The
Recording Process
1. Pre Production
If this
is your first project, don't worry! We'll help guide you
though every step of the recording process. We will meet
with you to look at the overall picture. What you have in
mind for production and help guide you to the most efficient
way to prepare for your recording. We'll help organize sessions,
prepare musicians and hiring of musicians if necessary.
2. Tracking
Between
our Focusrite mic pre-amps, Trident sidecar, our fine array
of mic's and our engineering expertise we will capture ever
detail of your music.
3. Mixing
With
The purchase of ProTools
and the Focusrite Control
24, the quality of mixing has been raised significantly,
allowing the finest automated mixes to be made and saved,
for the perfect mix.
A combination
of Plug-ins or Vintage
and State-of-the-art outboard gear
is used to add just the right amount of control to your
recorded tracks.
4. Mastering
Mastering
(visit the FAQs page for
a brief explanation) has recently become a buzz word among
recording artists, yet many people still do not know what
it means.
The
fact is, even fewer people have the ability to do it. At
Ardent we offer the most current digital mastering tools
to offer you the best possible sounding Master CD. The final
touches of clarity and impact, as well as song sequence,
are done at this stage.
