Every service below states what is included and what it costs. A price marked “from” is the lowest price for the stated scope; a custom price is quoted in writing before anything is set aside. Nothing on this page holds a session.
01
$620 per day
Eight hours in the main room with one engineer, the house microphones, preamps and console, recorded to multitrack. Setup and sound checks come out of the eight hours, not on top of them, and the session files are handed over on the day in a format any recording program opens. Session players and instrument hire are arranged separately. Send the preferred date through the contact form before anything else.

02
$240 per block
Four hours in the vocal booth with an engineer and one microphone chain chosen for the voice before the first take. The block covers lead and backing vocals over an existing recording, brought on a drive or sent ahead, and the comped takes are delivered the same evening. It is sized for one singer; a second voice is a second block.

03
$150 per song
One finished stereo mix mastered for streaming and for disc, with loudness, balance and the gaps between songs set by ear on the room’s monitors. One round of revisions is included and the final files are delivered as WAV. The mix is sent ahead and nobody needs to attend, though anyone who wants to listen in may.

04
From $380 per song
A song mixed on the console with the artist in the room to hear every change as it is made. The mix is printed with an instrumental and a vocal-up version beside it. The fee starts at three hundred and eighty dollars for up to twenty-four tracks and rises with the track count; the figure is confirmed in writing once the session files have been seen.
Best for
05
From $900 per day
The live room for a full band recording together, with two engineers, the house drum kit, two amplifiers and the upright piano. The fee starts at nine hundred dollars for up to five players and rises with the headcount and the number of microphones; the figure is confirmed in writing before the date is held.

06
Custom quoted in writing
Quarter-inch, half-inch and two-inch tape, cassette and DAT transferred to digital files on calibrated machines. The price depends on the format, the number of reels and the condition of the tape, and a written quotation follows a look at the boxes. Nothing on this website holds a machine or a date; the enquiry opens a conversation by email or telephone.

The contact form sends the name, email address, optional telephone number, the service named and the message. Nothing else is collected and nothing is charged.
Silas Wren answers by email or telephone during opening hours, confirms the scope and states the price that applies. A “from” or custom price becomes an exact figure at this point.
Only after that reply is anything held. Book a session opens the same enquiry form as every other contact action on this website, so a date is asked for here and confirmed by the studio separately; the website never states that a day is free until that confirmation has come back.
The descriptions above are written so a visitor can choose without asking. When two still look equally suitable, the shorter path is to send one message naming both: the studio answers with the one that fits the recording, the number of players and how much is already finished. Access needs and equipment questions are answered the same way, in writing, well before the date.
Suitability depends on a customer's own needs, and the studio does not claim a service suits everyone. The questions page covers the eight asked most often.
Contact
The reply confirms the exact price for the scope described above. A message is an enquiry and does not hold a session.
It is published in the open, where anyone can copy it, so it is left short of its final polish and audit pass. The design chosen is fully audited and polished before it goes live.
