Recording Studio Rental — Yeonsinnae Vocal Recording
Recording Booking — Quick Answers
The questions we hear most, answered first.
How much does recording cost?
A 3-hour vocal recording session is ₩250,000, however many songs you record. Hourly rental is ₩100,000 (2-hour minimum). Day Lock is ₩350,000 for 4 hours or ₩650,000 for 8 hours. All prices include VAT.
Can I rent just the room without an engineer?
Every session at Studio NOL includes a dedicated engineer — vocal directing, mic setup and real-time monitoring — so even first-time recordists get a great result.
Where are you, and how do I book?
A 5-minute walk from Yeonsinnae Station (Daejo-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul). We work by appointment only — message our KakaoTalk open chat with your date and number of songs and we'll confirm after a short chat.
Do I have to arrange distribution and release on my own after recording?
No. Planning, recording, mixing and mastering continue into distribution on Melon, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music, and into release promotion — a written press kit pitched to Korean music outlets as well as international media, radio and playlist curators. You can book recording alone, or go all the way to release with us.
