CRM for recording studios

A CRM built for recording studios

Sessions, artists, room bookings and mix deliverables in one place — bookings confirm themselves, revisions never get lost, and the studio stops running on a whiteboard and a group chat.

Off-the-shelf CRMs were built for a sales team. Not for recording studios.

The room diary lives on a whiteboard and in the engineer’s phone — double-book the Live Room once and you’re refunding a day rate and losing the band for good.

Mix revisions arrive as scattered emails and WhatsApp voice notes. The wrong version ships, the artist is furious, and you re-cut a master for free.

Deposits get taken “when we get round to it”, so sessions start unpaid — and a no-show costs you a full day of idle studio time you’ll never bill.

Studio hours quietly overrun and never make it onto the invoice. A few unbilled hours a week is thousands of euros walking out the door by year end.

See it from the inside

What your CRM would look like — screen by screen.

Not stock screenshots — this is the shape of the system we’d build for recording studios: your records, your stages, your words. Click through the screens.

The owner’s morning screen — today’s sessions, mixes in revision, studio revenue — and what the automations already handled before nine.

A real starting point

Here’s the analysis we’d start from — for recording studios.

Not a template. This is the data model, pipeline and automations a business like yours actually runs on — mapped in your words. Your free analysis produces exactly this, shaped to you.

Your system, mapped

Your pipeline, exactly as your CRM would show it — your stages, your words. This is what we build from.

Busywork the system takes over

  • Session reminderstexts the artist and manager the evening before, with one-tap confirm or rebook
  • Deposit collectionraises the deposit invoice the moment a session is booked, and chases until it clears
  • Mix revision trackerlogs every artist note against the right take and version, so the correct file always ships
  • Delivery on sign-offsends the approved master, stems and streaming files automatically once a mix is signed off

What this replaces — where it hurts today

  • Room diary on a whiteboard
  • Mix revisions lost in email
  • Studio hours going unbilled

Questions recording studios ask us

Can it take deposits and bill studio time through our card processor?
Yes. The moment a session is booked the deposit invoice goes out through Stripe, the balance is raised when the project delivers, and any overrun hours land on the invoice automatically — so the day’s takings reconcile themselves instead of being chased later.
We live and die by mix revisions — can it stop the wrong version going out?
Yes. Every note is logged against the exact take and version, revisions are numbered, and only the approved master, stems and streaming files are released on sign-off. No more re-cutting a master because someone shipped v3 instead of v5.
How long until we’re live?
A working prototype in about a week for €500. The full build usually lands in three to six weeks, depending on how many rooms, engineers and integrations are in scope.
Who owns the system and the data?
You do — entirely. It’s your system, hosted for you, and you can export everything at any time. No per-seat lock-in.
