Pre-Planning
Pre-planning is a complementary service MPR provides for all new projects.
At a pre-planning meeting, we will discuss your goals as well as your budget so that you know exactly what to expect during the recording process. We’ll listen to your demo and offer professional opinions to point you in the right direction as well as introduce you to the best engineers, studios, producers and musicians for your project. At the pre-planning meeting, we will work together to draw up the blueprint for your vision.
Production
Having a producer working on your record from start to finish is always a good idea.
Consider a good producer a watchful eye focusing on the big picture. As the artist, you must constantly scrutinize your performance while the engineer must direct all of his attention to ensuring a high quality recording. The producer sees to it that no small detail slips through the cracks while also ensuring that your project remains true to your original concept and within the grasp of your prospective audience.
Recording
Capture your greatest performance with the highest quality recording technology.
Our producers and engineers guarantee that only your best takes make it through to the final product. At MPR we avoid the phrase “fix it in the mix” at all costs. We have an extensive network of studio musicians should you need them and our engineers have experience in a wide variety of genres so you can be certain your music will be perfectly suited to compete in its field.
Mixing
Making a full band sound great out of two speakers is not an easy task.
The mixing process is the way MPR makes the pieces of your project come together and fit perfectly. During mixing, we create an opportunity for you to polish your project and manipulate your recorded sound in a variety of ways. MPR can work with you to make your album sound just right through the use of equalization, compression, reverb and effects.
Mastering
Mastering an album not only brings your mixes to a commercially standard volume and balance, but also ties together individual songs into a larger, unified piece of art.
Mastering is one last chance to make your project everything you envisioned it to be. Good mastering can be the difference between a forgettable song and a powerful, attention grabbing hit. We at MPR understand that mastering is crucial to the final sound of a song or an entire album. Even rough demos can shine after a little bit of mastering.
MPR offers a free sample mastering on one of your songs. We know you will be amazed to hear the difference!
