Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the CU Records Studio located?

How can I get my music recorded?

If you are a Columbia or Barnard student, you can complete the studio training program to record on your own. You can also inquire for help via our Slack — please make sure to describe your project scope and any specific instruments or recording abilities you require.

If you are a non-Columbia or Barnard student, please email us at curecords17@gmail.com with your inquiry.

Do you provide mixing and mastering services?

CU Records only provides the equipment and space necessary for recording audio. We do not provide post-production services. However, if you are looking for help with audio engineering, you may find someone willing to help by inquiring in our Slack.

Why is the booking website not working for me?

Only trained members have access to the booking website. Please consult the “Membership” page on how to register for a training session and earn studio booking and swipe access.

I’ve already completed the studio training session — where is my booking and swipe access?

If it has been over 2 weeks since completing the studio training, please email our club advisor at pm2811@columbia.edu. Please note that while CU Records facilitates the training process, it is up to Public Safety to ultimately grant swipe access.

Can I borrow equipment from CU Records?

Under no circumstances may any of the CU Records equipment may be removed from the studio. Please consider contacting IMATS and WBAR regarding any equipment loaning inquiries.

Can I leave my equipment in CU Records?
