Send us your audio tracks and Garfield will give them the treatment for which he's made his name as a producer.
Provide a rough mix to guide us on the general balance you're looking for and a reference track if there is another song out there you know you'd like to sound like. Or just let us use all our knowledge and experience to make the best of your work.
Once you've had chance to listen to your mix you can let us know anything you're not happy with, at which point we'll make the tweaks necessary.
All Pro Mix packages include a mastered mix ready to burn to CD, a hi-resolution MP3 version and 24 bit unMastered mix.
Often described as 'The Money', the lead vocal on your new track is ultimately what listeners will focus on most closely. For this reason modern producers will spend a large proportion of their time honing the vocal performance by addressing timing, pitching, EQ and level issues inherent in an unprocessed vocal recording.
Using state-of-the-art tools, the VocalPro Package brings together all these techniques in one affordable package.
For many solo or self-producing artists, the difficulties of finding and recording a great live drummer is often the one missing ingredient to their latest masterpiece.
Whilst modern samplers can provide huge libraries of drum sounds, when you need a truly great drum feel there's only one thing for it... A great drummer!
Provide RoofTent Online with your demo and some guidance of the style of play you want (or just let our pros bring their skills!), and we'll return you a comprehensive, multi-tracked drum part including multiple snare and kick drum mics, stereo overheads and even ambient microphones to capture the sound of the room.
On top of a professionally performed drum part (Drum Track Live), we'll also mix your kit to your specification or one we feel suits your style.
