Vocals & voice-over

Who uses the booth

Solo artists, rappers, songwriters building demos, bands adding lead or backing vocals after a band session, and speakers recording short narration, podcast intros or small sync jobs book Vocals & voice-over. Loud brass or full drum kits belong in the live room, not the booth.

Participants must be at least 16. Younger artists only with written guardian consent and an adult present. We stay factual: strong takes come from preparation and calm, not pressure in the booth.

Microphones and signal path

There is no single best mic — only one that fits your voice and the song. We usually compare two setups at the start: often a large-diaphragm condenser for detail, sometimes a dynamic for loud rap or very close singing. You choose which path to keep.

Distance, pop-filter angle and headphone level shape sibilance and low end more than later processing. We note settings in the session so later mixing here or elsewhere stays consistent. Levels stay moderate to leave headroom for comping and the mix.

Headphone mix and comfort

Your mix can change anytime: more voice, less bass, a touch of reverb in the cans only. Many singers drop one ear to hear themselves in the room — tell us and we adjust bleed into the mic.

Water, a music stand and dimmable light are in the booth. You decide breaks; tired voices rarely deliver usable takes. Sessions are by appointment: Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00, Saturday 10:00–16:00, closed Sunday. Sessions by appointment only. Getting here: U3 Volkstheater or Neubaugasse, then about 5 minutes on foot along Lerchenfelder Straße. Tram lines 5 and 49 stop nearby..

Typical session flow

After setup we often capture structural parts first — verses and chorus — before doubles and ad-libs. For a typical pop song with chorus layers, many clients plan two to four hours; the half-day rate covers four hours and often fits one single.

Backing vocals are recorded separately, named by role (e.g. chorus double, upper harmony). The engineer can comment on pitch, timing and articulation if you want — or stay hands-off if you prefer to lead.

Formats, comping and archive

Default delivery is 24-bit WAV, aligned to song start. On request we deliver a consolidated lead after comping marked takes — same day if booked time allows. Pitch correction or heavy tuning is not automatic; discuss before the session.

We keep raw material 12 months, then delete. Back up your files locally. Cancellation, deposit and rescheduling are in our terms; illness follows the stated windows (free cancel more than 7 days ahead).

Rates and booking

All amounts include 20% VAT for consumers in Austria. Business clients can receive invoices with net lines; B2B payment term when agreed: 14 days.

We ask 30% deposit to hold dates; balance after the session or per invoice. General questions: FAQ, +43 1 526 48 92 or [email protected].

What to bring

• Instrumental as WAV or stems without guide vocal if possible
• Lyrics with marked entries and breath spots
• Tempo and key if known
• One or two reference tracks as tone direction, not a copy target
• Your own in-ears if you rely on them

Physical prep: prepare your voice. Finished balance is mixing; mastering comes after that.

Not included

Not covered: heavy editing of external sessions, full production from scratch, hired session players, lyric translation, travel. Extended Melodyne or auto-tune beyond basic comping is quoted separately.
