MIDI-INTEGRATED INSTRUMENTATION FOR ALL PRODUCTION & RECORDING FORMATS

We can offer a suitable-tailored combination of DIGITAL plus pure ANALOGUE production/music setup, which involves use of the same-named processes within a given project. Thus the client may choose for instance to use both natural analogue inputs and instruments (live guitars/drums) while MIDI Instruments (soft and hard synths and gear) complement the process. -The studio will normally part-produce analogue in conjuction with local partners "Soundworks Oxford" where larger facilities are avaialble. Physical hardware and gear (i.e. live acoustic drums, live guitars as opposed to "sample sounds") is also provided as required

HI-END PROFESSIONAL INSTRUMENTATION AND GEAR : "HARDWARE" AS WELL AS "SOFTWARE"(PC-BASED) FORMAT


We also use only high -end professional equipment, from industry standard workstations and software (see below), coupled with the relevant training to do a professional job. Our clients are however totally free to use their own options as suitable: this includes using one's own equipment, whether acoustic or electronic. The studio is equiiped 5to deal with all manner of music!
