Looking for something truly special for the musically inclined in your life this Holiday season? This year, Compact Audio is offering a special holiday recording package! From experienced vocalist, to shy shower singer, we can work with anyone to record and mix a song that they’ll be proud to share. Package includes a 1.5 hour recording session, as well as pre-consultation about song choice, how to prepare, etc. and a full mix and master ready for Spotify/iTunes or just sharing with your friends and family privately. Our goal is always to make singers feel 100% comfortable in order to capture their best performance, without any anxiety! All ages welcome!

Package starts at $99+HST (or an additional $80 per extra song)

We can also offer discounts on our other recording services such as professional vocal/instrument recording, full band recording/rehearsals, mixing, mastering, and more; and present it to you as a voucher redeemable anytime! Message for details and questions regarding specific vouchers.

No expiry!

While we understand many are hesitant to commit to anything during these unprecedented times, we are being very careful to create a safe welcoming environment via social distancing, masks, sanitizing and other recommended steps by the NS Gov. Our recording booth is in a separate room and our large control room makes it easy to stay 2 metres apart. Additionally, since our vouchers do not expire they are more than welcome to wait until a time when they feel comfortable again, and/or Gov. regulations relax, to redeem them :)

We have been monitoring the guidelines put in place by the NS gov closely these past few months, and luckily with the success of the Atlantic bubble we have been able to finish up many projects that were put on hiatus during the initial wave, as well as implement new services such as our re-imagined rehearsal space which has been a huge hit.

Following recent case numbers and restrictions we are again being very careful to create a safe welcoming environment via social distancing, masks, sanitizing and other recommended steps by the gov. We remain open for rehearsals (up to 4 people), recording, mixing, and all other services. Contact us with any and all questions you may have.

General Rates:

Recording: $40/hour
Mixing/Mastering: $35/hour
Audio Editing: $40/Hour
