Music Production
MUSIC PRODUCTION
Instrumentals / Jingles / Soundtracks We compose in many genres of music using live instruments or by programming the song, jingle or soundtrack on our digital multi-track recorder, Pro Logic. When programming the track we use an extensive array of high quality sample libraries that will cover all of your sonic needs. We feel comfortable with any approach our clients need whether the recording is live, programmed or a blend of both.
Songwriting We can write the song or co-write the song with the artist. We also can write and arrange a song that is at a piano / vocal level.
Guitar Recording When live guitars are needed in your production, we provide you with a blinding array of high fidelity tones ranging from rock to ambient to funk. The tones can be brought up in seconds with our dedicate guitar rack comprised of API mic pre-amps and EQs. We then use a Little Labs distribution network that sends the mono guitar signal to four different sound sources simultaneously. This system gives us an endless possibility of guitar tones which can then be blended with our Marshall amps to further give your project a unique sound signature . We also have complement of great guitars to choose from for additional tone varieties.
Music Programming Highlights To achieve speed and efficiency in getting a music track up and running, we have pre-programmed style specific instrument templates in Pro Logic. So whether your needing an R&B, Rock, Rap, or Classical music track, we have the sounds that go with that style ready to bring up in seconds.
Production Tools The audio recording and mixing DAW is Pro Tools HDX with 32 analogue outputs. Our music programming DAW is Pro Logic on a MAC OSX Pro Tower housing our sample libraries.
