Studio

Best of both worlds

Although it is common to use computers with lots of plug-ins in a music prodution, we prefer using high-end external hardware components. Solely software based audiosystem (daw´s) are not able to realise our vison of sound.

We prefer a combination of digita – and - analog technology. The Logic Pro 9 is a fascinating tool for any kind of editing, solving problems and creating music.

But the analog technique is still irreplaceable, to get a harmonic, warm and real unique sound. Tube compression, band saturation and high end class A equalizing are the main factors of our sonddesign.

In consequence we do not “bounce” a song in the mastering or mixdown process, but we record the music in realtime.
