Stefo PizaI've been a client at Undercaste Sudios for the last 17 years. There is absolutely no other recording studio that I would use…

Booking terms
Sessions with an engineer are 3-hour blocks, billed hourly at $70 to $100 an hour depending on the engineer we match you with. That is $210 to $300 for 3 hours. Every room is the same price. Rates can change.
Everything is billed hourly, including recording, editing, mixing, mastering, voiceover and consultation. We do not have per-song prices.
Beat production is billed hourly in the studio, plus a beat production fee that you agree with the producer or engineer for your project. Some charge nothing beyond the hourly rate; some add a fee.
We may ask for a deposit of half the session cost at booking, especially from newer clients and for same-day or next-day sessions.
A deposit paid within 48 hours of the session is not refundable. A deposit paid more than 48 hours ahead is refundable as long as you cancel before the 48-hour window. A deposit stays with the session it was paid for and is not carried to a different session.
Please give 48 hours notice to reschedule or cancel; a week is better.
Shorter than 3 hours: text us your plan. Shorter sessions usually run a higher hourly rate and are usually billed as a 3-hour block.
Studio C is $40 an hour for the room and its gear, with no engineer and no computer. Bring your own computer. 2-hour minimum.
We usually text back within one hour between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m., and always within 24 hours.
