Recording a Demo

It’s difficult to get off your feet as a musician or band without having samples of your work. From booking shows to piquing interest for upcoming performances, a demo can display the talent of your music project.

The Boise Hive offers live, 16-track demo recording as well as attended mix sessions at a low hourly rate of $25/hr. Higher track counts are also available for bands wishing to overdub some or all of their instrumentation.

• Please note we only do live demo recordings
• Demo recordings must be booked a minimum of one week in advance and are subject to the availability of a volunteer recording engineer
• Recordings are charged at a rate of $25.00/per hour
• You will be responsible for payment of all reserved hours
• There is an additional 3% charge for credit card payment

All recording services are subject to the availability of volunteer staff. Booking enquiries and specific questions regarding the Hive’s recording equipment and capabilities can be directed to our recording volunteer staff at recording@boisehive.org.
