Legacy Recording Studios
Booking

See what the session costs before you ask

The worst part of booking a studio is the part where you have to ask what it costs, and then wait. On studios that take bookings, the price is on the page — session, add-ons, any weekend or late-night uplift, and the deposit, all itemised before you send anything.

  • Itemised price up front
  • Add-ons included
  • A request, not a commitment

The number you see is the number they set

The same pricing engine runs on the studio's page as in the owner's Control Room. The quote is not an estimate someone will revise once they have your phone number — it is the studio's own rate card doing the arithmetic.

You pick a room, a date, a start time and a length, add anything you need, and the total appears with every line broken out: the session, any after-hours portion with the hours it applied to, any weekend uplift with its percentage, add-ons, and the deposit due now.

  • Session cost, with day rates applied as caps where they beat hourly
  • Add-ons priced per hour, per session or per person
  • After-hours and weekend uplifts shown as their own lines, never buried
  • Deposit due now, separated from the total

Add what you actually need

A session is rarely just the room. Studios list their add-ons alongside the rates — a tracking engineer, extra headphone mixes for everyone playing, gear hire, a comping and tuning pass afterwards.

Each is priced the way the studio actually charges for it, so a five-piece and a solo vocalist do not get quoted the same number for the same room.

You are sending a request, not spending money

Nothing is charged on Legacy and nothing is confirmed automatically unless the studio has chosen instant booking. Your request arrives in the owner's inbox as pending, and they confirm or decline it.

You are notified either way. If it is confirmed you deal with the studio directly on payment, exactly as you would have if you had phoned — the difference is you both already agree on what the session includes and what it costs.

  • Legacy never takes payment and never charges a booking fee
  • The studio confirms or declines — you hear back either way
  • The request records what you selected, so nothing is disputed later
  • Your bookings live in one place in your account

Questions artists ask

Does Legacy charge me a booking fee?
No. Legacy does not process payments and adds nothing to the studio's price. What you see is the studio's own rate — we take nothing from either side of the booking.
Am I committing to anything when I send a request?
No. It is a request. The studio confirms or declines it, and you are told either way. Nothing is charged through Legacy at any point.
Why is my quote higher than the hourly rate suggests?
Usually a weekend or after-hours uplift, or add-ons. Both appear as their own lines with the percentage or the hours they applied to, so you can see exactly what added the cost — and change the date or time to avoid it.
What if the studio I want does not take online bookings?
Send an enquiry from the listing instead. It reaches the owner the same way and they reply to you directly.
