One of my old band mates is in the US on holidays... He will be in NYC from 22 - 22 August.
He would love an hour or two to record whilst there. He has a budget of $200 USD. He would love electric lady land or somewhere as noteworthy and I am guessing time of day would be really open, if they do late/cheap rates....
anyone know anyone...or can suggest
cheers

man, all of those big studios are 600-1000/day. usually in the land of 75 to 150/hour actually. What kinda stuff is he recording? my studio definitely ain't a pro facility, but i do have neve's and Capi's, Apogee Symphony i/o and a MicRehab CV4 among other mics. I'm in an apartment building, and the studio is in my living room, but he's more than welcome to come thru. $200 would get him 6-7 hours here :-) http://instagr.am/p/26eOlzwUah |

Yikes! Talk about a race to the bottom!
I'm surprised anyone can stay in business at $600 a day for a "big studio"... Especially with NY real estate prices.
To be frank I wouldn't even turn the lights on for $200!

Thanks everyone for the comments so far.
It's more of a tourist thing.
An experience.... I told him I would ask....thought there might be a chance to get him in somewhere. Home studios, aren't what the experience would be about,he has his own home studio her in Oz...thanks for the offer though
I have written to electric lady land for him and will see what comes up
I thought there might be a chance to get in, with an assistant engineer late at night for an hour or two for the 200
Cheers

From experience the bigger the studio the more they charge the later it gets. Certain studios will give you block time during the day, but at premium hrs "6pm past" the hourly is about 1/2-1/3 cost of the block time. This is in Atlanta, not NYC, however If he gets to the studio at 9am and wraps at 11am he may find himself within his budget, If lucky it may even be in the A room! I could be wrong  |

There's a few studios in NY including where i interned and later worked that would probably take the $200. Nowhere super famous but famous people have recorded there. I was the overnight asst engineer so often worked the cheaper rate sessions. They're usually booked though.

Try contacting Fab Dupont at Flux Studios. He's cool, The Rolling Stones have recorded there, and he's got some lovely gear. I'd almost bet he'll accommodate your friend. Ask about an early appointment, like 12 noon, 1:00 PM..

Fab was a good idea. Also Dap in bkln is pretty awesome and have recorded with their minimalist approach some great albums.

The best bet is to just call a bunch of places and see you never know what you may be able to get at the last min. !
