  1. New rates effective 1/1/2012

    Our studio fee is $60 an hour, which includes a staff engineer. An assistant engineer can also be provided if needed, at no extra charge.

    If you bring your own engineer, the rate is $200 for the first 4 hours and $30 an hour thereafter.* A staff engineer will be on site throughout the session to provide assistance if needed.

    Get in touch to discuss your project or to arrange a visit.

    SCHEDULING & BOOKING POLICY

    We don’t require a deposit in advance*, but session dates are not considered “firm” unless you do. If another client wants the same time, you’ll have a chance to firm the date with a deposit.

    Deposits are equal to 1/2 of the total estimated project cost. For deposits, we accept cash, money order, cashier’s check, or PayPal (3.5% processing charge will be applied to PayPal payments).

    All services are C.O.D. We do not extend credit to any individual nor to any company other than large corporate institutions such as major record, motion picture, and television companies.

    Your balance must be paid in full at the end of each session.

    No partial payments. A session must be paid for, in full, before the start of the next session.

    If you cancel your session without sufficient notice, we may charge you for any and all such time which we can’t reschedule.

    No materials will be released until C.O.D. account has been settled in full.

    No personal checks will be accepted unless management grants that privilege in advance.

    *NOTE: Full payment in advance is required for sessions run by non-Kennel engineers.

    LIABILITY
    We are not legally or financially responsible for items brought into or left on the premises. This includes master tapes, hard drives, or any media left at The Kennel during sessions or before payment.

    DIGITAL MEDIA WAIVER
    The Kennel Recording Studio is not responsible for:

    • storing your data or audio tapes during the course of a recording project, nor after the project is completed
    • data left on premises, either the dissemination of said data or loss thereof
    • educating or instructing any client on the care and safety of digital data
    • unrecoverable data, whether it be on analog tape, hard drive, CD-R or DVD-R media

  2. “The Kennel is a perfect spot for capturing the excitement and immediacy of a live sound. With lots of analog gear the vibe in this sweet Bushwick room is full of texture and warmth — both sonically and personally. Billy, the engineer and also a great producer, is really sensitive to listening for that magic moment and focusing everyone in the room towards it. You’ll leave happy!“
