Quick Answers
Before You Book

Our hourly rate starts at INR 699 for sound recording. Music production, dubbing, and mixing/mastering have their own pricing tiers based on session scope. Each service page lists current rates, and the booking screen shows the final price before payment.

Pick the service you need from a service page, browse admin-published slots on /book-studio, choose a slot, fill in your details, and submit a request. The studio reviews and replies within 24 hours during studio days. There is no online payment.

You can book up to 60 days in advance. Same-day bookings are sometimes possible — please check by WhatsApp or phone for slot availability within 24 hours of the session.

Cancellations or reschedules made 48 hours or more before the session are free. Inside 48 hours, no-shows and late cancels are flagged on your account; no money is charged because no money has been collected on the website. Repeat no-shows may be deprioritised at studio discretion.

A booking request reserves the slot softly while the studio reviews it. If the studio does not respond within 48 hours the slot is auto-released and the booking is cancelled. You can re-request a slot at any time.

Payment happens offline at the studio. Once the studio confirms your request, you settle the agreed session fee at the studio in person -- UPI, card, cash, or bank transfer. The website does not collect any payment.

Studio Smart One sessions involve scope, room, equipment, and engineer choices that are best confirmed in a quick call before money changes hands. Skipping the upfront-checkout step keeps every booking flexible and prevents refund friction when plans change.

Service pages list a starting-from rate as a guideline. Once you submit a request the studio replies within 24 hours during studio days with a confirmed amount based on your scope.
