Audio Recording / Producing:

You may also hire both Alex Oliver (leader of Poppermost pop rock band) and myself, who are the TriPops production duo, to help you write and record your own music at your location or ours, or we can write custom music for you.  Music production pricing is $50 to $100 per hour depending on what you require, plus studio charges.

I offer a professional sound engineer / producer (me) and a 15" Apple MacBook Pro with Pro Tools LE multi-track software.  Recording 1 stereo track or 2 mono tracks at a time through an Mbox audio interface with Focusrite preamps, up to 32 tracks total.  I can also record a total of 8 analog tracks at a time on a Tascam 688 cassette 8-track mixer / recorder with 10 mic inputs and 10 line inputs (but I don't use that for recording much anymore).  Mics include Shure SM57 (2), SM58 (2), SM81 (2), classic 55S, and 585 (2); and also a classic Electro Voice 667A; with mic stands and 100' mic snake.  

Mix down to computer, MP3, CD, DVD.  Studio monitoring is by a JBL stereo sound system consisting of 10" 3-way speakers with 15" subs, and a Carver 700 watt power amp.  Studio or location monitoring is also by Sennheiser open and Sony closed headphones.  I use Apple Macintosh computers: MacBook Pro, 2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB hard drive, DVD / CD burner.  Mac G4, 500 MHz, 384 MB RAM, 27 GB hard drive, DVD-RAM, Zip, with ViewSonic Graphic Series 18" monitor.  I have over 1 TB of external hard drive space.  And I have high speed internet.
