Recording

Recording is the foundation of any track, where sounds are captured in their raw form. This stage involves capturing live performances, whether it’s vocals, instruments, or other sounds, using microphones and recording equipment. The goal is to create high-quality audio tracks that will serve as the building blocks for the rest of the process. It’s essential to focus on clarity and performance accuracy during recording, as this will affect the entire project moving forward.

Our recording services include voice and single instrument recording, overdubbing, editing, and mixing for various purposes. Whether it's for podcasts, webinars, voice-overs, audiobooks, or vocal recordings over pre-recorded instrumentals, we deliver precise, reliable results tailored to your needs.

Production

Production is where creativity takes center stage, shaping the sound and structure of the track. It involves arranging, layering, and refining elements, including songwriting, instrumentation, and additional sound design. This phase is all about enhancing the artistic vision, making decisions on the musical direction, and ensuring that each element complements the overall track. The result is a cohesive piece that feels complete and ready for mixing.

We offer a comprehensive range of production services, from songwriting and arranging to remixing and project management. Our team also handles film scores, ad production, sound design, and post-production. With expertise in diverse musical genres, from classical to contemporary, we ensure that every artistic vision is fully realized and ready for the next step.

  • Projects are priced on a case-by-case basis.

Mixdown

Mixing brings everything together, balancing the recorded and produced elements into a polished, unified sound. This stage involves adjusting levels, EQ, reverb, and effects to ensure clarity and depth, as well as creating a sense of space within the track. The goal is to make each sound sit well together in the stereo field and ensure the track is ready for mastering. Mixing is the final step before the track is finalized and ready for distribution.

We use a combination of high-end analog and digital processing to craft a mix with sonic characteristics like width, depth, warmth, and punch, ensuring a sound that seamlessly fits your project and is fully prepared for the next phase - mastering.
