SERVICES

We offer a number of specialist of services including: audio restoration, music mixing, basic mastering and vocal repairs (tuning and lining up backing vocals).

Mixing

We love musicians that believe in self-recording - it's defined our approach from day one. Often with the right gear, some well placed microphones and a neutral space to record in you can capture great results.

There's an old adage never to 'fix it in the mix' and this is essentially true but in the real world its exactly what gets done. We love to take your multi track recordings and mix them through our gear - much of the time you'll hear a big improvement because we have specialist software, knowledge of mixing techniques, studio-quality monitoring and the experience to bring out the best in your recordings.

Audio Restoration

We have the software and experience to restore old recordings - from 100 year old records to much newer audio. Restoration can not make your audio sound pristine but it can often vastly improve it to be much easier to listen to.

Many people have cassettes of music they recorded 40 or more years ago - as well as removing noise and re-balancing the tone we can go further using AI to separate out the instruments (unmix) and remix with more control over the overall sound. Sometimes it is even possible to replace instruments, or parts such as snare or bass drums using the same timing as originally played to improve the mix.
