Studio Prices, Contact Us & Bookings


The base rate is $90 /hr (2 hours min $180).

If a client books 10 hours, which can be 2 x 5 hour sessions, it is charged at the 10 hr day rate of $65 /hr ($650/10 hours)

Once 10 hours has been completed, all extra hours are charged at $65 /hr.

Longer projects are still charged at $65 / hr, but I tend to charge an hour or 2 less here and there as the project goes on.

The pricing includes my services as Engineer, use of all recording and outboard equipment (no extra fees), and clients that book 10 or more hours get the use of any instruments / amps that the studio has.

I also work fast (within reason) and to a budget. 

You do not have to pay a deposit when making a booking, however if you cancel a booking at least 48 hours notice is required or a cancellation fee of $100 will apply.

Unfortunately due to a few non-paying people (polite term) that have spoilt it for everyone, full payment is expected at the end of each session and before recorded material leaves the studio, unless prior arrangements have been made.  

If you would like to meet up and discuss the project please email:

About Witzend



Witzend Studio has a good sized live room and plenty of space to set up.  The studio is equipped with an automated mixing console and a full range of rack equipment.  Recording is via a Presonus Quantum 48 channel interface to Reaper Software. There is also 2 x TASCAM 24 track digital hard disk recorders, with a 16 track analogue recorder available. All recorders can be synchronised together if required.


If you like to work at home but have problems tracking, for example, Drums, Guitars, Bass or Vocals, these can be tracked at Witzend and the recordings supplied to you in your required file format.  There is also a good selection of software on hand for both recording and midi Sequencing.

For cash strapped bands, Witzend Studio’s has the ability to record a live in the studio demo.  The band plays live in the studio as they would in a rehearsal room with no overdubs, the live recording is then mixed and mastered.  The demo is then burnt to CD or supplied as WAV, MP3, DDP or almost any file format as required.  This method of recording takes far less time than a full multitrack recording and although there are some limitations, a good demo of what the band really sounds like is the result.

Another service Witzend Studio’s can offer is the transfer of most older formats to CD/Digital or MP3, i.e. Cassette tape, 1/4” tape, DAT tape & Vinyl, and cleaning up and re-mastering old band recordings.

Alan with his experience and expertise can help you to produce a world class recording with reasonable hourly rates and discounts for longer projects.
