Our services.

We will always discuss your project with you prior to booking to make sure you understand the potential time and cost involved.

 

 

Tracking

Track your project in our residential space in beautiful Redwood City, CA.

We offer 24 tracks of simultaneous capture at sample rates up to 192khz, or alternatively to 2” tape. In addition to our workhorse Universal Audio Unison™ pre-amp options, we also offer a collection of boutique outboard analog pre-amps from manufactures like API and BAE.

All tracking sessions include rough mixing during the session. Clients will leave with rough mixes and unprocessed stems.

Mixing

Send us your project’s multi-track audio files, and we will mix it.

All mixes are summed in analog using our Neve 5059 summing mixer, and finished using our all-analog master bus chain.

We offer a comprehensive suite of incredible sounding models of classic audio pieces from Universal Audio, Waves, and more.

Unattended mix rates do not include editing time.

Editing

If you have edits that need to be done, whether it’s comp’ing a killer track from multiple takes, editing drum timing, or flying in that one good chorus take through the song, we’ve got you covered.

At this time, we only provide editing services for clients who are tracking and/or mixing through our studio.

 

Our tracking schedule is currently limited, and availability depends heavily on what you’re recording, so please provide project details when you contact us.

A quick note.

We are always willing to discuss your project with you. While we have standard rates for our services, we can often get creative to make your project happen on your budget.
