Photo and video shoots in the studio interior: rate depends on crew, gear and hours. Let’s discuss.

Discuss a shoot

SIGNAL CHAIN

Microphones: Shure SM7B, SM58 and SM57 for vocals, cabinets and snare, AKG D112 for the kick and the bass cabinet, and a stereo pair of condenser overheads. Interface: USB 4×4, four analog inputs and four independent recording channels.

Reamping: finished DI tracks of guitars and bass from your DAW are routed through the studio tube amps and recorded back with real tube tone.

The microphone set is available for recording sessions only and is not provided for rehearsals.

For larger sessions, when every tom and the room need separate miking, we add multichannel interfaces of 8 to 16 channels and an extended microphone set chosen for the project. This is arranged separately.

Backline rental from ₾90 / day  ·  Multichannel setup for larger sessions, by arrangement  ·  Commercial shoots discussed separately

100% prepayment. Cancel free until 23:00 the day before; same-day cancellation costs 50%.

03 — Vintage Live Sessions

Live session recording

We record a live set of 30 to 40 minutes and film it on several cameras. The result works for promo, YouTube or a release.

ON REQUEST

How a session goes

  1. In the first hour we set up the gear, dial in the sound and place the cameras.
  2. Then the band plays the set live while we record the audio and film the performance.
  3. If time allows, we record safety takes and shoot additional close-ups.
  4. After the session we mix the audio and edit the video.

You receive the mixed audio and the edited video. The number of cameras, the length of the set and the deadlines are agreed in advance, so the price depends on the scope of work.

₾850 per session

04 — Weekends & learning

Jams and workshops

On weekends we run open jams and educational meetups, so the studio also works as a place where musicians meet each other.

Open jam

We host an open jam every weekend. You can come on your own or with your band and play on our gear.

Community

We care about connection and about growing the local scene, so informal gatherings after a jam are welcome here.

Masterclasses & workshops

We hold classes on recording, drums, guitar tone and home production. Groups are small, and all practice happens on professional gear.

05 — Rules

Studio rules

Tube gear needs careful handling, so we ask everyone to follow a few simple rules.

Hours & booking10:00–23:00 daily

  • Daily 10:00–23:00, no days off. At 23:00 the studio closes for everyone, no exceptions.
  • Book in the calendar via the link on the site; confirmed by the admin (+995 591 066 530, Anton).
  • The slot counts as booked only after a text confirmation from the admin in WhatsApp / Telegram.
  • 100% prepayment. Hourly rate only (no half-hours), minimum booking 1 hour.
  • More than 5 people in the room by prior arrangement.

Your booked timeStart, overtime, handover

  • The rental starts at the booked time, not at the moment of arrival.
  • Being late doesn't extend the slot without prior agreement.
  • Booked hours are paid in full regardless of when the work ends. Setting up the gear and transferring the final files are part of the rental time.
  • You may stay up to 15 min over (by agreement); beyond that you pay the next hour.
  • At the end the technician inspects and accepts the room.

Cancellation & staffRefunds, technician, admin

  • Cancel free until 23:00 the day before.
  • Same-day cancellation (after 23:00) costs 50% of the booked total.
  • A technician's help is included, but a technician is not a sound engineer.
  • A sound engineer is paid separately and arranged in advance.
  • Admin answers questions 10:00–23:00. 24/7 video surveillance. Free parking nearby when free.

In the studioComfort & respect

  • Food and drinks are not allowed next to the instruments. For that there is the entrance area and the street.
  • No smoking or vaping inside (cigarettes, e-cigs, IQOS). Outside only.
  • Shooting means using any photo or video equipment except a phone. Its setup, teardown, lighting and decor are part of the booked time.
  • We ask guests to be friendly to each other and to the staff. In case of conflicts we may refuse further visits.
  • Please leave the room the way you would like to find it.

Vintage gear careTube etiquette

  • Before any patching the master volume should be set to zero.
  • Tube amps are switched on in this order: power, then standby for one or two minutes, then playing. Switching off goes in reverse. Skipping the standby stage is strictly not allowed.
  • Play as loud as you need, but treat the gear with respect: no abuse, no slamming the amps.
  • You are welcome to bring your own pedals. Bringing your own amp heads is possible by prior arrangement.
  • If something sounds wrong, stop and call the staff. Connecting heads to cabinets yourself, biasing and any repairs are strictly prohibited. Any parts you find should be handed to us.
  • Normal wear is expected and we treat it calmly. Damage caused by breaking the rules is compensated by the guest.
