Frequently asked questions

Grouped answers on booking, sessions, files and payment. If anything differs, our terms and conditions and privacy policy prevail.

Booking and payment

How do I request a session?

Use the contact form, 020 789 0416 or [email protected]. Describe service, duration and preferred dates. We send a quote within 2 working days with price incl. VAT and a proposed slot.

When is my booking firm?

After written acceptance of the quote (email is enough) and receipt of the 30 % deposit. Without both, the slot stays open for others.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer for deposit and balance; card payment in the studio when the terminal is available. IBAN and reference appear on quote and invoice.

When do I pay the balance?

Consumers usually pay at the end of the session or when offline mix/master is delivered. Business clients within 14 days of invoice unless the quote says otherwise.

Are website prices binding?

They are indicative. Examples: €325 half-day vocals, €920 full band day. Your tailored quote wins if duration or extras differ.

During the session

How long does vocal recording take per song?

For a three- to four-minute lead, allow two to four hours including warm-up and comping. More tracks or tight harmonies need more time — a half day is often safer than a tight hour block.

Can I bring someone along?

One or two guests in control is normal. For larger groups, agree upfront so focus and safety in the live room stay manageable.

What if I arrive late?

Your booked time starts on schedule. Lateness shortens the session without discount unless the engineer agrees in writing to shift time and the next slot allows it.

Can I buy extra hours?

Only if you ask and the following slot is free. Extra time is billed at the service hourly rate, e.g. €125 for band.

What is the minimum age?

Independent booking from age 18. Younger performers are welcome with an adult who stays present and handles payment and conduct.

Files and delivery

What format do you deliver?

24-bit WAV via secure download by default, at project sample rate unless agreed otherwise. Podcast raw can also be exported to an agreed platform format.

How long do you keep sessions?

Up to 24 months after the last activity on the job. We then delete archive copies. Keeping your own backups remains your responsibility.

When does offline mix or master start?

Once complete, usable stems or stereo mixes are received and checked. See file formats for mixing for naming and sample rate.

How many revisions are included?

Mix: 2 bundled revision rounds in the standard price. Mastering: one revision round included with mastering. Extra rounds are quoted separately.

Do I get raw takes?

Depends on the quote. Raw multitrack export can be added; final masters are released after full payment.

Rights and use

Who owns the recordings?

After full payment the studio does not co-own your masters. You remain responsible for rights in music, samples and lyrics you supply. More context: rights after a vocal session.

Do you use my audio for AI training?

No. We do not use client recordings to train AI systems and we do not clone voices without separate written consent.

May Morceauxnode show my work in a portfolio?

Only with your written approval for name, logo or audio excerpts. Without approval sessions stay internal.

What about personal data in podcasts?

Participants should know they are being recorded. Business clients supplying guest data may need our data processing agreement. See privacy policy.

Do I have a cooling-off period as a consumer?

Distance contracts generally allow 14 days to withdraw. If you ask the session to start earlier with explicit consent, you pay a fair share for work already done if you withdraw. See article 7.

Cancellation and practical

Can I cancel for free?

Yes, until 7 days before the session. Inside that window the deposit is retained unless we resell the slot. Same-day no-show: full session price minus deposit already paid.

What are your opening hours?

Monday–Friday 09:30–18:30, Saturday by appointment. Closed on Sunday. Sessions outside office hours are sometimes possible on request and appear on the quote.

How do I reach the studio?

Trams 1 and 7 stop at Overtoom; from that stop it is about a 2-minute walk to number 301. From Amsterdam Centraal, tram 1 towards Osdorp takes roughly 15 minutes. By bike from Leidseplein it is about 6 minutes via Overtoom. Address: Overtoom 301, 1054 GL Amsterdam. Parking: 2 on-site spots when available.

Where do I compare rates?
Services lists every line with excl. and incl. VAT. Band budget tips: band recording budget. Vocal prep: warm-up guide.
How do I complain?

In writing via [email protected] with description and quote number. We acknowledge receipt and usually reply within 2 working days. Consumers may also use the EU ODR platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
