Recording | Mixing
Tracking songwriters and bands is our favourite service! You can use any of our vast array of ecelctic instruments (pedal steel? hurdy gurdy? hammered dulcimer? timpani?), and, enjoy recording music in our light filled, floorboarded live room. We can book you in for a half day (5 hours) or full day (10 hours) of recording and/or mixing. If you’d like to record more than 2 songs, I’d recommend booking at least 2 consecutive days; it’s much more time efficient, and, a lot more fun and relaxed.
Of course, we often mix the recordings we make here, but, we also complete a lot of mixing work for those of you who either are recording from home, or, have stems from another studio. If you are recording from home, get in touch; we have a lot of great advice regarding getting the best sound in a home recording setup (after all, that’s what we are too!), and, do a lot of consultation work in this area (including guest lectures).
Mastering
Mastering can be completed either unattended or attended. We use a hybrid approach (the best of both worlds) utilising a combination of analog outboard and digital processing. We can master for digital, CD, Vinyl and cassette release.
Analog Transfer | Audio Restoration
Bring in your old cassette demos, your vinyl, your 1/4” tapes, your DATs, and, we can convert them to digital copies, and, where requested, we can restore these recordings to either match current production standards, or, to simply arrive at a more presentable listening experience. Or maybe you’re film has too much on-set noise, or, distracting sounds? We can help. We’ve been known to restore very poor quality audio to a high standard using such techniques as noise reduction and spectral editing.
Sound Design | Film Scores
I’ve been completing sound design for theatre, dance and cinema for two decades. I also compose music for film scores or games. Acclaimed Director and Film Maker, Ben Pfeiffer said the following about my work as a theatre sound designer: “Adam’s comprehension of thematic focus, structure, genre and the emotional landscape that informs his imaginings sets him apart from the pack. He creates soundscapes from a place of intuition and instinct, drawing on a delicate balance between the intellectual and emotional realms. His aesthetic is textural and layered, complex and fragile, grounded and spiritual. He’s also an utter delight to work with and a true collaborator.”

Voice Over
Whether you want to record your own voice over, or, have vocal talent you’d like to record (your latest audiobook? your promotional video?), we can accomodate, and, have a controlled environment for a very focused, forward sound. We have the best microphones in the world for your use. We can also provide voice over talent (we have a voice over artist who actually lives here in the studio!).
Here is an example of a voice over completed here at The True Vine.
