Studios in
Staten Island
Shaolin. A short list, so if you live there, check these before you pay for a ferry and a train to somebody else’s booth.
Compare the rooms.
Start with location and the studio’s published rate. These are the studio’s own terms, not equivalent quotes: a number may cover a room, an engineer, a minimum block, or a package. Open a listing for services, booking details, and source links.
| Studio | Area | Published rate | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fenix Studios | Staten Island | SSL Control Room — $120/hr | Oct 11, 2026 |
| The Continental Studios | St. George | Studio A with staff engineer $65/hr (2-hr minimum); Studio B $50/hr (3-hr minimum) | Oct 11, 2026 |
Read the room.
Listed A to Z from each studio’s own website. Rates, rooms and gear change; confirm with the studio before you book. Listing is not an endorsement, and no studio paid to appear. Run one of these rooms? Fix your listing
Ask first.
Pay second.
Whether the engineer is included, the minimum block, the deposit, and the files you leave with are what separate a good session from an expensive one. Settle all four before you send money. And if somebody else in the room is writing or producing, print a split sheet before anyone goes home.
