FAQ

Questions artists ask before booking.

Quick answers for choosing the right room, team and recording path at Executive Studios.

Can I bring files on my phone?

Yes, but cloud links and phone-only files can slow the session down. A clean folder is better.

Should I bring references?

Can I bring guests?

Ask before the session and keep the room focused on people who help the project.
