services
- Tracking
-
Whether you are tracking a whole album, an EP, a single, or you just need to track drums, guitars, or vocals for a project you are working on elsewhere, we've got you covered.
- Re-Amping
-
If you tracked your guitars elsewhere and captured a nice, clean DI (direct) guitar, we offer reamping services where we send that DI out into our huge selection of tube amps and capture the warm analog goodness that you just don't get from plugins and modelers.
- Remote Sessions and Remote Mixing
-
Artist in Phoenix and the producer is in Nashville?? No problem. Using Zoom and Audiomovers software, we can provide a CD quality live audio feed to anywhere in the world. Listen live to the mix and provide feedback in realtime. Remote mixing sessions work the same way. We can share the studios cameras, Pro Tools screen, and full resolution audio feed while communicating via Zoom.
- Tape Transfers
-
In addition to the normal backline and recording equipment used in the tracking process, we have a ton of task specific gear used for the mixing and mastering processes. We also do tape transfers from many different older recording formats into the modern digital formats of the present.
- Mixing
-
Yes, we record, but we also offer mixing services for artists who choose to record elsewhere. Our hybrid process of combining analog and digital technology gives a special touch that is hard to get staying all "in the box."
- Mastering
-
We offer in house mastering that also employs an analog and digital hybrid approach. Our outboard mastering gear is much of the same ultra high end toys you will find in the world's greatest mastering studios. Things like the Weiss EQ1-LP and Weiss DS1-mk2 as well as the Manley Massive Passive EQ and Variable Mu Compressor and Dangerous BAX EQ and WAVES L2 Hardware Limiter allow us to get your songs to the industry standard polish and volume level.
