Priced per song, not by the clock
Instead of an open-ended hourly bill, each song has a clear base price: your chosen hourly rate times 12 included studio hours. Every song also includes 3 revision rounds.

|---|---|---|---|
| $35/hr | 12 | 3 | $420 |
| $40/hr | 12 | 3 | $480 |
| $45/hr | 12 | 3 | $540 |
| $50/hr | 12 | 3 | $600 |
| $55/hr | 12 | 3 | $660 |
| $60/hr | 12 | 3 | $720 |
| $65/hr | 12 | 3 | $780 |

How to keep a project on budget
- Rehearse first. Studio hours go further when parts are learned.
- Settle the arrangement. Decide structure and tempo before tracking.
- Bring references. A few tracks that show the sound you want save time.
- Consolidate revision notes. One clear list per round beats many small requests.
- Plan the whole release. Packages reward committing to the full body of work.
Hourly sessions

Prices are in Canadian dollars. GST is charged on all services starting in 2027.
Rates also set how ownership is shared. Lower rates mean a lower upfront cost and a retained interest for the studio; the top rate means full artist ownership. Read how it works.
