South Beach to the studio, without a cross-city day.

South Beach is the livelier end of the parade: holiday crowds, family beaches, and blocks of flats whose residents include musicians, church media volunteers, and people who will not cross Durban for a two-hour vocal if the room is ordinary. SN7 is on the North Beach side of that same coast. You come up the Golden Mile, you record, you go back.

Typical bookings from South Beach are lead vocals over a beat made at home, choir overdubs for a church that rehearses nearby, and short video days when a song already has a master. If you are staying in a guesthouse on the lower parade and you are only in Durban for the week, say so. We will not design a session that needs three return trips.

Holiday weekends change the roads. Book the session on a weekday if the song is the priority, and do not assume a Saturday morning will be quiet because the beach looks calm at seven. Send the files before you leave the flat. A memory stick forgotten in South Beach costs the first hour of a North Beach booking.

Send the track before you travel if you want mixing or mastering rather than a new recording.
