Quality
Integrity
Ministry
Our studio takes these three values very seriously.
We try to maintain an environment to honor the vision of our clients and the quality of our work, so the music will have an impact on the culture.
Before creating your song
- A music producer creatively leads the project and helps develop the song in its entirety.
- Vocal producing involves an understanding of the vocals and comping & tuning vocals.
- Determining the key of the song is essential such as considering the singer's gender and range.
- Details as to the genre and similar artists help convey the project.
- Include any sample track references or demo recordings in request.
- If you are not local to the Panhandle, we can work remotely.
Recording your vocals and instruments
- Make sure your recordings are not clipping (going in the red) while recording.
- Try stacking your background vocals: Record soprano, alto, and tenor parts at least twice.
- Record your vocals and instruments dry since effects can be added in the mix. Guitars can be recorded with effects.
- Record your audio tracks in mono unless your are recording a true stereo source such as a keyboard.
- Choose your best location if recording at home. A large space with wood floors is great for vocals.
- Please take the time to name all files concisely that make sense: Kick, Piano, Vocals, BGV 1, Synth 1, EGuitar.
- Clean up your tracks to remove unwanted noises between performance parts. Crossfade at edit points to eliminate clicks and pops.
- Add Pitch and time correction. We keep the rates low by not offering to edit 30+ tracks. However, we are glad to provide this service on request.
- Please do NOT send a stereo file for mono content. Send a mono WAV for mono sound and a stereo WAV for stereo sound.
- Export your tracks without any effects or processing in 24-bit. However, please include them when preserving a particular sound.
- Consolidate and flatten your tracks before exporting. Export all tracks from the beginning of a session and ensure they are continuous.
