Yes, absolutely. We understand that some clients can only attend sessions in the evening and our team is happy to accommodate.
Ideally 2-3 weeks in advance, however dependent on the urgency of the deadline we can move things around to accommodate deadlines.
You can make a payment with cash, cheque, bank transfer or PayPal (however there is a 5% charge when paying through PayPal). We do ask for a 50% upfront payment to secure a session slot, as this is locked just for you so no other client can use it.
You can bring anything you like. Depending on what you plan to record, you can bring your own instruments and equipment. However, our studio / live room is equipped with a drum kit, guitars (acoustic, classical, electric, bass) and amplifiers, as well as a wide range of microphones and recording equipment.
At Black & Gold Audio, we don’t like to put a price on what we produce without having a talk with you about your project and ideally listening and viewing any material you have beforehand. Consultation is important and a quote can be established from this, prior to making any studio bookings. To do this, contact us on our telephone number/email address.
We strive to work with and help you and so on these occasions, we are keen to invite you for a discussion about your work, have a listen to the material you have & possibly help you out with a discount. It really depends on what you intend us to produce.
Yes, we do! We offer several good value gift packages – for more information on what we have to offer please drop us a message.
If you need to reschedule or postpone your session, we can change this for you without any extra costs. However, if you need to cancel your session, unfortunately, your 50% deposit will be non-refundable.
Every step of the session is with one of our engineers/producers to help you through every step of the process.

Sound design is the creation of the soundscape of your project. It includes atmospheres, sound effects, and ambiances that form the sonic backdrop of your visual narrative.
After the production is wrapped, the final step is post-production. In audio post-production, we add all the audio components that complete your project. This could include voice-over, ADR, additional dialog, music, foley, and sound design.
We only use high-end hardware and software that are renowned in the industry for producing broadcast-quality work. If you would like to know which equipment we use for a specific area of audio post please get in touch and we'll send you the relevant spec sheet.

It is the clients' responsibility to save copies of the session files after completion and delivery.
