Mastering:


Put the finishing touches on your mix and get it sounding crisp and clear and ready for pressing. Our mastering software is Bias Peak.

Full production:

We can help you build your song from scratch. This can include programming drum parts, help put chords behind a melody, working with you to come up with parts. Either we can record and play all the parts in house or if you need specific live parts, we can recommend excellent, professional players.

We use Motu Digital Performer as our notation software and can print basic melody/lyrics/chord symbols as well as separate parts for multiple instruments. Excellent results
