What's in a standard session: One 4-hour session breaks down as 3 hours 20 minutes of recording time plus 40 minutes of scheduled breaks. On average, a 4-hour session is sufficient to record 15–20 minutes of finished music.

Up to 2.5 sessions per day can be booked to cover larger projects. Custom lineups and choir additions are available — contact us for a tailored quote.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about booking, preparation, and what to expect from a custom session.

When booking a custom session you can chose the orchestra line-up and pick the recording dates. One standard 4-hour recording session includes 3 hours and 20 minutes of actual recording and 40 minutes of breaks. You can book a maximum of 2.5 standard sessions per day.

Please fill in the form or write us at hello@orchestrascoring.com to book a custom recording session. Please include the following information:

  • Description of your project;
  • Date(s) on which you would like to book the session(s);
  • Required line-up of the orchestra;
  • And, if possible, how many recording sessions you will need (a standard 4-hour session = 3 hours 20 minutes of recording and 40 minutes of breaks)

After you’ve made the booking we will contact you to discuss your project in greater detail. When everything is sorted out we will send you the invoice. A 100% advance payment is necessary to confirm the booking. Payment can be made by card or bank transfer.

See our Terms of Service to learn more about booking and payment.

On average, recording 15 to 20 minutes of music will take one 4-hour session. Of course, every project is different and how much time you will actually need depends on the complexity of the music, the quality of the score, and the instructions you might give during recording. If you are not sure how much time to book email us at hello@orchestrascoring.com. Please attach the score if it’s ready, and we will help you decide.

We suggest making the booking at least 30 days before the planned session. This is necessary to check the score and sort everything out. You can also book a session less than 30 days before the planned date. In any case we will contact you, discuss the specifics, and possibly suggest a more suitable date for recording.

All the recording sessions are held from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Moscow time (GMT+3). For a custom session the time will be agreed when you make the booking.

You will receive a download link to the multitrack files. Usually, the multitrack includes Decca Tree mics, several ambient mics and several spot mics.

We keep files for 30 days after the recording date.

It is possible to cancel the session at least 21 calendar days before the scheduled date. No refund if you cancel less than 21 calendar days before the scheduled date.
