	Location Recording
	Location recording is available. We set up a stereo pair of microphones, up to 16 inputs, a high quality preamp and go direct to our mobile ProTools system. You receive a reference recording to complete your task list at home. You then bring your task list into the studio for editing and final mixing. Processing such as adding room/hall ambiance is easily done with the professional tools the studio has at its disposal.

	ProTools Automation
	Automation is a key ingredient to producing professional mixes. It makes re-mixing effortless due to total recall of all adjustments made in a prior session. Not only can volume, pan and mute be automated, every control in EQ, compression, limiting and effects can be automated as well.

Processing Audio for the Web
The MP3 Export option allows you to export and/or bounce audio to the popular MP3 file format. The MP3 Export option is based on the superior compression technology of Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute.
		You can now post musical compositions on the Internet, with the best MP3 compression available. We feature the very latest encoding technology from Fraunhofer Institute, offering dramatic improvements in processing speed, enhanced processing quality and support of constant bit rate and variable bit rate.

	Time Compression and Expansion
	Need advertising copy to be 59 seconds and 850 milliseconds even if your copy is 64 seconds in length? No problem, time compression can make a program shorter WITHOUT changing the PITCH. Need a PITCH change without changing the TIMING? that's available too.

If you need a music tracks for your demo, sound effects or enhancements to your full blown band sound, MIDI tracks could be the answer.

Sound effects for radio /TV commercials can be composed.

Using MIDI for a click track with real sounding instruments instead of an annoying blip sound is also an option.

	Non-Linear Recording Verses linear media	Unlike linear analog tape, Non-linear audio can be cut, pasted, copied and moved as typed words are edited in a word processor.
Hard disk recording also cost less for media. Two inch analog tape at 30 in. per second is expensive. Digital archiving costs are minimal and wont age like analog tape does.
