Frequently asked questions

Grouped answers on booking, sessions, files and payment. Legal detail is in our terms and conditions and privacy policy.

Booking and scheduling

How do I reserve a session?

Use the contact form, call 020 261 3844 or email [email protected]. Include service, desired duration and dates. Within 2 working days we send a slot proposal and written quote. After acceptance and a 40 % deposit, the date is firm.

How fast do you reply?

We aim for within 2 working days on days we are open, Tue–Fri 09:30–21, Sat 10–17. Weekend requests are handled on the next Tuesday unless we agree otherwise by phone.

Can I reschedule or cancel?

More than 7 calendar days before the session is free. Inside that window, the deposit may be forfeited or moved once as set out in our terms and conditions. Force majeure is discussed case by case.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes. 40 % of the quoted amount confirms the reservation and offsets the balance. The figure on the quote includes VAT.

Is the studio appointment-only?

Yes. Tuesday–Friday 09:30–21:00, Saturday 10:00–17:00, closed Sunday and Monday. Without a booking there is no engineer on site. Please do not walk in unannounced; call or email for urgent needs.

During the session

Is an engineer always present?

Yes for all booked in-studio recording. Unattended mixing is available under Mixing: you supply stems and we work without you in the control room; that is listed separately on the quote.

How many people fit in the live room?

Up to 5 musicians at once with iso spots. Larger casts are usually planned as podcast sessions or staggered overdubs in the vocal booth.

What if we need more time?

Overruns only at your request and when the next slot allows. Extra time is billed in 15-minute steps at the booked service hourly rate, as in our terms.

Can I bring guests?

One or two people in the control room is typical. Larger audiences can disturb tracking; tell us beforehand so we can judge space and safety.

From what age can I book?

From 16 with your own consent. Younger visitors book through a legal guardian who is present for the session.

Files and delivery

What format do you deliver?

Multitracks and mixes as 24-bit WAV at 48 kHz by default, unless your project uses another sample rate. Masters follow your loudness target; we agree that before mastering.

How do I receive files?

Via secure download link or copy to your drive if you bring one. Large ensemble sessions include extra export time on the quote.

How long do you keep projects?

24 months after the last session or delivery. We then delete files from our servers. Keep your own backups; we are not an archive service.

How many revisions are included in mix and master?

By default 2 revision rounds per quoted item, with feedback via timestamps or notes. Extra rounds are possible as additional work on the quote.

Where can I read prep tips?

In the guides, for example on stems before mastering or references for a mix. Service pages link to the matching article.

Rights and use

Who owns the recordings?

After full payment for the agreed service, recordings we make for you belong to you within the scope of our terms. We do not claim co-ownership of your music.

May Molgulaxeno use my material for promotion?

Only with your written consent per project. By default we do not use your audio in marketing without separate approval.

Do you train AI on client audio?

No. We do not use client recordings to train machine-learning models and we do not create voice clones without explicit written consent from the person involved.

What about personal data?

Contact and booking data is processed by Molgulaxeno B.V. under our privacy policy. For business jobs involving third-party personal data, a data processing agreement is available.

Payment and rates

Do prices include VAT?

Yes. All listed rates on Services and service pages include 21 % VAT, with ex-VAT columns where shown. Example: Vocals and speech recording at €98 per hour incl. VAT.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer for deposit and balance; card payment in the studio on session days. Business clients pay within 14 days on invoice unless agreed otherwise.

Are there blocks or packages?

Yes per service: half and full days for recording, EP and album rates for mix and master, podcast blocks for eight episodes. See Services for amounts incl. VAT.

What if my project is larger than the listed rates?

Request a custom quote via Contact. We estimate hours, revisions and export and put everything in writing before we start.

Where are cancellation rules explained?

Summarised on Services and in full in the terms and conditions. If unsure, email [email protected] before you pay.
