_________________________

The Special Note included below is included on this page because

it is important and should be stated up from before any recording. 

 

Special Note:  Often times people think that just because they are recording in a quality studio that their material; Vocals or Instrumental work, is going to sound great, compared to what they record at home.  Most quality studio's have the equipment, room and know-how to give you good quality recordings; but don't think that if you don't put forth the effort it is automatically going to sound good.

Studio recording in any good studio that will give you honest feedback and suggestions can help you greatly improve your project recording.  If you have enough money to pay for the time it takes to fix things, most studio's can even make bad recordings sound better.  The bottom line is that the quality and cost are mostly determined by you.  Studio's have the ability to let you hear everything well; the good and the bad.  Hearing the bad is just as important as hearing the good, because it lets you hear what you need to change.

It is far better to have one recording that you can be proud to play for anyone, anywhere than to have lots of songs on a CD that have bad pitch, bad timing and/or instrumentation, etc.  Not everyone is going to record a perfect performance the first time in a studio.  But if you like to sing or play music you should use each studio session as a learning session to help you make improvements.

No mater how good or bad you sing or play, the money you spend in the studio is best spent on recording your material in the best pitch and time you can and on your mixes and edits.  Most studio's have the ability to record with good quality.  What makes the difference on even the best initial recordings is the work that goes into the mix and edit.

Many people will go to a studio and record a CD full of songs, as if they were singing karaoke on stage.  They seem to think that just because they are singing in a studio it is going to sound good.  If the singer does not sing well and makes pitch and timing mistakes while singing live but generally has a pleasing voice, the people listening to the live performance may tell them they sound good.  Their small mistakes simply disappear into the live performance.  If those same mistakes are made during a studio recording session and punch inn's or other corrections are not made the final CD will not sound good and the customer will usually wonder why.  Good mix downs and edits are also required to make most any studio recorded material sound good, or at least as professional as possible.

If you sing 20 songs and only allow the minimum 10 to 15 minutes it normally takes to do a minimal clean up of the song ends, leveling to CD levels, do a quick mix and go through the processes required to put that material onto a CD, with a label, then you are not going to have as good a quality CD as you could have and it will still have taken 5 hours to do the 20 song quick mix.  Better quality mixes usually take a minimum of 30 minutes up to 2.5 hrs. each, depending on the material and quality desired.  Good Final Master mixes could require 1.5 hours and UP to several hours depending on the complexity of the material and quality desired.  Good mixes also require making sure your vocals and or instruments notes are in time and on pitch.  Good quality takes more time to make sure the EQ, effects such as reverb, compression, limiting, and many more variables are properly set for each audio track, voice or instrument.  The customer can discuss the options and based on their performance the studio can advise to what degree these things need to be done.  Few professional engineers will simply burn up time to run up a bill.  Doing good mixes and edits is a lot of hard work, and most engineers take pride in what they do no mater how minor or how intense the work gets.  It is well understood that some have a greater need to get it right than others.  Our studio will try to do the best we can within the time the customer allots us.
