WHAT YOU NEED IS WHAT YOU GET

You can find hereunder, solutions that will be compatible with your budget and needs.
Premium to any pre agreement with the client, we offer the following:
Basic event: 300$

In this package, we will come in and record your event direct to the computer workstation with two high quality microphones and preamps. From there, a CD will be burned and delivered to the client. For the basic package, no editing or mastering is included.
Post production on events will add the final "polish" to your recording. We take your event recording and edit the spacing between pieces, add ambience (reverb) when necessary, and do a full mastering job on your recording. Amount of 100$ is added.
Premium event: starting 500$

The premium event refers to setups that require multiple microphones. The use of multiple microphones enables us to have more control over the sound of the mix, this is very important to create a good sounding recording. All multi microphones events are recorded in a multitrack format and brought back to the studio for a full post production job. This includes any remixing/rebalancing that is necessary, editing, and mastering.
Depending on the particular needs of the client, we can also supply sound reinforcement services for an additional cost.
Recording Sessions: 50$/hour (2 hour minimum) or a package deal upon agreement with the client.

Sessions are recorded on site at any scene the artist chooses. The set up for these is usually similar to premium events. These sessions are for demo tapes, auditions, and CD projects (large or small). Multitrack recording sessions at some full service recording studios are also available, but they will incur additional fees, Amount of 100$ is added for mastering
Editing and Mastering of your event or recording session is available. Work is done on computer based digital audio workstations. We have the capability to handle just about any format from 16 bit DAT, cassette, 2-channel ¼ inch analog (DBX noise reduction, Dolby A and SR), and others. Please note, because of the proliferation of audio formats, rentals of playback gear may be required. If this is the case, additional costs will be incurred. Please contact us for details.

Mixing Projects: 50$/hour

Do you have a project that was recorded by somebody else that you need it mixed? We are capable of mixing your tracks. In our studio, we use the Sequoia/Samplitude Workstations softwares for doing fully automated mixes. We are currently equipped with plugins by TC Electronics, Sony, UAD, Waves, Magix and others. We can accept projects started in just about any format, bit rate and sample rate from Pro Tools and Digital Performer to Sonic Solutions, and others.
3rd Ear Group is experienced at mixing in both stereo and surround formats. Inquire for instructions on the technical needs for your project.

Multi Track Projects:
It is possible to bring in a variety of multi-track recorders for events and recording sessions. 3rd Ear Group usually records any performance on to a high-end Digital Audio Workstation in a multitrack format. For larger projects (over 16 tracks needed), stand-alone systems can be brought in.
We record multitrack to allow for the highest possible quality of your finished product. The mix achieved in an event or recording session will sound very good. However, it is rare that it is impossible to improve the quality through additional work. Multitrack recording allows the artist to remix something that has been recorded and correct any deficiencies he/she may hear. With a strictly stereo recording, this is not possible.

Audio Restoration:
At 3rd Ear Group, we have extensive experience with restoration of old recordings. If you have a cassette, reel to reel, or a similar old recording, we can remove noise (hiss) and other distractions from the sound. Please note, while we can clean up much of the garbage in the sound, CDs do reveal the limitations of the master tape. Projects will be priced on an individual basis, however hourly rates start at 50$/hour.
