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.
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.
Our use of Pro Tools 64 track digital audio recording,
provides Total Recall Mixing allowing you to update your
mix at any time before committing it to replication. CD -R
mastering and DVD-R authoring is part of the package. CD
and DVD duplication packages are also available.
We are also a video facility offering digital video
production using Sony DVCAM digital cameras and post
production with an AVID EXPRESS PRO "DNA" 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!
Jim Reeves
