Go to EngineEars.com and **[Sign In](https://engineears.com/signin)** to your Studio account 2\. If you are prompted, make sure you **[verify your email address](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-verify-my-email?hsLang=en)** and also [**verify your phone number**](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-verify-my-phone-number?hsLang=en) to secure your account. 3\. After logging in, if you haven't chosen a [**Membership Plan**](https://engineears.com/add-subscription) for your account yet, you will be asked to pick one. You can get started for *FREE* by picking the **[Essentials Plan](https://engineears.com/add-subscription)**.  **TIP:** If you upgrade to the **[Platinum Plan](https://engineears.com/add-subscription)**, you will pay 0% service fees on all session bookings and receive a ton of additional benefits.   ### **Get Started with Studio Account Set Up** 1\. **[Create your Studio Profile](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/complete-your-studio-profile?hsLang=en)** and fill in the pertinent details about your studio facility 2\. Make sure you **[Link your Google Calendar](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-link-my-studio-calendar?hsLang=en)** to your Studio Profile. This ensures that your studio's availability is always up-to-date, and that session bookings added/modified/canceled through the EngineEars platform are seamlessly synced to your Google Calendar as calendar events. 3. Next, [**Invite your Teammates and/or Affiliated Engineers**](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-invite-teammates-or-affiliates?hsLang=en) to join your Studio Team on the EngineEars platform so you can coordinate scheduling, room assignments, manage multiple session bookings and varying rates simultaneously. **Note:** You can skip this Studio Team invitation step if there are **no** other engineers that record in your studio besides yourself. **TIPS:** - After invitations are sent to your Teammates and/or Affiliate Engineers, make sure you provide them these **[instructions on how to accept the Studio Team invitation](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-to-accept-an-invitation-to-join-a-studio?hsLang=en#affiliate-engineer)**. - *Each* Affiliate Engineer that joins your Studio Team is required to **[Add a Recording Service Package](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-setup-a-recording-service?hsLang=en)** to their profile after accepting the studio invitation. This allows the Affiliate Engineer to be booked for recording sessions with your studio room, based on their own set hourly rates and schedule. 4\. Then **[Add a Studio Room](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/complete-your-studio-profile?hsLang=en#add-studio-room)** to your Studio Profile, and also [**Add a Studio Room Rate**](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-to-setup-studio-rates?hsLang=en). This allows you to customize your session booking parameters, hourly rates, and scheduling preferences so you can start accepting client bookings for your studio room! **🌟 Tip:** Not located in the US? Make sure to update your studio's **[billing currency](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-update-my-billing-currency-as-a-studio?hsLang=en)**. 5\. Do you **personally** provide recording services at your studio and/or travel to record at other locations? If yes, then **[Add a Recording Service Package](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-setup-a-recording-service?hsLang=en)** to your own Engineer Profile so that you can get recording sessions booked based on your own set hourly rates and schedule. **Note:** If you don't **personally** provide recording services,you can skip this step to add a Recording Service Package.  6. Now you can [**Generate Session Booking Links**](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-generate-a-booking-link?hsLang=en) to share with your *existing clients* so you can easily collect deposits, automate invoices/receipts, and manage ALL your upcoming sessions on EngineEars.  🎉 Congrats you’ve completed your Studio account set up!    ### **Advanced Settings for Studio Set Up** After you have completed your Studio account set up, you may want to consider how to customize advanced settings to optimize the way your studio works best for you.
