Bookings are made via the contact form, we haven't implemented an automated process as we want to talk you ensuring the right product for you and your project. You can browse the shared session page for our ensemble sizes and prices for estimated costings. Once you fill in a contact form a member of our team will be in touch with you promptly to discuss further, uploading your scores in the contact form can help speed up the process if deadlines are short. For shared sessions a deposit of 30% is required to secure the slot, 40% at least 1 month prior to the session date and remaining 30% upon delivery of the recorded files.

If you're unsure about how much time to book please contact us with your scores (even if draft) or mockups. Our team will then suggest an amount of time suited to your project.
