We are flexible
enough to serve any type of project. We can
- Record to digital sixteen-track tape. Following basic tape
tracking, the best takes can be flown into the
computer (exact digital copy) for mixdown there, or mixed in the analog
domain to stereo into the computer.
- Record up to twenty-four tracks simultaneously directly to the
computer, with unlimited overdubbing.
- Mix your tracks in the Analog domain using "outside the box"
analog summing.
- Synchronize to your video equipment.
- Overdub, Mix and/or Master your project no matter what its
current format (ADAT®, Pro Tools®, Final
Cut®, etc).
Mixing within
the computer (whether
starting with tape or direct to
disk) features
- full automation of all mixing parameters, ie, channel level, pan,
effects; everything
- timing and pitch correction
- quick and versatile editing
- intelligent noise reduction
- a wide array of digital signal processing
- external analog or digital equipment may be included in the mix
