What it costs to rent a studio in DFW, and what is included
Straight pricing for our podcast rooms and production studio, plus exactly what comes with the hour so there are no surprises.
What an hour actually costs
Our podcast rooms are $100 an hour. The production studio with the cyc wall is $150 an hour. Those are the same numbers whether you book one hour or call us first. There is no setup fee bolted on at the end and no separate charge to turn the lights on.
We price by room because the rooms are different. A podcast room is built for clean conversation audio and a tight two or three camera setup. The production studio is a bigger space with a full cyc wall for product, brand, and anything that needs room to move. You pay for the space that fits the work, not a blended rate that overcharges the simple jobs.
What comes with the hour
The hour includes the gear that makes the room work: broadcast microphones, cameras, lighting that is already set, and a person on site who knows the space. You are not renting an empty room and figuring out the cables yourself. You walk in, sit down, and record.
What is not included is the extra stuff you may or may not need, like mobile production at your location or specialized gear rental. We keep those separate so a straightforward podcast booking stays cheap and only the jobs that need more pay for more.
When a plan beats paying by the hour
If you record once, pay the hourly rate and you are done. If you record every week, a plan is cheaper per hour than walking in, which is the whole point. A plan should reward the commitment, so our packs and membership all land below the hundred dollar walk-in rate.
The honest test is your calendar. Two or three sessions a month and the math already favors a plan. Anything less and hourly is the right call. We would rather tell you that than sell you hours you will not use.
The price on the page should be the price you pay. If an hour needs an asterisk, it is not really an hour.
