Session Requests
Studio Sessions
Our studio operates on a limited-session basis to ensure every project receives the preparation, technical oversight, and focused attention it deserves.
How to Book
Artists may request a session by contacting info@lathecutvinylrecords.com . Please include basic project details such as scope, timeline, and any intended release format.
Availability
Session availability, production timelines, and studio rates are provided after project review. Because we prioritize active production work, recording sessions are scheduled selectively.
Early contact is recommended if you are working toward a release date.
Direct-to-Disc
Direct-To-Disc Recording
Direct-to-disc is a performance-based recording format in which audio is captured live and cut directly to vinyl in real time. With no opportunity for editing or post-production correction, the process preserves the immediacy, discipline, and energy of a true performance.
Session Approach
Sessions are intentionally structured around focused arrangements and minimal microphone configurations rather than complex live mixing. The emphasis remains where it belongs — on musicianship, preparation, and execution.
Performance Takes
Sessions are typically organized around three performance takes, giving artists multiple opportunities to capture a definitive version while maintaining the integrity of the format. Additional takes may be scheduled as availability permits.
Is Direct-To-Disc Right For Every Artist?
Direct-to-disc recording rewards preparation and is best suited for artists ready to deliver a complete, performance-level take.
Because the recording and cutting occur simultaneously, session readiness is essential.
Session Preparation
Session Preparation
Successful recording sessions begin long before the artist enters the studio. Clients are encouraged to arrive with material fully rehearsed, arrangements finalized, and creative direction clearly defined.
Preparation keeps sessions focused, efficient, and creatively productive — allowing studio time to be spent capturing performances rather than building them from scratch.
Artists who approach recording with intention consistently achieve the strongest results.
Studio time is most effective when momentum already exists before the session begins.
Studio Access
Studio Access
The studio operates within a private production facility and may present accessibility limitations for some guests.
