TERMS & CONDITIONS – YAM & BANANA STUDIO
Effective from 1st April 2025
Yam & Banana Studio Terms & Conditions:
By booking the Yam & Banana Studio, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions:
1. Studio Rates & Booking
- Studio time is £25 per hour. Charges apply from the scheduled booking time, regardless of the artist’s arrival time, and will conclude at the end of the booked period. The final 10 minutes of the session will be allocated for bouncing files, processing payment, and wrapping up.
2. Mixing & Mastering Services
- Attended Mixing Sessions (In-Studio): Mixing sessions booked as part of a studio session do not include any additional edits, revisions, or alternative versions (e.g., clean edits, acapellas, stems, etc.) beyond what is completed during the booked time. Any extra work required after the session will be charged separately at the normal studio rate.
- Online/Unattended Mixing & Mastering: The Mix & Master service, done remotely, generally provides better results as the engineer has more time to fine-tune the mix without session constraints. This service costs £80 for a vocal mix and £150 for a full mix, which includes mixing the instrumental. It includes four revisions. Clean radio edits, acapellas, stems, and TV/PA tracks are included and will be delivered once the final mix is approved.
3. Payment Policy
- Payment is due at the end of the recording session, either by cash or card.
- For the Online/Unattended Mixing & Mastering service, the final WAV and MP3 files will be sent once full payment has been received.
4. Cancellations & Rescheduling
- Cancellations or reschedules must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
- Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a 50% cancellation fee.
- No-shows will be charged the full session fee.
5. Late Arrivals & Overtime Charges
- Sessions will begin and end at the scheduled times. Late arrivals will not extend the session.
- If additional time is required beyond the booked session, it will be charged at £15 per every 30 minutes, subject to availability.
6. Studio Rules & Conduct
- No smoking, vaping, or excessive alcohol consumption is allowed in the studio.
- A maximum of three guests per artist is permitted unless otherwise agreed upon in advance.
- Clients must respect the studio environment, staff, and equipment. Any disruptive behaviour may result in session termination without a refund.
7. Equipment & Damage Policy
- Clients are responsible for any damage caused to studio equipment due to negligence or misuse.
- Repair or replacement costs will be charged accordingly.
8. Data Storage & Backup Policy
- Upon payment, you obtain legal ownership of all sound recordings produced during your session.
- The final files/mixes will be transferred to your drive or email at the end of the session. Please ensure you take your files with you or request them within three months of your session; after this period, files may be deleted from our drives.
- We recommend booking sufficient time to allow for file transfers (approximately 5–10 minutes per song).
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
