Recording:
Roy
Rendahl
specializes
in stereo and multitrack audio recording on location or at my small
studio in Las Vegas using Pro Tools LE 7 through an Mbox (with
Focusrite preamps) into a portable Apple MacBook Pro laptop
computer. Recording 1 stereo track or 2 mono tracks at a
time, I can build up to 32 total tracks. I usually record at
24 bits and 44.1 kHz sample rate, and dither down to 16 bits for CD or
MP3
distribution. I can also record at 48 kHz too.
Music
genres that I work with are singer-songwriter, folk, classical,
jazz, pop, light
rock, and spoken word.
Monitoring
in my treated room is
through a stereo 15" JBL four-way speaker system with 700 watt Carver
power amp, and also through Shure SRH840 professional monitoring
headphones. Talent monitoring is with Sony MDR-7506 and Koss
Pro /
4AAA Plus headphones.
I also have the capability to combine up to 10 mic signals and
10 line signals to stereo for recording into 2 channels in Pro
Tools (although I don't
have room for very many instruments and performers).
I can mix my tracks, or your tracks recorded elsewhere, in my
studio for the same studio pricing of $25 per
hour. Contact
me to see if I'm able to import your tracks' format into my system.
Full payment is
required before the release of any material or
files. I accept cash or checks; or credit cards through
PayPal.
Your finished mono or stereo audio files can be provided to you as
AIFF, WAV, MP3 or AAC (with ID3 tags), Pro Tools, and other computer
sound files; or on CD or DVD.
You may
also hire both
Alex Oliver (leader of Poppermost pop rock band) and myself, who are
the TriPops
Music Production Service, to help you write and
record your own music at your location or ours; or we can write custom
music
for your advertising, and film or video needs.
Mics available include Shure: 2) SM58 cardioid vocal mics, 2) SM57
cardioid instrument mics, 2) SM81 cardioid studio condensor mics, 1)
SM11 wired omnidirectional dynamic lavalier mic, 1) 55S Unidyne
classic "Elvis" unidirectional dynamic '50s-'60s vintage; and
Electro-Voice: 1) PL80a cardioid vocal mic, and 1) 667A classic
broadcast studio dynamic cardioid mic with shock mount '60s-'70s
vintage.
I have a power conditioner and voltage regulator on the studio
electric power, with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery
backup powering my external hard drives.
Please see my Video
page for any small location video production needs you may
have. And see my Graphics
page for any graphics, photography, or marketing needs you may have.
Roy Rendahl also plays a Fender Jazz bass guitar with a Gallien-Kruger
100 watt 12" studio / small stage bass amp or 700 watt Carver power
amp with 15" JBL large stage system.
Music Mastering:
For
the final
polish to your sound, Roy Rendahl uses iZotope Ozone professional
mastering program on an Apple MacBook Pro computer.
Music
genres that I work with are singer-songwriter, folk, classical,
jazz, pop, light
rock, and spoken word.
I am happy to do a free partial-song sample mastering of your music so
you
can see how I can make you sound the best you can.
My Ozone
mastering program combines 7 mastering processors into one complete
system, giving your mixes a finished, full, and professional
sound. Ozone's critically acclaimed IRC Loudness Maximizer
gives you commercial volume and fullness without distorting or coloring
your mix. An 8-band Paragraphic EQ combines linear phase
precision with the warmth and character of analog equalizers.
And Multiband Dynamics, Harmonic Exciter, Mastering Reverb, and Stereo
Imaging tools add depth and polish to your music.
Monitoring in my treated room is through an equalized stereo 15" JBL
4-way speaker system with 700 watt Carver power amp, and also through
Shure SRH840 professional monitoring headphones.
I have
a power conditioner and voltage regulator on the studio
electric power, with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery
backup powering my external hard drives.
Formats:
We can accept and
convert mono or stereo audio as AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAC, Pro Tools, or
other computer sound files at up to 16 or 24 bits and up to 44.1 or 48
kHs sample rate; or on CD, DVD, VHS tape, stereo cassette, multitrack
cassette, DAT (my DAT machine is
temperamental but I have usually been able to get it to work eventually), or 1/4" stereo reel-to-reel
tape at 7 1/2 or 3 3/4 IPS speeds
on up to 7" reels. (Many older reel-to-reel tapes need baking
at about
125˚ to 130˚F for 8+ hours in order to play back properly.
Older
cassettes occasionally may need baking but more likely they might need
lubrication of the tape inside the cassette shell. We can do
both of
these, but there is still no guarrantee that the tapes will play
correctly.)
We can provide your mastered mono or stereo audio as
AIFF, WAV, MP3 or AAC (with ID3 tags), Pro Tools, or other
computer
sound files (at 16 or 24 bit at 44.1 or 48 kHs sample rate); or on CD
or DVD.
