Frequently Asked Questions

Haven't found what you're looking for? We're here to help.

What equipment is included?

Accordion open / close icon

Studio 2 comes fully set up and ready to record. It includes three cameras, up to four microphones, professional lighting and everything needed to capture your podcast. Just walk in, press record and focus on the conversation.

How does recording work?

Accordion open / close icon

Studio 2 is designed for simple self-service recording. At the start of your session, press one button to begin recording across the full system. When you've finished, we'll transfer the recordings to your SSD, or you can choose our cloud transfer option and receive them afterwards.

Do I need to bring anything?

Accordion open / close icon

If you'd like to take your recordings away on the day, bring an SSD with a minimum read and write speed of 1,000 MB/s. If you don't have a suitable drive, you can add our cloud transfer option instead.

How many people can use Studio 2?

Accordion open / close icon

Up to four people can record comfortably at the same time. There's also seating at the back for guests or your team, giving Studio 2 a maximum working capacity of six people.

Can you support my production?

Accordion open / close icon

Absolutely. Studio 2 is designed for self-service use, but you can add a Studio Operator to monitor the recording throughout your session. We also offer editing and additional production support if you'd like us to take care of the episode after recording.

How are my recordings delivered?

Accordion open / close icon

If you've brought a suitable SSD, we'll transfer your recordings at the end of the session. Transfer time depends on how much you've recorded, so allow roughly 30 minutes before leaving, although longer sessions may take more time.

Alternatively, choose our cloud transfer option and we'll usually send a WeTransfer link within 48 hours. The link will remain available for 90 days.

Can I record multiple episodes?

Accordion open / close icon

Absolutely. You can start and stop recording as often as you like during your booking, making it easy to batch several episodes in one session.

Is Studio 2 only for podcasts?

Accordion open / close icon

No. While it's purpose-built for podcasts, it also works well for interviews, vodcasts, broadcast webinars, online courses and other seated multi-camera productions.
