TuneCore has partnered with the legendary Quad Recording Studio in New York City to offer discounted rates for TuneCore artists who need high quality professional recording. Now TuneCore artists can record in the same studio that has been used by Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Coldplay, just to name a few. You have full access to the world of major label commercial recording at a fraction of the price! This exciting partnership allows TuneCore artists to fully use Quad’s state of the art recording facility, a professional recording engineer, and full access to the entire microphone collection.

How It Works:

***Please note that as Quad is currently experiencing studio renovations, only Studio D is available for booking at this time. This is perfect for vocal recording (and you can fit a guitar in there) as well as mixing. All rates below include a skilled professional engineer that has worked with the industry’s top artists. There is a 4 HOUR MINIMUM. Booking studio time at Quad does not usually include working with a professional engineer, but you get to work with one through this TuneCore exclusive!

**If you need 12 or more hours at a discounted rate, please write an email to studio@tunecore.com or call 347-694-4915
