03. How long should I book for?

When it comes on deciding how much time you need for your session, the answers are endless. For the most accurate quote it is best to contact us and we can have a chat about what you want to get out of your session and decide from there.

We do have session deals which are a set amount of time at a discounted price. You can find a full list of all our offers here.

04. What should I bring to the session?

When you meet with your producer/engineer before the session he will talk through with you what you need to bring and what equipment we have here for you to use.

05. Can I use my own producer/engineer

At the moment we only use our own engineers as it is a new studio and needs that extra bit of TLC. Producer wise we are always happy to get outside opinions and welcome any that you wish to work with.

06. How much will my session cost?

You can either contact us to talk about your session or go over to the rates page and see what session meets your needs.

07. How can I pay for the session?

At the moment we only take cash and cheques made payable to Runke D G T/A Element Studio. We also have offers that you can buy via our secure Paypal account.

08. Are there any payment terms?

For any advanced booking we ask for a small deposit, for bands it's £50 and for any small acts or solo artists it is £25. The rest of the money must be paid up in full at the end of the session. No audio will be passed over until all money has been paid in full.

09. What hapens if my session over runs?

This is all decided at the producer's/engineer's discretion. If only a small amount of work is left to do then they are likely to to carry on free of charge until it is finished. If this is not the case then you will be charged at the normal hourly rate provided the studio is still available to use.

10. How will I get my completed recordings?

At the end of the session you will be given the master on a printed Element CD-R provided the session has been payed for in full. You also have the choice to have your audio taken away on a DVD-R if you require any raw audio. We also use a secure FTP service if you require an audio but are unable to get to the studio.

11. How available is the studio?

The best way is to contact and see when we are free to arrange dates for your session.

12. Can I view the studio before my session?

Yes you can! If you contact us about it then we can give you an appointment time to look around and have a chat with us.

13. Can I cancel my session?

You can cancel your session but any cancellations within 48 hours of your session will result in a loss of your deposit. We do ask for a minimum of 48 hours notice for any cancellations.

14. Are there any vacancies?

At the moment we are not looking to employ anyone or do any work experience. We are always looking for ways to expand the Element family so feel free to contact us with any ideas you may have!
