tool-kit

 

In order to move, manipulate, document and examine the behavior of air movements we need some tools to work with. Our tool kit has four drawers: equipment, experience, knowledge and imagination.

 

This page contains a list of our gear and links to basic information about sound behavior, perception and manipulation. This is useful if one wishes to understand the nature of the services that we offer or just satisfy ones curiosity about the science behind music.

 

We mainly work in the digital domain although an old-fashioned analogue studio recording can also be arranged with help from our friends. Our working environment and selection of equipment is designed to cater for a variety of audio recordings and sound manipulation scenarios, to be portable and provide a fast and efficient work-flow with headroom for creativity and expansion. We are developing with the industry trends and constantly improving our selection of tools. No matter what is the scale of the production, we can organize great deals for hiring additional equipment .

 

Our work tools are as follows:

Microphones, musical instruments, external effects, MIDI controllers and sound effect libraries are also among our working tools when dealing with music production or sound mix for the moving image.

 

Finally, we believe, that the most useful tool is the human brain. We conduct our work relying on knowledge and guided by imagination.
knowledge comes from learning, we earned ours by going to study technical production and from experience in the field, but there are many ways to gain it. The idea of studying technical production was born from our love to music that also ignited great curiosity about what stands behind it. The internet and the such of you tube offers great ways to learn about the nature of things.

 

We collected some useful links that help to understand the behavior of sound, signal flow, digital and analogue and more..
