Studio time is $35 / hour and includes 2 engineers for faster and more efficient set up and transition time. Basic recording services include tracking (up to 200 tracks), and mixing, but we also specialize in advanced digital editing techniques, including precise and natural-sounding vocal tuning, timing adjustment for any instruments or vocal tracks, noise reduction for individual tracks or entire mixes, midi-to-audio conversion (using our synths, sound modules and vast sample library, or your own hardware), and more.

The studio uses a computer-based recording system that is both Mac and PC friendly. The primary studio computer is a custom, built from the highest quality components, 3.0gHz P4, running both Nuendo and ProTools, and loaded with the latest and greatest plug-ins and software synths.

Tracking: There is enough room to record an entire 4-piece band live with a reasonable degree of isolation, or larger groups all together in the same room if preferred. Seperate headphone mixes are possible - for example, if the drummer wants a loud click but the rest of the band does not. All studio areas of the building are fully and silently air-conditioned.

Mixing: All mixes are fully automated with total recall, so it's easy to pick up right from where you left off from a previous session. We will usually do basic mixing 'as we go' during tracking to ensure a faster and more efficient mixdown time after tracking. Entire mixer settings can be transferred easily and quickly from one song to another for effortless revisions to previous mixes based on current mixes. Special effects (such as gunshots, techno sub-bass sounds, sampled instruments, and many others) can be addded from either our sample library or any audio clips that you bring in.

Editing: Some of the digital editing services we do that are commonly requested include: Vocal Timing & Pitch Correction - Just about any and all aspects of a vocal track can be changed (within reason) down to individual syllables, from simple timing adjustment to syncing a doubled vocal track to the original, changing pitch automatically or manually to fit the key of the song, and more. Drum Edits - Drums recorded to a click can be quantized, snares lined up to kicks, tempos adjusted, sections synced to a tempo track. Drums not recorded to a click can still be quantized (though this is a little more difficult), and have a click track created around them. Individual hits can be brought out, entire sections or single notes copied and pasted from different takes. Drum sounds can be completely changed, swapped out with drums from our sample library.

Day rates are also available at $250 / 9-hour day - 4 hours tracking, 1 hour break, 4 more hours tracking (and / or mixing). Day rates can be split up into two 4-hour segments over two days if the first session is an evening session and the next session is a morning session. For these kinds of sessions, equipment can be left set up in the tracking room.

A weekly lockout rate is also available at $1000 / 5 consecutive days. Each day is a 9-hour day - 4 hours tracking, 1 hour break, 4 more hours tracking (and / or mixing). Equipment may be left set up for the entirety of the 5 days, and the room may be used for rehearsal in between session times for no additional fee.
