1. I am not familiar with UK currency values. How much do you charge in US dollars? TOP

2. How long does it typically take for a highly polished song? TOP

It usually takes up to 6 hours, however until I hear your song/idea it's hard to be specific. If it goes over you will pay the additional hourly rate, however, you set your budget and we won't go over that time.

3. I am not in the UK and can't come to your studio. What can I do? TOP

You will have to record your vocals in your country and mail them to me as a WAV via 'yousendit.com'. I can advice on what you should record and what to ask your engineer etc, and I can produce your backing first for you to sing along to.

Otherwise you can send me a rough vocal idea either by email or on CD and I will use that as a template to produce your song. I will then sent you the instrumental for you to record to.

Finally we have many professional singers if you would like us to take care of everything for you.

4. What kind of advice and contacts can I expect? TOP

We can show you the best places to find contacts and throw light on how the industry is actually working today so you can take advantage and not waist time posting hundreds of copys out!

5. Any other additional costs, at all? TOP

No additional cost apart from if you want more than 3 CD (£1 for each additional) and if you want a session singer (extra £60 approx.)

6.What is your refund policy?TOP

Refunds on deposits will be given in full if a booking is cancelled by a client prior to one week (7 days) of a session.

No other form of refund can be given by Apple Beam Studios due to the nature of recorded digital material and the ease of making duplicate copies.

If however we have been instructed to do work without the Client being present and the client is unhappy after first hearing of a recording, we agree to refund in full any money paid over and above the hours already spent recording
