Studio A Media

For Logic, there really is no media.

However at some point you will want an 'archive' of your project.

A small quantity of DVD 'blanks' would be perfrect for this, or a multi-GB hard drive (firewire)





Studio B Media

Studio B uses high bit rate Logic. Again, to backup

files, a small quantity of DVD's is recommended.

Our "newest" Studio C is our portable - mobil recording set-up

We use the Zoom L-24 - 24 bit (48khz or 44.1khz) recording workstation!

This is a great set-up for live recording as well as smaller overdubbing projects
We bring all the equipment to your arena or house.
We supply headphones and microphones to use, you supply the talent and your own instruments.
We bring the set-up back to our studio to make mixes and CD copies.

Good for Christmas albums, reunion jams, party jams, holiday get togethers...

FUN AND VERY HIGH QUALITY.

 

Try it!!!!
