Services
- Recording
- We can help capture your performances, from portable analog devices to audiophile-quality digital precision. Various studio arrangements are available.
- Session players
- We regularly work with professional artists, who can help convert your idea into ideal performances. Drummers, bassists, guitarists, keyboardists, and vocalists are available.
- Editing & quantizing
- Perhaps your multitracks aren't as pristine as you'd like. Or perhaps you're hoping that your recording doesn't have as much... swing? We can help.
- Re-amping
- Sometimes you might have a great performance, but need help sending that signal into the amp and effects paths of your dreams. We work with both simulated and live-mic reamplification, and have a wide selection to choose from.
- Mixing
- We can work with you to convert your multitracks into any kind of blended tone you'd like, from lo-fi noise to full-frequency surround sound. We'll also work with any references you'd provide for inspiration.
- Mastering
- We can ensure that your mixes are consistent, appropriately present, and professional. Whether you're aiming for Internet distribution, vinyl, or other applications, we'll make sure you sound your best.
