How much does a recording session cost?
These are Super Badass Records' published rates as of November 2026, rather than a price list for other studios in Uganda. Confirm your project scope and total when booking.
- Vocal recording: 50,000 UGX per song. Includes multiple takes, pitch and timing adjustments, cleanup and basic vocal processing.
- Mixing: from 60,000 UGX per song. Balancing, EQ, compression, effects and stereo placement.
- Mastering: from 60,000 UGX per song. Loudness, tonal balance and final limiting.
- Mixing and mastering package: 100,000 UGX. Confirm the deliverables for your release when booking.
- Studio rental: 25,000 UGX per hour. Two-hour minimum; equipment access and basic technical assistance included.
- Music production: quoted per project. Composition and arrangement are priced according to the track's needs.
Basic processing during a vocal session is separate from a full mix and master. If you need a finished release, include those services in your enquiry so you can agree the complete budget before recording.
Should I book recording, production or studio rental?
Choose vocal recording if you have your song and instrumental ready and need to capture your performance. A typical recording session takes two to three hours, while a more complex song can take up to five.
Choose music production if you need help developing the melodies, rhythms or arrangement. Share your demo and reference tracks when requesting a quote.
Choose studio rental if you need the room and equipment for an hourly booking. You can bring your own engineer; they will need an equipment briefing. Additional engineering services cost extra. Rental requires a 50% deposit, at least 24 hours' cancellation notice and a maximum of six people per session.
What should I bring?
- Your instrumental or project files, with a backup you can access at the studio.
- Finished lyrics and notes about doubles, harmonies or ad-libs you want to record.
- Reference tracks that show the sound you are aiming for.
- Your preferred recording date and release deadline, so the work can be scheduled.
For mixing and mastering, provide individual 48 kHz / 24-bit WAV stems with minimal processing and adequate headroom. Tell the engineer about any effects that are essential to your sound before exporting.
