Original Audio Recording
We offer a full range of audio recording services that can take you from performance to a CD ready for duplicating. You can choose any or all of the services below to suit your needs. Recording (Tracking) Recording gets your performance down into a digital format - usually each voice/instrument on its own separate track. This can entail choosing the right microphone, placing it in the best place, choosing the proper microphone pre-amps and settings and keeping the recording level at the optimum level during the performance. This can also include retakes, overdubbing and punching in/out. |
Mixing
and Editing Mixing and editing are two different processes but are commonly done at the same stage of the recording process. This is because one can affect the other: a change in edits may require a change in the mix and vice versa. Editing involves listening to each track and changing them to make them sound better for the song. The change can be a combination of equalizing (EQ), compressing, limiting, and adding effects like chorus, reverb, flange, etc. Mixing a song involves combining all the separate tracks created during recording (and after editing) into a single stereo file. This can involve setting proper levels of all tracks, track automation, further effects addition, etc. |
Mastering Mastering should be the last step in the whole recording process. Mastering normally deals with all the stereo files (after tracking, editing and mixing) of the album. The main objectives of mastering is to make each song sound better, to make each song sound like they all belong together in the album, and to get the album ready for duplication. It is recommended that the mastering process be done by a different person than the one involved in the mixing and editing stage. One of the main advantages of having someone different do the mastering stage is it involves a different and "fresher pair of ears. But it can be all in done at RimSpeed if you prefer. Though mastering is normally done on a body of work (a whole album, for example), we can apply the process to a single song if that's all you have. |
