What is a Lockout?
A lockout is your own dedicated studio space with 24/7 access. Think of it as having your own private creative space that's always ready when you are.
How Lockouts Work
With a monthly lockout subscription, you get exclusive access to a studio room. No sharing, no booking conflicts—just walk in whenever inspiration strikes.
Your lockout includes:
- 24/7 access to your dedicated space
- Your own access code that works any time, day or night
- Storage for your equipment so you don't have to pack up after every session
- Month-to-month billing with no long-term contracts required
Lockout vs. Hourly Booking
Not sure which option is right for you? Here's a quick comparison:
| Feature | Lockout | Hourly Booking |
|---|---|---|
| Access | 24/7, unlimited | Reserved time slots only |
| Equipment storage | Yes, leave your gear set up | Must pack up after each session |
| Billing | Monthly subscription | Pay per session |
| Best for | Regular creators who want their own space | Occasional sessions or trying us out |
Studio Sizes
Lockouts come in different sizes to fit your needs and budget:
- Small (S) — Perfect for solo artists and producers
- Medium (M) — Great for duo work or extra gear
- Large (L) — Room for a full band setup
- Extra Large (XL) — Maximum space for larger groups or extensive equipment
Pricing varies by location and studio size.
Who Gets a Lockout?
Lockouts are ideal if you:
- Create music, podcasts, or content regularly
- Want a consistent space that's always set up and ready
- Need somewhere to store instruments or equipment
- Value the freedom to work on your own schedule
If you're just getting started or only need occasional studio time, hourly booking might be a better fit. You can always upgrade to a lockout later!
