Sessions must be scheduled in advance. No drop-in services.
For the greatest flexibility, we recommend that you call 2-4 weeks in advance to book a voice recording session, and 4-6 weeks for music recording sessions. We can often book on shorter notice, so always ask!
Acceptable methods of payment: Mastercard, Visa, Zelle, personal check, cash.
Payments must be made immediately following each session unless other arrangements have been made.
24-Hour Cancellation Policy: Client is responsible for the first hour of the scheduled recording time if the session is not cancelled within 24 hours of the start of the session.
CDRs and DVDs, and USB drives can be purchased directly from Jack Straw. If client provides media materials, Jack Straw is not responsible for results.
Sessions are billed as a minimum of one hour, and in 1/2-hour increments thereafter.
For most recording sessions at Jack Straw, our engineers will spend time on setup and teardown before and after each session. Jack Straw contributes up to 30 minutes of setup time for any session, but beyond that, we must bill for this time in order to keep our hourly rates low. If you have questions about the estimated setup/teardown time for your session, please ask your engineer.
For more information or to schedule a studio session, please email jsp@jackstraw.org or call (206) 634-0919.
