Question 1

How does the cost compare with taking a label deal?

Accepted Answer

A label deal and a studio package work differently, so there is no one-to-one price match. Halftone Haus lists $4,500 for Single Release, $18,000 per year for Quarterly EP Cycle, and $42,000 per year for Annual Brand Retainer; compare those fixed-scope fees with any label offer before deciding.

Question 2

Who owns the masters and creative work?

Accepted Answer

The current studio FAQ says the artist receives the masters and commissioned artwork, while Halftone Haus keeps a limited license to show the work in its portfolio. Confirm the exact rights assignment and portfolio terms in the written agreement before signing.

Question 3

How long does each tier take?

Accepted Answer

Single Release lists a four-week turnaround. Quarterly EP Cycle runs in a 90-day cycle with four drops per year, while Annual Brand Retainer runs for 12 months. The Retainer’s 24-hour commitment is for a response, not for delivering the work.

Question 4

How many revisions are included?

Accepted Answer

The pricing page does not currently list how many revision rounds each tier includes or what additional rounds cost. Ask for the included rounds and any extra charges in writing before choosing a tier.

Question 5

What do I need to provide to get started?

Accepted Answer

Start with a one-line pitch, a short artist bio, and a rough cut, producer bounce, or reference track; a finished mix is not required. Share a target release date, two visual references per visual deliverable, and the name of anyone who needs to approve the work.
