Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Where is the studio located?

A. The studio is located on the fifth floor of Lerner Hall, Room 511.

Q. How can I stay in touch?

A. Discord is the best way to interact with the community. Instagram will mainly show off what we’re up to and provide announcements. Our mailing list is the primary form of receiving announcements.

Q. How can I get my stuff recorded?

A. Send a message in the #recording-requests channel of our Discord server with the following information:

  • A brief “subject line” description of your project

  • Your musical/compositional/technical experience (Do you intend to play on the track? Sing? Mix between sessions? Dictate parts?)

  • The project scope, in terms of instrumentation, complexity, and song duration

  • Your own estimate of the studio time required

Guest sessions must be engineered by CU Records club members. A CU Records audio engineer will reach out to you directly to schedule your session(s).

Q. Do you provide mixing and mastering services?

A. CU Records only provides the equipment, personnel, and space necessary for recording audio. We do not provide help with editing the audio afterwards. However, if you are looking for help with audio engineering, ask around and you might find someone willing to help

Q. Can I use the studio to record myself independently?

A. Yes, as soon as you have completed a training session with our leadership and spoken to the club’s advisor. At that point you will have swipe access and can book slots when the studio is available.

Q. Can I borrow equipment from CU Records?

A. None of CU Records’ equipment may be removed from the studio. IMATS and WBAR provide equipment loaning, so contact them if there is certain equipment you’re after.

Q. Can I leave my equipment in CU Records?

A. Yes, you can keep your equipment in CU Records if it doesn’t take up too much space. However, you must be okay with other members of the CU Records community using it if they so desire. Storing locked gear in the studio may cause you to lose Brownie points.

Q. Can you advertise my music/event/program?

A. Submit to our blog!

Q. Can I donate to CU Records?

A. Of course! CU Records is completely student-run, so any and all donations can be extremely helpful to our goals. If you’re interested in this, please get in touch!
