How much does it cost to record a podcast in Mérida?

Recording a podcast in Mérida at AG Sound Studio costs $1,000 MXN per hour — with a launch price of $800 MXN/hour in effect through October 31, 2026, since we just opened. But the hourly rate is only part of the equation; here's what actually determines what you'll pay.

What the hourly rate includes

The rate includes the recording booth (up to 4 microphones, for host + guests) and a sound engineer running the session — it's not just an empty room rental. What it doesn't include is video: if you want cameras, that's quoted separately.

How long a typical session runs

Most episodes get recorded in 1 to 2 hours of studio time. If your podcast has guests or needs multiple takes, book the 2-hour block from the start — it's cheaper than extending on the fly, and it keeps the session from feeling rushed.

What if I want video too

Camera rental is a separate service, an extra $500 MXN/hour on top of the audio recording, and it covers one camera. Worth it if you plan to post clips to social, but not required — plenty of podcasts only need the audio. If you need several cameras, we coordinate that with a third party at an additional cost.

Getting an exact quote for your episode

The final price depends on how many hours you need and whether you want video. Build your exact quote in our calculator — select podcast, adjust the hours, and add camera rental if you want it. It gives you the total before you book anything.
