Introduction

I will start by saying that no one made me become an engineer. I do it because - I know how.
It doesn't matter to me if your big or small, new or old to this industry!

I have designed this facility so that I can do the best job of capturing your performance as it happens.
Whether you are individual trying to get started seeking a simple demo,
or a seasoned major ad campaign exec mogul, the goal is the same.
Get the best result regardless of the budget.

The North Room

Our facility is designed to accommodate various recording demands for as wide a range of clients as possible. They include: voice-over announcers, TV commercial ("Jingle") producers, radio shows, children's productions, industrial/corporate audio/video productions, sound effects and sound design, actor auditions, piano/voice demos, self contained music groups from rock & roll bands to chamber music ensembles, opera, a cappella vocal groups and choirs. We have recorded artists with an 18 piece orchestra "live". State-of-the-art digital equipment, instruments and musicians are provided for creative individuals whose demands require full augmentation.

The Control Room

Our use of Pro Tools HD8 MAC G5 based 64 track digital audio recording, provides Total Recall Mixing allowing you to update your mix at any time before committing it to replication. 24 bit CD -R mastering and DVD-R authoring is part of the package. CD and DVD duplication packages are also available.

Audio - Video Area

We are also a video facility offering digital video production using Sony DVCAM digital cameras and post production with an AVID MEDIA COMPOSER w/MOJO
and FINAL CUT PRO non-linear digital editing system and full DVD authoring. Various video format conversions to DVD available.

Complete computer based MIDI sequencer programs (enabling musicians to compose musical parts on a synthesizer keyboard and create synthesized orchestrations) are also included for projects where synthesized music is desired.

In addition to the recording facility, "in house" sound design and original music production for TV, radio, media industrials and soloists is provided.

Vocal coaching for phrasing and intonation and harmony vocal arrangments are Jim Reeves' specialties.

While I have been engineering recording projects for more than thirty years for Columbia, Atlantic, Paramount, Epic, RCA and many other indie labels and music houses (and my services are included in the studio rate), outside engineers are encouraged to use the facility, and I will be happy to assist in any way to insure the integrity of whatever the project demands.

It's what I do!
