We ask for a £50 deposit on each booking to limit cancellations. You will get the deposit back on the day of the recording. Please note that this deposit can not be refunded if you cancel your booking within seven days of your recording date. To make a booking go to our Make Booking page.

How long does it typically take for a highly polished song?
It usually takes between 5-8 hours to complete a song from start to finish. However until we hear your song/idea it's hard to be specific.

What is your refund policy?
Refunds on deposits will be given in full if a booking is cancelled by a client prior to 7 days of the session.
No other form of refund can be given by Apple Beam Studios due to the nature of recorded digital material and the ease of making duplicate copies.
If however we have been instructed to do work without the client being present and the client is unhappy after first hearing of a recording, we agree to refund in full any money paid over and above the hours already spent recording.
