What's it cost? Backthird Audio's hourly rate is $75/hour - but you might never have to pay it. We schedule studio time by the session, NOT by the hour, because we think you create better music when you're not looking at your watch's minute hand the whole time.

Sessions, not hours. There are three studio sessions a day (morning, afternoon and evening) - and three more at night! That means a single session could last as long as 4 hours, and cost you way less than the hourly rate. But what matters isn't how many minutes you spend here. It's how much you like your sound when you leave.

Projects save more. Projects like an album, and EP or a radio single quaflify for even deeper discounts than our Single Visit rate. We'll write you a single contract for ALL the work you need done. The bigger the project, the bigger the savings!

For a quick estimate, provide the information below and we'll be in touch asap with what we think your project will cost. If possible, we'll send several different options for you to compare. There's more than one way to make a record, after all.
