AFFORDABLE RECORDING,
MIXING, AND MASTERING
with State of the Art Analog
and Digital technology to achieve the sound you want! This is a 96
kHz, 32 bit recording studio - best quality on earth.
Most reputable recording studios, like some of my friends, charge $50 an
hour, $35 for mixing, and $45 for mastering your work. Call me and
I'll tell you the value I give to your work that has a fair price for
all those combined, plus I play keyboards, bass guitar, lead and rhythm
guitar, and I'm a lead singer, and songwriter, so whatever needs help
with your music, I can do it. Your voice will be on key when you
get to your car. We might use an effect here or there to enhance
the interest in the song. It might lack bass guitar and I can
record it on the fly. Maybe another synth on your beat...
I'm a producer with 30 years experience. Now that type of value
you cannot get anywhere for the fair hourly price I accept. Most
musicians that come into a recording to do a part charge $100 to $150
for doing their part. I do the same right there for you for the
regular hourly charge.
Call 832-858-2096 now to talk to Tad.
This is Tad's work on Rap's own Seago's CD. All artwork is done by
scratch and is tailored around the artist's image and music. The
Logo, reporters, the Italian background, Seago's suit, the Title... The
songs were produced by Tad with Seago's help. A lot of this is magic
that cannot be reproduced again...
Here are songs by Seago and the Christian alternative rock band, Soultide
produced here....
How is the quality of the
sound?
RAP, R&B, GOSPEL, ROCK, COUNTRY, METAL, AND African
Pop Dance
with lyrics in French! This is Africa's new rising pop star, MATY and her producer, Armand.
CD REPLICATION
rates are the best value for
the buck. Instead of paying $1880 at Discmasters, you can get the
same top quality printing and CD manufacturing product for only $1493.00
per 1000 CD's through us at 4 panel brilliant color front and
inside panels, black and white in middle two panels. 3 spot color
on jewel
case and CD.
Companies sacrifice CD quality for lower prices. Flimsy, weak CD's means
lower prices. I wouldn't go any lower than my company. You
get what you pay for.
This thing done for expert
village was for those who wanted to make a recording studio at a very
low budget. There were a bunch of elitist jerks who slammed me for
this, and they bragged that they were hot stuff. It was insecure
and petty crap. We got a lot of little men running around in
Houston. Over 125,000 people saw my videos. Many agreed.
You be the judge. What I said was not the end alls of end alls,
but I did what I said I would and showed some people starting out how to
save money. Shame on those little boys...
PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED MUSIC VIDEOS!
I just finished producing a rock video done downtown with effects. The DVD
turned out great! Two songs are getting edited and produced to perfection
and the whole process
- HDV recording the scenes for two videos in one
full day (12 hours), transforming raw HD to Cineform Avi, adding and
editing the scenes, remixing the audio, rendering to DAR and finally
burning the DVD's took approximately 36 hours.
All rooms are separate. We have a 4-tom Tama Rockstar set with Pro Remo
heads, cobra double kick with nylon instead of chains. Brand new
Ziljian Armand Series hi hats, crash and ride. Sabians in the
background. A single kick for those who prefer... Audix D2 to D6
mics, with 57's and a good kick mic. Two condensers for overheads.
All set up, so you just walk in and sit right down... bring you snare if
you want.
Most of his clients rely on my creativity and ability to make
the songs better. - many recording engineers are not experts at singing
and pitch, so you can end up playing Russian roulette with your recording.
Tad will point out the mistakes and send you back recording until you get
a great take guaranteed! He has Antares Auto-Tune just in case.
Why I chose my equipment
I've used Pro Tools for seven years. With Pro Tools, you have to use Neve and/or SSL
to help warm it-which cost a fortune. Those who chose this direction are
expecting you to help pay for the loan. Then you have to fight to get
more out of Pro Tool's still digital, flat sound and limited
headroom. All these guys spend their last dollar and loan money on
expensive, proprietory Pro Tools only to experience a product that's ok.
Not the best, but ok. The next tier up above what most have, the
HD series and the alright Control 24 with lousy pre amps, is a lot of
money. People have to get used Pro Tools equipment off of Ebay and
the least they spend is $20,000 just to barely start off.
I Went with Nuendo. I was offered a teaching position at Port Arthur
College, and their curriculum consisted of Pro Tools and Nuendo.
So don't tell me Pro Tools is the Industry Standard, because it is not.
And if you keep on saying that you're going to turn into a Stepford
Wife. I utilize the best monitors most
other more expensive studios do not have, the Neumann U-87 vocal mic. Capitol Records uses this mic.
The $2000 each big Genelec Model 1031A Monitors are
the best! They are perfectly flat. No surprises when you get out to the
car. The Advents ($600) leave you with more midrange. Your vocals will be
louder when you get to your car! The JBL's($600) with their big bass
speaker leaves you with less bass when you walk out of that studio, the
Mackies ($900) are the next best thing but still does not come close to the big Genelec bad boys!
Call me (Tad Donley) at 832-858-2096 and come out to the studio, hear some
our work. You decide! Free drum setup time!
