Booking a studio in Lagos shouldn’t be confusing. Whether you’re cutting your first Afrobeats single or tracking a podcast, this guide shows you exactly how to book WobeStudios, what to expect in your first hour, and how to leave with files you can proudly release.
1) Pick Your Service (and Time)
Choose what you actually need:
- Recording (vocals/instruments) if you already have a beat or arrangement.
- Mixing & Mastering if recording is done and you want platform-ready loudness and polish.
- Beat Creation if you want an original instrumental tailored to your voice.
- Podcast Recording/Editing for clean talk shows and interview formats.
Pro tip: For first-timers, book 2–3 hours. It gives enough room for warm-ups, takes, and a rough mix.
2) Lock Your Date (Deposit Secures Your Slot)
Sessions in Lagos fill up fast—especially weekends. At WobeStudios, a 30% deposit secures your time, crew, and gear. You’ll get instant confirmation, calendar invites, and a prep checklist.
3) Prep Like a Pro (Before You Arrive)
Bring:
- Final lyrics, reference tracks, and your beat/stems (WAV preferred).
- Healthy voice: hydrate, avoid shouting/fried foods same day.
- For groups: agree on the song arrangement before the session.
- For podcasts: a simple rundown (intro, segments, outro) keeps you on time.
4) What Happens in Your First Hour
- Mic Check & Levels: We pick the mic chain for your voice and set comfortable headphone mixes.
- Test Takes: Quick passes to find groove, key, and energy.
- Comping Plan: Decide how we’ll capture verses, hooks, ad-libs for fast editing.
You’ll hear playback in the room so we can course-correct early.
5) Pricing, Packages & Saving Money
Typical Lagos ranges:
- Covers / Session Hour: budget per hour; save with off-peak slots (Mon–Thu daytimes).
- Mix & Master: fixed per song.
- Beat + Recording Bundles: best value if you need everything end-to-end.
Ask about membership credit packs for lower hourly rates if you plan multiple sessions.
6) Studio Etiquette (Lagos Edition)
- Arrive on time (traffic is real—plan buffer).
- Keep the room tidy; liquids stay off racks and consoles.
- Assign one decision-maker to avoid endless retakes.
- Respect the engineer’s safety calls (power, cables, stands, drone batteries, etc.).
7) Leaving With the Right Files
We’ll export:
- Rough mix for quick sharing
- Finals (after mixing/mastering): WAV + high-quality MP3
- Optional performance/instrumental versions for shows
- Stems on request (handy for future remixes)
8) After the Session
- Use our feedback form for notes; 1–2 revision rounds are included depending on package.
- Plan a simple content rollout: BTS clip, 10-sec hook, artwork reveal, release date.
