engineered sessions work well for experienced hosts who know their setup and are comfortable troubleshooting on the fly. You get the room, the mics, and the space — you run it.
Engineered sessions add Carlos Montoya on the board for the full session. He manages levels, monitors audio quality, and makes sure what you record is usable. For guests who have never been in a studio, the engineered rate is worth it.
At Union Square Loft, every session includes the Fulcrum Acoustics 4.2 sound system, professional microphones, acoustic treatment, and full loft space. Engineered and video sessions add Carlos operating the board or camera.
The Sony FX6 4K camera, full lighting, Fulcrum audio, and a real room with cast-iron columns and 13-foot ceilings means your video looks like you meant it. At $350/hr or $1,200 for a 4-hour block, it is competitive for what you get.
