STUDIO:
I have a small studio where nearly all of the films, TV shows, music and other projects described on the “audio post” pages of this site were sound-edited and mixed. It is located in an easy-to-get-to part of the SF area near a BART station. It includes:
--Calibrated 5.1 and stereo precision monitoring with Dolby surround processors.
--Dolby LM100, DMM2, Pinguin, Neve and Dorrough broadcast loudness meters and other measuring devices for meeting network specs (1770-2, R128 etc)
--A large SFX and ambiance library, both personal and from commercial sources
--Voice-over (etc.) studio with the appropriate mics and monitoring
--Digital audio workstations with many noise reduction/audio repair and sound-design type plug ins, as well as import utilities and translators for receiving edits from various picture-editing systems.
--Digital video playback in sync to picture.
LOCATION MUSIC RECORDING EQUIPMENT:
Location music recording for both CD type release as well as video shoots.
--24 channel portable multitrack recorder-rack with high fidelity preamps (JoeCo BBR) in a portable rack--up to 24 tracks with mic preamps, monitor feeds, word clock and timecode distribution. Multichannel audio snakes, large inventory of mics, stands and cable, consoles 8 to 38 channels. Other systems can be combined with this for higher track-counts.
--20+ channel transformer splitter rack.
--Systems are configured per-job for maximum efficiency, speed of setup and strike.
--Please see the “Music Recording: Discography”, “Film Music” and “Music Recording: unpublished” pages for info on my past work.
