If you need to cancel an appointment, please give 24 hours notice. If you will be late, let us know as early as possible. Please note that your session starts at the time it is scheduled, not when you arrive.
If you do not show up for your appointment, or do not give proper notice, your deposit will be forfeited.


Of course. You will receive a receipt for paid invoices by email.

Our address is 1201 Mazant Street, New Orleans, LA 70117. On the corner of Mazant & Marias.


Certainly. You can schedule a tour online or contact us to schedule a studio tour. We ask that you are serious about recording here if scheduling a tour. Please do not just stop by the studio without an appointment; a session could be in progress or the studio may be closed. We respect the privacy and creative flow of our clients and do not like to interrupt sessions in progress.


We are open daily. All sessions and tours are by appointment only. Appointments can be made online here.


There is free street parking on Mazant Street and on Marais Street. There are usually spots available.


Yes, we can provide you with a CD. Additional CDs are $1 each. We normally deliver your songs and files via Dropbox or email.


Contact us for a mic and equipment list. If there is a specific piece of gear or microphone you would like to use that don’t have on hand, we can provide a rental service for you. Hit us up for more information on this.


We are equipped to record many genres and types of music; bands, vocalists etc. If you’d like to speak specifically about your style, give us a shout.


If you have instrumental music you would like to record to, please bring it with you on a CD, flash drive or email it to innerrecess@gmail.com. The easiest way is to join a shared Dropbox folder. You can place your instrumentals in the folder, and we will have it ready for your session. Contact us to set up the shared Dropbox folder.

We also have instrumentals for sale or lease. Contact us to gain access to our available instrumentals.


Your instrumental can be any file format, but Wav or Aiff files will be the highest quality and what we prefer. You can also provide multi-track stems in Wav or Aiff. We can work with mp3s as well, but we encourage you to supply a higher quality format. Your final product will sound better, and you will be happier.


We encourage you to schedule a separate session devoted to mixing. That way you can listen to it and make notes about how you want it to sound. We can mix your music the same day, but it’s good practice to have an engineer approach your music with fresh ears.


If you are a competent engineer or producer and would like to join the Inner Recess team, please send a resume and any relevant materials to record@innerrecess.com.


No. We will make you sound good, but securing a deal, radio placement or distribution is on you.
