Multitrack Recording & Editing

The quality of a record begins with the original performance and the interepretation of the artists, which should generally be captured as accurately and transparently as possible using the best audio technology available today. However, for some music styles a different approach (Vintage, Retro or Lo-Fi) might work even better. In order to make a great record, we believe that it is essential to understand which aesthetic approach to recording and creative sound design will work best to transport the emotional quality of a certain type of music and performance.

We offer state-of-the-art digital multitrack recording for almost any combination of instruments and voices: from solo instruments and small chamber music ensembles up to large symphonic orchestra with full choir and soloists. We can record jazz and pop/rock bands, either live (with all musicians and vocalists performing at the same time) or in studio with additional overdubs.

The audio equipment is carefully chosen according to the instruments, the musical style and the acoustic quality of the recording location. All the equipment we use is our own and therefore certified to always perform as expected.

Artistic direction is provided during the recording sessions: we constantly monitor the quality of the artistic output and make sure that every recorded part meets the highest musical and technical standards. We work closely with the musicians and vocalists, offering support and helping them to perform at their very best.

During editing, the takes with the best interpretation are musically combined with great care and with particular attention to details like phrasing, dynamics, color and rubato nuances. Finally, we provide high-end mixing and mastering services, to complete your audio production at the highest possible standards.
