Please contact the studio directly if you have any questions or special requests. We appreciate that you have chosen Shine On Studio for your recording & audio production services. We will do everything within our ability to make your session as enjoyable as possible. Once your order is confirmed, you will receive an email from the studio.

Recording | Mixing | Mastering
Sessions are scheduled to start at the time you have specified when placing your order. If the studio has requested a change in the scheduled time, we will confirm via email for the new session start time/date. Recording sessions are allowed a 15 minute setup time prior to the session start time.

Hard Drive Backup
Recording sessions require backup. You're investing in the audio recording and post-production, so please take the time to invest in proper backup devices. We recommend that you bring 2 backup hard drives. We will transfer your recordings to the drives upon request. The studio may keep a copy of the sessions on our drives. The studio is not responsible for keeping any data at the studio.

Parking
When you arrive at the studio, please be mindful of where you park your vehicle. If there is space on the street next to the concrete wall, please park there first. If no street parking is available, you may park in the driveway. If you park in the driveway, please pull all the way forward and park to one side of the driveway. This will leave parking for others when they arrive at the studio. Please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle. Make sure your vehicle is locked and secured. Shine On Studio is not responsible for any damage or stolen items.

Food and Drinks
Clients are welcome to bring food and drinks. The studio fridge is small, but you are welcome to use what space is available. The fridge rule is if you didn't put it in the fridge, you may not take it out of the fridge. Food and drinks are not to be brought into the control room without permission. Please do not place food or drinks on top of any equipment.

Payment
All payments are due prior to load in and setup. If you have paid your balance in full through the studio website, then your session will start at the confirmed time. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your session start time to settle any remaining balance for the scheduled studio time.

Smoking
Shine On Studio is a non-smoking facility. This is to preserve the quality of the delicate audio equipment and to abide by California state laws. Clients may smoke outside of the studio provided they do not disturb any neighbors and dispose of cigarette waste properly.

Garbage
Clients are responsible for the removal of their own garbage. There will be a fee of $100 for any clean up of client garbage & refuse. This includes cigarette butts outside of the studio. Clients are asked to take their garbage with them if it is in excess. Recycling may be left at the studio if permitted by a studio staff member.

Studio Instruments and Equipment
The studio has instruments and equipment available for clients to use during sessions. If you are planning to use studio instruments, please contact the studio at least 48 hours prior to your session start time. This will allow the session engineer to prep the studio for your arrival. Please always be prepared to bring your own instruments and equipment. The studio cannot guarantee that instruments or equipment will be available for use. It is the responsibility of the client to bring all necessary instruments and equipment to their scheduled session. Any damage to studio equipment by clients or their guests must be reimbursed immediately.
