We do day rates for recording at Friends of Friends Recording set at $500/day.
This is inclusive of;
• the studio space
•Brok's time engineering
• all in-house backline and equipment
We do this for a few reasons, but mostly to try and mitigate potential artist anxiety stemming from having to manage a clock during sessions and keeping the space focused on the artist's vision for that day.
A full recording day here starts at 10am and goes till 6pm, with a lunch break, unless we've discussed otherwise.
For times where an artist might need 2 hours or so to revise something quickly, we can also do hourly at $75/hr (2 hour min).
-
For stereo mixing, we do flat rates of $400/song. For projects with over 10 songs, we charge $350/song for each additional song (after the first 10 songs).
That includes;
• all revisions
• alternative mix versions (instrumental, clean, tv/show, acapella, etc)
• mixed stems
We are now offering mixing in Dolby Atmos as well! Here’s a link to rates and info on this process.
We also have a Patreon where we live stream mix sessions for our subscribers to learn about the mixing process. If you'd like your music to be considered for this and get a potential discount on your mixing apply here!
-
For mastering, we do $100/song. For projects with more than 10 songs, we charge $75/additional song (after the first 10).
That includes;
• all revisions
• alternate master versions when needed & provided with the final mix (instrumental, clean, tv/show etc).

If you are a freelance producer/engineer hoping to use our studio space for your own clientele, you are welcome with a professional reference or with an assistant FOF engineer present for your session.
The cost of the studio for freelancers (without Brok engineering) is $300/day (plus the assistant engineer rate if needed). Or $30/hr (2hr min).
An assistant engineer is $150/day if needed or required.

Are you looking to just get you or your bands song recorded and ready for release?
For some, an affordable, flat-bundled rate and process might be more helpful rather than navigating all the different scheduling needed to have a finished song.
For $500, we offer a 1 day, 8 hour session of recording and mixing for one single (with mastering post your session) and 1 round of mix and mastering revisions*.
This option is ideal for:
artists wanting time to track final vocals and production on a single
bands wanting to record live with minimal overdubs
artists that have a well developed idea of their songs parts and production
folks that want a quick, easy and professional option to get a single ready for release
For more info and availability on this bundled option, click here.
*Each additional revision past your first is an additional $50
To lock in a session date, we ask for a 50% deposit for the work to be done. The final payment will be due when the service is rendered (final mixes, masters, or the date of your recording session).
