Understanding Studio Recording Rental Fees & Features

Inclusions depend on the package. A room-only rental includes a sound-treated studio space, lighting, set and prop options, but no recording equipment. Full-service packages add three 4K cameras, professional microphones, custom lighting, and an on-site engineer. Editing packages also include a synchronized multi-camera edit, color balancing, audio cleanup, and a finished composite video file.

SLAP Studios LA lists room-only rental at $89 per hour, full-service recording with raw files at $139 per hour, and full-service recording with a Level 1 post-cut edit at $179 per hour. Custom Platinum packages are quoted based on the needed production, editing, publishing, strategy, and monetization support. Hourly, half-day, full-day, and longer booking options are available.

Room-only rental is designed for creators who bring their own cameras, microphones, and crew but want a polished, sound-treated environment. Full-service recording supplies the core production setup: three cinema 4K cameras, professional microphones, Aputure lighting, and an on-site engineer. It also includes delivery of raw audio and separate camera-angle files within 48 hours.

An on-site engineer is included with SLAP Studios LA’s Silver full-service and Gold editing packages. The engineer supports the professional camera, microphone, and lighting setup during the session. Bronze room-only rental does not include equipment or an engineer, making it a practical option for experienced creators who arrive with their own production resources.

For full-service recording sessions, raw audio and separate camera-angle footage are uploaded by email within 48 hours. Gold package clients receive a composite, multi-camera edited file within 72 hours after the session ends, excluding Sundays. More detailed Level 2 editing, graphics, B-roll, social clips, and publishing support can be scoped through a custom Platinum package.

Yes. Remote Guest / Cloud Recording Service can be added to an existing studio package, allowing remote participants to join through HD cloud recording. The service captures high-quality remote audio and video that can be incorporated into a multi-camera edit and post-production workflow. It is useful for interviews, distributed teams, and guests who cannot attend the studio session in person.

Yes. SLAP Studios LA offers livestream support for live broadcasts, small events, panel discussions, and video content. Support can include multi-camera angle management, live switching, and streaming technical assistance for broadcasting across multiple platforms. Discuss the event format, intended platforms, audience needs, and any required run-of-show details before booking so the appropriate setup can be planned.

Book editing when you need a ready-to-publish video rather than raw footage. The Gold package includes multi-camera synchronization, color balance, audio cleanup, leveling, and one composite file. If you need B-roll, graphics, short-form clips, platform publishing, or a broader content strategy, a custom Platinum package provides a more complete post-production and growth workflow.

SLAP Studios LA offers four levels. Bronze is a room-only rental of the sound-treated studio with lighting, sets, and props at $89 per hour. Silver adds three 4K cameras, professional microphones, Aputure lighting, and an on-site engineer at $139 per hour. Gold is $179 per hour and includes a Level 1 multi-camera post-cut edit. Platinum is a custom content-engine package scoped through a consultation.

Gold is a fixed hourly package at $179 that includes full-service recording plus a Level 1 multi-camera edit with synced angles, color balancing, audio cleanup, and one composite file delivered within 72 hours, excluding Sundays. Platinum is not a fixed hourly rate. It is a custom-scoped content engine that can add Level 2 editing, B-roll, graphics, short-form clips, publishing support, growth consulting, and brand-deal opportunities, quoted after a consultation.

Creators who want a finished, ready-to-publish episode most often choose Gold, because recording and the multi-camera edit are handled in one booking. Silver suits teams that want the full camera, microphone, lighting, and engineer setup but prefer to edit in-house. Bronze works for experienced creators arriving with their own crew and equipment.

Start with what you want to walk away with. If you need only a professional space and bring your own gear, Bronze covers it. If you want cameras, microphones, lighting, and an engineer with raw files delivered, Silver is the fit. If you want an edited episode ready to publish, choose Gold. If you need clips, graphics, publishing, or growth and monetization support, a custom Platinum package is scoped for you.
