Pre-production
Sound Grotto can be booked for a writing session or rehearsal for an upcoming performance. PA and backline are included.
Editing Audio
During this stage, we can correct tuning issues, correct timing issues, choose takes, clear talking before and after the takes in the recording, remove undesired breathing sounds, a missed kick drum, or a flat note. This is the stage where we can polish the recording.
Mixing
Audio mixing is the process of blending and combining audio tracks so that each element has a pleasing sound and distinct space in a finished stereo recording. The goal of mixing is to bring out the best in your multi-track recording by adjusting: levels, panning, and audio effects for each individual track.
​
Once we have top-notch tracks, we are ready to begin the process of mixing those tracks for maximum impact, clarity, and vibe.
Recording
This is the point where we capture all the heart and energy of your performance. How do you like to record - with or without a metronome, headphones or not? After that is determined, we begin the process of deploying the right mics and mic preamps for the job.
Mastering
Mastering a song involves taking a mix and putting the final touches on it by elevating certain sonic characteristics. This can involve aspects like adjusting levels, applying stereo enhancement, and monitoring for clicks and pops–anything that could distract the listener from the music. The end result is a polished, clean sound that is optimized for consistent playback across different formats and systems.
