Studio & Us — Archived Podcast Plans | studioandus.com
Practical notes drawn from the archived page: what to bring to a session, and how to tell raw files from a mixed episode.
The archived page was built around one idea: you focus on your content and the studio handles the rest. That works best when the content arrives prepared. A short outline of the episode, a segment order, and any intro or outro wording written down beforehand reduce dead air and shorten the session.
Know which files you are choosing before you compare any amount. Raw audio files are the unedited capture from the session, held without guarantees of isolation, channel routing, or file format. Raw video files are the unedited files from all cameras, kept so each angle can be cut later. A fully mixed episode is the opposite: assembly already handled, delivered ready to be published rather than as a folder of takes.
| Line item | Rate | What it delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Audio-only session | 39 BD / hour | Operator, two sE DynaCaster mics, Zoom H8 recorder, raw audio files |
| Audio and video | 49 BD / hour | Three Canon EOS R8 cameras, full lights, raw audio and raw camera files |
| Mixed audio and video | 59 BD / hour | Same video gear, raw files plus a fully mixed episode |

The distinction matters when you plan the work after the session. Raw files mean you (or an editor) still assemble everything. A mixed episode means that step is finished. The archived page priced those two outcomes differently across its three hourly tiers: 39 BD, 49 BD, and 59 BD per hour respectively.
These planning notes are author-written guidance based on what the archived page described. They are not measurements or trials, and none of the amounts are current quotes.
