Mount Tiger Studio draws on a big back catalogue from two continents in both old school analogue and “in the box” digital recording to make you sound goooooood!
TRACK LAYING
Track laying is “our thing” and and probably the most critical stage of a project. We have worked hard to create a relaxed and creative environment to encourage the best performance and capture it perfectly. Two recording areas plus extensive “in the control room” performance and recording spaces, 48 channels of world class Cadac analogue mixing desk, best in class Studer A827 2” analogue tape and/ or Ferrofish 64 input digital plus incredible Quested 212 main monitors and extensive audio and visual monitoring make it all happen effortlessly…together with heaps of natural light and gorgeous views out towards the Tutukaka coast
MIXING
There is no doubt mixing makes a huge difference to how your project turns out. We do this using the best of digital “in the box” tools (either Pro Tools or Logic Pro X and an arsenal of awesome plug ins) plus our incredibly open and detailed sounding Cadac mixing console (comparable to 1970’s Neve…maybe better!), two racks of outboard analogue rack processors monitoring through our fantastic Dynaudio M2 monitors and Avontone mix cubes.
MASTERING
The final part of the process, or can be a stand-alone service for work you have done elsewhere. Either way it is a totally essential and separate task designed to tease out the best possible sound from your mix, and ensure it translates to whatever format it will be listened on. Also essential is that your work stands out in the highly competitive world of sound bites bombarding us from everywhere, but without becoming an assault to your senses (unless that’s the intent!)
