Recording a song can vary from just an hour or 2 to 10+ hours. The time it takes to record each song will depend on the number of tracks that will be recorded, the level of musicianship of each member, and the setup time for each instrument. Set up time is part of the hourly rate, so keep in mind that some instruments may take time to set up (ie; drums). 

Come to the studio well practiced! And make sure that all the creative work for each song is done well ahead of the scheduled session. Artists far too often come in and use studio time on lyrics or song form that could have been spent actually recording the song. Bringing in some tracks recorded from home may help too.

If you are bringing song files, either email us the files (zipped into individual song folders) or bring them on a flash drive. Also have BPM (tempo) ready for each song that you bring in with pre-recorded files.

Producing, in the professional world, is a term used to describe the creative process of writing, arranging, & putting together a song. Recording (or tracking) is specifically the process of setting up microphones and recording each instrument or person in a way that sounds most appealing. We offer both but they are priced differently as the value of a fantastically written song, and an amazing production will define the song. Please refer to our production page for more info.

We offer discounts to customers that leave 5 star reviews on google!

We do offer the studio for rent which includes an assistant to help you run the studio for your own projects. This is not available for just anyone. Engineers wanting to do this must be pre-approved by the owner. For further inquiries, contact us at coldhousestudio@gmail.com

We are always accepting interns with open arms. There are always jobs to be done. If you are willing to put in the time and work in exchange for some studio/business knowledge, email us your resume and cover letter to coldhousestudio@gmail.com (we are official intern creditors for both UVU and BYU).

At the moment, we are not hiring any full time or part time engineers. When we do, we will probably pick an intern... so there's that.

Most payments will go through our partner Stripe either here on the website or in your Filepass folder where your files are sent. These transactions are secure and well documented!

• We'll make sure that your tone and takes are perfect. I have been playing guitar professionally for years and am a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. I'm not afraid to let you know when something isn't quite right, but I'm also going to give you very clear help and instructions to fix what might be wrong. None of the "it isn't quite fluffy enough" kind of jargon.

• I'm also very open to helping add or write new parts for songs, whether it be harmonies, vocal choirs, guitar, synths, keys, drums or sound design. The sky is the limit. If you have an idea but don't know quite how to make it happen, I bet we could make something cool.

A great producer is an organizer of a project. The person that makes a written song go from an idea to the best version of itself it can be. In the past a producer may have only gathered instrumentalists and engineers and organized what needed to be done. Now, producers do that and with modern technology, can wear the hats of the recording engineer, composer, studio musician and editor. Basically, a producer is the most important thing your well written song needs.
