Now, just added LASS (LA scoring strings), a great scoring library. Complete MIDI and scribe notation for scoring or performances of the sound tracks. In addition we have numerous sound and instrument libraries from Reason, Omnisphere, StormDrum-2, and acoustic libraries in all major stringed instruments. Analog synthesizers and samples dating back to the late 70's for the "retro" sound. Arranging all instruments along with producing "live" sessions recorded in other facilities.

And if you are in need of some of the country's top studio musicians, our sister studio, Cribworks Digital Audio in Austin, TX can bring you great "live" tracks to compliment any score or commercial project.

In sound design; Complete sound landscapes and atmospheres in SFX recording and spotting, Foley, ADR looping and re-recording, location SFX and atmosphere recording, dialog editing and cleaning and post production supervision as music supervisor/producer and post audio supervisor.

We can build your sound design from scratch, or work on just elememnts like dialog cleaning, ambient tones or special SFX that can't be sourced otherwise.

Mastering; When all or a portion of the sound design is completed we can work closely with your Archive team and get you all the proper deliverables for mastering DVD, broadcast Specs or for mastering CD sound tracks or album projects (Through Jerry Tubbs in Austin TX) or straight archiving for your distributor. We also store all the aspects and files of your project on Hard Drives so you always have a backup to your projects' sound.
