The better prepared you are, the more we can accomplish during your session.

• Arrive well rehearsed and ready to perform.

• Get a good night's sleep and stay hydrated in the days leading up to your session.

• Bring any instruments, accessories, lyric sheets, reference tracks, and anything else you'll need.

• If you have demos, session files, or backing tracks, please send them before your session whenever possible.

• For vocal sessions, avoid alcohol, smoking, excessive dairy, and spicy foods for several hours beforehand. Stay hydrated throughout the day, but avoid drinking excessive amounts of water immediately before recording, as it can create excess saliva and mouth noise.

• Most importantly, come relaxed and ready to have fun. Great performances come from artists who are prepared and comfortable.

If you're running late, please let us know as soon as possible. Your session begins at the scheduled start time and ends at the scheduled finish time, regardless of your arrival time. While we'll do our best to accommodate you, sessions generally cannot be extended beyond the time you've booked.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, we ask for at least 48 hours' notice. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice may be subject to the full session fee, and any deposits paid are non-refundable.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to reserve your session. The remaining balance is due at the end of your session unless other arrangements have been made in advance.

If you need to reschedule, we're happy to accommodate one schedule change provided we receive at least 48 hours' notice. With less than 48 hours' notice, the deposit is forfeited and a new deposit will be required to book another session.

We accept Interac e-Transfer, cash, and major credit cards.

Final deliverables vary depending on your project. Standard deliveries include high-resolution WAV and MP3 files, along with up to two revision rounds.

Additional deliverables such as instrumentals, TV mixes, a cappella versions, stems, radio edits, alternate mixes, session exports, and other custom files are available upon request. Please let us know your requirements before final delivery so we can ensure everything you need is included.

Custom deliverables that fall outside the original project scope or require additional studio time are billed at the current hourly rate.

Once your project has been paid for in full, you'll receive your final masters and are free to commercially release and distribute them, subject to any separate songwriting, publishing, production, or licensing agreements that may apply.

Standard final deliverables include high-resolution WAV and MP3 files. Stems are available upon request for an additional fee.

Raw multitrack session files, DAW project files, templates, plugin settings, and other production assets remain the property of Frequency Studios and are not included unless specifically agreed upon in writing before the project begins.

You're welcome to bring one or two guests, provided they won't interfere with the creative process.

Keep in mind that every additional person in the studio naturally requires attention and can affect the pace and focus of the session. Limiting guests helps us stay focused on your project, make the most of your booked studio time, and achieve the best possible results.

If you're planning to bring more than two guests, please let us know in advance so we can discuss the best arrangement.

Every project is different, and timelines depend on the scope of work, scheduling, revisions, and client responsiveness.

At the start of your project, we'll provide an estimated timeline and keep you informed throughout the process. Prompt communication, timely approvals, and arriving prepared for your sessions will help keep your project on schedule.

Your project includes up to two revision rounds for mixing and two revision rounds for mastering.

Revision requests should be submitted as a single, consolidated list whenever possible. Additional revisions or changes beyond the included rounds are billed at the current hourly rate.

Session files are backed up during active production to help protect your project. While we make reasonable efforts to retain completed projects, long-term archival storage is not guaranteed. Once your final files have been delivered, we strongly recommend downloading and backing them up in at least two separate locations.

Projects with no client communication or progress for 60 days may be considered inactive. If a project is placed on hold or becomes inactive, we will contact you before any monthly project storage fees are applied.

Frequency Studios is not responsible for lost files after final delivery or after the removal of inactive projects from our archives.

Our goal is to create a final product that you're proud of. Throughout the project, we'll work closely with you, gather feedback, and make revisions to ensure we're moving in the right direction.

If something isn't working, let us know as early as possible. Clear communication throughout the process leads to the best results. Your project includes up to two revision rounds for mixing and two revision rounds for mastering. Additional revisions or changes beyond the included rounds are billed at the current hourly rate.

Absolutely. Projects often evolve as new ideas come up.

If you'd like to add services such as additional recording, editing, production, vocal tuning, songwriting, session musicians, mixing, mastering, artwork, release planning, or other creative work, we'll provide an updated estimate before proceeding. Any additional work outside the original project scope will be billed at the current hourly rate or quoted separately.
