    Frequently asked questions

    Typically £40 to £150 an hour depending on the city and the spec. Audio-only rooms sit at the lower end. Multi-camera video studios with an engineer included sit at the top, and London prices run higher across the board.

    Acoustic treatment, camera capability if you want video, whether an engineer is included, minimum booking lengths, and what you actually walk away with. Raw files and edited episodes are very different things.

    If you are making content for business, almost certainly. Video podcasts feed YouTube, LinkedIn clips and audio feeds from one session. Booking an audio-only room usually means paying twice later.

    Yes, in Bristol, and it is where much of our client work is produced. For client shoots elsewhere we bring production to a studio near you, or set up on location.

    If you have a producer, an editor and a distribution plan, hire a studio. If you have none of those, a room alone will not get a show launched. That is what a full service production partner is for.
