Services
k.o. recording-arts offer services in the areas of Recording, Editing, Mixdown, Mastering, Composition and Restoration / Digitization.
Recording:
The recording space offers optimized acoustics and all the prerequisites for professional recording, be it voice-, vocal- or instrumental recordings.
From a technical point of view, state of the art equipment guarantees the achievement of maximum quality.
The producer and recording cabins are connected via Talk-Back in order to allow fluent communication between the artist and the technician.
Editing:
Would you like to transform solo vocals into a choir or is the intonation of a vocalist not 100% accurate? Do you have a finished song, yet have to shorten its duration due to broadcast requirements?
Every problem bears an appropriate solution. Applying state of the art software and attention to detail k.o. recording-arts will meet all of your requirements.
Utilizing the infinite possibilities of digital technology we can eliminate all technical boundaries.
Mixdown:
We utilize a Digital Audio Workstation in connection with Nuendo software. We deliberately spare a mixing board due to the superiority of external pre-amps in comparison to pre-amps that are integrated into most mixing boards.
To achieve a maximum of flexibility and efficiency we blend the best of the analogue and digital world. Hereby we are able to combine the "warm" analogue sound and the infinite possibilities of digital technology in order to reach a superior end result.
In addition to industry standard effects, we achieve the best possible sound quality during mixdown by applying only high-end equipment, before entering the final phase - Mastering.
Mastering:
The most crucial step in the entire production process!
We apply analogue outboard equipment as well as plug-in effects that have been specifically designed for mastering in order to fine tune the overall stereo sum.
Maximized compression, maximum volume and a well balanced and transparent sound are our ultimate goal.
Composition:
Do you have a song idea, yet can not manage to come up with a suitable arrangement? You do not know which instruments harmonize and require multiple voices?
k.o. recording-arts will listen to your ideas and with our background in music theory, we will turn your vision into a reality.
Restoration / Digitization:
Everyone knows the problem - an old tape with your favourite music or an old recording of essential data has been damaged by time. Noise, drop outs or tape echoes are frequent symptoms.
Even though these symptoms can not always be entirely eliminated, it is still possible to significantly improve the overall sound quality. Once the source has been digitized most problems will not occur.
