E ~ Single
For recording and mixing of a single ~ Please get in touch for a personalised quote. We are more then happy to stick to a budget that suits you :)
* FYI we usually recommend a 7hr day session to lay down 1 song. Then depending on budget, we usually recommend 2 to 10 hours of post production. It really depends on the type of sound you are after, so references and demos would help us to give you an honest idea on cost. A single could also mean 2 to 3 songs, as that is pretty typical when distributing on platforms like Spotify
We can Master in-house or give you the pre-Master files to take to another mastering engineer 💾

EXTRAS ~ Studio Musicians
Our musician list (those talented folk we choose to work with) changes often. So if you feel you may require some of that talent for your project, be sure to let us know when making your inquiry and we'll do our best to match you up with the right person 💃
Piano Use
Alchemix currently has a Steinway and Sons Model D Grand Piano, which can be used during your recording session. Cost to use the piano is free. If you want to make sure it is in perfect tune, we can get a professional, AJ Hall, to tune it for $242, but the Piano is usually pretty in tune to begin with. We also have a beautiful old upright piano, which is in tune, but down 1 tone. It's really quite special. You can hear it being played on the end of Wagon Ride, from the first Bluey Album.

We do however have a large portion of projects from the past 15 years, at arms length.🎄
Ask us if you would like to request a backup hard drive to be added to your project quote.
