BAND REHEARSAL STUDIOS

4-Piece Studio

3-Piece Studio
Will accommodate 3 people with equipment nicely. Based on the Fibonacci sequence, it aims for a flat eq response and is treated for a good amount of ambiance. The dimensions are 10x16x11. It is a fantastic tracking room. As an option, an all birch DW PDP Concept drum kit may be added. -check online scheduler for rates

Band Practice Rooms/Gallery
Each of Waveform’s music rehearsal studios are different in terms of size and acoustics. All have QSC K12 PA cabinets, individual a/c, floor-to-ceiling bass traps, custom absorption/reflection, 2 mic stands, stools, WiFi, and 1/8 inch/Lightning/USB C headphone adapters for the Mackie ProFX10v3 mixers. Also, because the sound proofing is great - you won’t be disturbed by adjacent rooms! All of our music rehearsals are booked online via the online scheduler so you can always quickly check availability.
*Rehearsals on weeknights are scheduled by block. There is a 6-8pm block, an 8-11pm block, or 6-11pm discounted block. There are no blocks for any rehearsal studio on the weekends.
*Our rehearsal studios do not come equipped with microphones or mic cables, though you can add them on as optional “Add On’s” during the booking process (they do come with 2 mic stands standard).
*Due to very low demand for it, we do not have any Guitar/Bass Amps or other gear to rent for your session other than drums/cymbals/microphones.

Drum Kits Gallery/Info.
We are very drummer-centric at Waveform Austin, so much so that we have a drum kit tuned and ready for every one of our studios. Our “Drum Kits” ($5/rehearsal) and the “Cymbal/Pedal Pack” ($10/rehearsal) are optional “Add-On’s” to any rehearsal studio reservation (*3, 4, 5-Piece Rehearsal Studios by default do not come equipped with a drum kit, though when needed, just add to your studio of choice while booking).
Special for our drummers is our signature “Drum Room”! Built by Drummers for drummers. Different than the larger rehearsal studios purpose built for individual practice. A place to “hone in” those grooves, try the “licks” and work the “chops”. Our drum kit in this studio (White “Ddrum” kit in the pictures) comes as pictured minus the “Crash” Cymbal. The Drum Room is the only studio where drums are pre-equipped, and included with a it’s studio reservation. So 'it’s ready to “ROCK!”, just don’t forget to bring your own “Crash”, drumsticks, and maybe some ear protection. ;)
*all or our Drum kits (3, 4, 5-piece Studios & Drum Room) come with three Cymbal stands, a Drum throne, a Snare stand, and a Hi-hat stand - bands typically get the core kit and the drummer brings in their preferred Bass pedal and Cymbals (similar to most common “Backline” situations)

Important Scheduling Notes: If you need to modify or *cancel a reservation outside of 24 hours prior to your appointment time, you can do so via the link on your confirmation email or also via your “Log In” online through the booking system… if you need to *cancel inside of 24 hours prior to your appointment time, there is no credit or refund given as that spot on the reservation calendar is effectively consumed.
*Consecutive and/or Multiple/Frequent Cancellations may only result in “store credit” under special circumstances.
