A common fixture in recording scenes like LA and Nashville, session bands work on the principle of keeping a highly versatile group of players together from project to project to ensure that a solo artist can get a quality single or album done quickly by a band who have a solid track-record in the studio. Featuring members of Autozamm, Opshop, Parachute Band, ElemenoP and The Mint Chicks, the York Street session band has 46 albums, 14 Tuis and a huge amount of production and playing know-how under their collective belt.

Most single or album projects follow a fairly standard timeline.

1. Demo-ing Quickly and basically arranging and recording your song or songs and putting them under the microscope to make sure you're investing the time and money in the right ones.
2. Pre-Production Taking the songs you've decided to record and working on the structure, key, tempo and hooks with a band. These 'road maps' become the basis for what you'll chase during the session.
3. Recording Session Building on pre-production by chasing the sounds, performance and parts from each instrument that'll make up your finished recording.
4. Mixing & Mastering Taking the tracks, sounds and ideas from the session and building them into a finished recorded track that meets world-class sonic standards.

Different personnel from the band will be involved at different stages of the process depending on the project. Prices start from $4000 for a single through to whole album packages. Packages include the band, Studio A and engineer.
