recording

dudes versus engineers

Okay, yes, digital recording on your laptop is amazing. BUT: there’s a huge difference between “a dude I know who has ProTools” and a technically brilliant producer/audio engineer with twenty years experience who works in ProTools HD in a studio crammed full of classic analog gear.

 

The first is an amateur and the latter is Michael Woodrum.

 

There’s nothing wrong with recording yourself at home – if you don’t mind taking twenty years to learn what Michael Woodrum already knows about capturing and engineering sound. But if you’d rather be an artist and play music while an expert records it, contact Michael Woodrum. You dream, you play, you create. Michael will take care of the rest.

home versus studio

Bedroom studios are great but today’s best music is still recorded in studios for a simple reason – studios are designed to capture sound, not sleep.

 

Michael Woodrum’s SoundMoves Studio, newly located in the heart of Burbank’s Media District, has been tweaked to perfection by sound designers. You’ll record vocals in an iso-booth, not your friend’s bathroom. You’ll hear the vocal you’ve dreamed of – without overdubs by the neighbor’s dog.

control room

Ever taken a demo mixed in your bedroom out to the car for a listen? Did you wonder why the bass was huge and the vocals dull? Hmmmm. It sounded different when you listened in the house, right?

 

Listening to your recording is the easiest part of the recording process to take for granted. You record something and you listen back to it. Simple. Not really. Everything effects the sound when it’s played back – where you sit, the speakers, the amps, the board, the shape of the room. The control room is called “the control room” for a great reason. It’s where you control the sound of your music.

 

Michael Woodrum’s control room at SoundMoves Studio is acoustically treated for ultimate accuracy. What you hear is what you get.

When you take a mix out to the car, you won’t get fooled again.

live rooms

SoundMoves has three isolated, soundproofed rooms. That means the singing on your vocal track won’t mysteriously contain drums and the cymbals on your drum tracks won’t feature the distant buzzing of guitars. Nice, right?

 

Whether you’re a solo artist or a full band recording simultaneously, SoundMoves Studio can handle all the instruments separately and bring your sound together in perfect shape.
