Do I need to bring any equipment?
No. Microphones, headphones, cameras, lighting and an ATEM switcher are set up for you. You're welcome to bring your own gear too.
When do I get my files?
Raw audio and video files are delivered the same day by download link. Edited episodes and social clips are available as add-ons.
Can you stream my show live?
Yes. We stream to YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn, X, Facebook and other platforms at the same time, over a 10-gigabit internet connection, and can bring remote guests and callers into the show.
What is the virtual engineer?
An AI assistant that runs the ATEM switcher for you. It cuts to whoever is talking, rolls your intro and lower thirds, and starts and stops the recording and the stream. You can also just tell it what you want, like "go wide" or "roll the intro". It's in beta, and a person is always a call away.
Can you edit my show too?
Yes. We can prep your files, do a pre-edit or a full edit, cut it down, pull social clips, and write transcripts and show notes. See our services.
Is there parking?
Parking isn't included. There's street parking around Sunset Junction and nearby paid lots; we'll send directions with your booking.
How far ahead should I book?
At least 48 hours ahead is best so we can confirm the room and set up. Sooner may be possible, so just ask.
What's your cancellation policy?
Free rescheduling or cancellation up to 48 hours before your session. Inside 48 hours, 50% of the session is charged; no-shows are charged in full.
Tell us about your show.
Send your dates, how many people, and whether you want audio, video or a live stream. We'll confirm the room and get back to you within one business day.
