Info: Pay-Per-Track

Because Rockhopper is organised in such an efficient way, we're able to generate great results in a much shorter time than usual.

Which means you get more for your money.

So, rather than just book by the hour, it may be better for you to tell us what you want to do and we can then give you a quote.

Call or email for more information. Or use the contact form on the left of the page.

PAY-PER-TRACK

*Examples. See text for more details

You may want to consider our "Pay-per-Track" System. This is available to unsigned artists and enthusiasts. There are a few rules (see "Pay-per-track Rules" but it may be just what you need!

This is how it works.

First, decide the number of songs you want to record. (For longer songs, over 6 minutes, count these as two separate songs.)
Count the number of "tracks" you want to lay down. A "track" is an instrument (including voice). So, for example, drums, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and vocal is 5 tracks. Or - electric piano, vocal and harmony vocal is 3 tracks. If your songs have differing numbers of tracks, use the song with the largest number.
Decide whether you want to record during a weekday or evenings/weekends and choose the appropriate table.
Use the table to work out your quote. The number of songs is on the left and the number of tracks is on the top. For example, for recording 3 songs of 5 tracks during a weekday, the quote will be £147, whereas 5 songs of 2 tracks each at a weekend will be £185.
