Mixing

Where we creatively shape and optimize all elements of production and recording in order to have the best possible foundation for the mastering process!

Taking the raw materials generated in production to create an inspiring mixdown that meets the artists ultimate vision while making sure all important elements are in their right place so that further enhancement and optimization is possible in mastering is by no means a simple task.

Todays mixing sessions are no longer just the place for mixing in the traditional sense but also for making final decisions about adding to production. This is where the experience of the mixing engineer becomes a key aspect in project success.

Since the needs of clients vary greatly when it comes to mixing, where some would like a more traditional approach to the process while others are looking for assistance in finishing their productions so that mixing can do its job, please use the contact form and let us know what you need so we can come up with a plan that fits within your budget.

Production

Nothing is more inspiring than building a project from the ground up!

Nothing is more inspiring than building a project from the ground up and seeing it through to the end while giving it all the love and attention it needs during the process. Since every clients needs differ greatly when it comes to overseeing an entire production as you consider selecting and arranging songs, pre-production, recording etc.. a unique solution for every client is required.

Handling an entire production in a way that yields superb results while covering you for whatever may take place several years after everything is said and done, takes quite a bit more planning and preparation than just booking a studio.

To discuss a full production plan that includes all or select parts of the process such as pre-production, song writing, arranging, recording, editing, mixing and mastering, please use our contact page.

Additional Services


Editing

Editing is taking care of the groundwork!

It needs to be properly taken care of to fully realize the final production and can be a slow and painstaking process but has to be done right. Vocal Editing, Drum Editing and Clean-Up are what we expertise in and is one of the most important but also overlooked part of nearly every project that we see come through.

If you need assistance in any of these areas we are very happy to help you out.

Digital Archiving

We love Vintage, even Digital!

In case you have old digital formats laying around in the shape of ADAT, Alesis HD24, DAT, DA88, Mackie SDR or the likes we can migrate these for you into WAV-files without any generation or AD/DA converter loss. For ADAT's we can handle both Type I and Type II. If you have other formats laying around, just ask and we will try to accomodate your digital migration needs into a secure and future proof format.

"Plec is one of the Real Guys out there with infinite sonic knowledge. I searched high and low for someone with monumental, liberal musical ears who could treat my home-brewed music the right away, to really get under the skin of each strange tune. Needless to say, Plec pulled it off in a grand way!"

/ Mattias Eklundh
