Studio Rates Are Rising AND Falling – Here’s What You Need to Know
Mix Artist Studio Newsletter May 2025
Dear Artists and Music Creators,
🎯 From July 1st, our day rate for studio time will increase in line with national inflation. But this isn’t just a price rise – it reflects the significant upgrades we’ve made since our last adjustment.
We’ve invested heavily in premium microphones, boutique outboard gear, the best headphone system on the East Coast, plus video cameras and lighting for documenting sessions or creating content.
In short: you now get a lot more for just a little more.
If you’ve been planning to book some studio days, now’s the perfect time to lock in your sessions at the current rate before the increase kicks in on July 1st.
💡 And here’s the good news…
Studio Rates Have Fallen
We’ve already reduced the prices of our Complete Production Packages – so if you’re working on a single, EP, or full album, these all-inclusive options now offer even more value for money than ever before.
Let's talk about your next project!
