   2.    How to book and manage your sessions 

  • Book a session

From the Dashboard, check out all the services and artists available, either clicking on "View Artists" or "View Services"

 

You can also search by services or the name of the specific artist from the search bar at the top

 

From a Service's page, explore the artists' profiles and the Session Overview, and book by selecting one from the calendar

 

From a specific artist's Profile, read the guidelines and info, and click on "Book" to go to the calendar

  • Book a longer session

Longer sessions are composed of up to 4 slots. They count as separate, concurrent bookings within your active booking max, or can be booked combined with top-ups. They can be used to work on longer tracks, or more takes of 1 track. If you want to record multiple tracks, you'll need to book 1 separate sessions, 1 per track.

  • Book a session with top-ups 

If you have reached your active booking limit and need to book a session, or need to extend one, you can purchase individual top-ups.

Go for the slot you want to book, and follow the steps to get your top-up

Select your payment method, and confirm the checkout and booking

You can also book longer sessions by combining top-ups with your remaining bookings. Each slot you book will require an additional top-up. For instance, if you have 1 session available and wish to book a 3-slot session, you will need to purchase 2 top-ups.

You can access the invoice for your purchase directly in the session, from the Sessions' area

Rescheduling, cancellations and refunds

  • You cannot reschedule a session booked with top-ups, either partially or fully.

  • You can cancel a session booked with top-ups at any time.

  • If you cancel at least 48 hours in advance (following the regular cancellation steps), you will automatically receive a refund. If you cancel with less than 48 hours' notice, you will not receive a refund. The system will show you the possibility of refund before confirming

  • If you have set your subscription to cancel or pause and have a session booked with top-ups after that date, it will be automatically cancelled. The refund conditions above will apply.

This will be necessary for you to upload your files and organize your sessions. You'll also provide general information on the name of the track, bpm and genre. You can see all your tracks, and also create them, from My Tracks

  • Add files to a session

These are the materials (written and audio) the artists are going to be working with in your session. You can use files from former sessions under the same track, or upload new ones, or combine both. You can also add notes and comments, as well as reference links for music you'd like them to be inspired by. Find the complete guidelines of what you need to provide in each service's page
