          Q&A

          Never recorded in a studio before. I’m scared as hell!
          We totally get it.

          We also feel anxious and nervous when trying out a new service for the first time. Even when we know we have the money, we need it, and it’ll be worth it.

          But it’s still scary.
          Here’s what we suggest:

          Just leave your name and number in the form below, and we’ll get in touch.

          We’ll set up an online or offline meeting,
          get to know each other. See how you feel about working with me, and I’ll see how I feel about working with you. This meeting doesn’t commit you to anything. If something’s off — whether it’s our experience, skills, rates, equipment, or even my voice — you're not obligated to pay.

          We always give you the right to say “no.”
          I can’t sing. Will you make me sound good?
          If you’re unsure about your abilities, we’ll do everything to make you sound great:

          — We can invite a vocal coach to guide you and loosen you up during the session.
          — We can bring in pro singers and subtly mix them in with your final recording so you sound strong.
          — We’ll edit and tune your vocals so you come out sounding good.
          Can I see the equipment list?
          Of course! Here it is:

          — Audio Interface — Audient ID44 Mk II
          — OS — Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 / Windows 11 Pro
          — DAW — Ableton Live 12 Suite
          — Tube condenser mic — RODE NTK
          — Dynamic mic — Shure SM7b
          — Dynamic mic — Electro-Voice RE20
          — Stereo pair of dynamic mics — Shure SM57
          — Closed-back headphones — beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro
          — Open-back headphones — beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro
          — Studio monitors — Amphion One15
          — MIDI Keyboard — Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32
          — Acoustic guitar with piezo — Ibanez AE-245 NT
          — Electric guitar — ESP LTD TE-254
          — 5-string bass guitar — Cort
          — Premium Direct Box by Simple Way
          Do I need to prep for the recording?
          Yes, it’s highly recommended to practice your song a few times before coming to the studio.

          This will save you 15–30 minutes during the session.

          You don’t need to memorize the lyrics. You can glance at your phone, but it’s better to print them on A4 paper. We suggest not holding the paper in your hands but putting it on a music stand. We’ve got one in the studio.

          It’s also good to bring some water. If you forget, no worries — we’ll provide our own.

          Here’s how to prep:

          1. Rehearse the song at home.
          2. Print the lyrics and bring them to the studio.
          3. Bring a bottle of still water.
          Can I be present during the arrangement, mixing, and mastering?
          Yes! We love that even more.
          It becomes a collaborative process.
          Do I have to come to Vladivostok?
          Nope. We can write and mix the song remotely.

          For vocal recording, we’ll find the nearest studio to you. I know what to look for, so I’ll help you pick a good one.

          I’ll give clear instructions for the recording. You’ll work with a local sound engineer to lay down the vocals.

          They’ll send me the files. If everything’s fine, I’ll finish the track.
          Why so expensive?
          Short answer: it’s worth it.

          Longer answer:

          We operate legally, pay taxes on all income, and are registered as a business.

          We use licensed software. Programs, plugins. We play fair and pay developers for the tools we earn money with.

          We have high-end equipment. Microphones, preamps, acoustic treatment. The raw recordings come out sounding 👍🏻.

          In the end — we do it really well, consider your wishes, are pleasant to deal with, and always meet deadlines.

          Basically, we’re reliable and consistent. If something goes wrong, we don’t ghost you.

          Instead, we face problems head-on and discuss how to fix them.

          If it’s tough to pay 30,000–50,000–200,000 rubles all at once, we can offer installment plans through our partner bank.

          Alternatively — you could always record in a foam-padded booth with some local rappers using a RODE NT-1A and Focusrite Solo for 4,000 rubles. For that price, they’ll write the music, tweak the lyrics, edit your vocals, and mix it. They might even throw in a cover design.

          I’m not saying they do a bad job. But we charge what we do for a reason.
          Can you make me a star?
          Not exactly, but we can help.

          We create music. We make the product. We make something for you to promote. Right now, we don’t handle promotion or marketing.

          We offer the best recording conditions we can. We constantly upgrade our equipment to improve the quality of mixing.

          But good music, recording, and mixing are only 25% of a song’s success. Another 25% is the concept behind the song — the lyrics, the story, the emotion. The remaining 50% is promotion.

          Promotion is a different craft. It requires different tools and budgets.

          That’s what marketers at music labels do.

          If your goal is to break into the indie/hip-hop/rock/pop scene, we suggest learning about marketing, the music business, and staying friendly and easy to work with.
          Do the neighbors complain about the noise?
          Not at all. Not once in three years. In fact, they think it’s cool and like that people sing in the studio. The whole floor knows what I do.

          They’re supportive and positive. We have a great relationship with our neighbors, and we value that.
