Audio Recording Cleveland Ohio

The audio recording in Cleveland, Ohio, at Starsound Studios means the best quality possible. So what is the first step towards an excellent sounding record? It is an outstanding initial Multi-Track Recording that requires five ingredients. The first is microphone placement. It makes sure there is no sound bleeding between instruments. It also ensures that your device sounds like it does in the room on the recording. Secondly is a substantial pre-amplifier selection. A proper pre-amp can make all the difference between a good and a great sound. The third is an excellent analog-to-digital converter. A Good converter equals a great sound, while an average converter produces a dull sound. The fourth component of an impressive-sounding record is an acoustically treated room. The room should be the very first place you spend your money, without a doubt. Next is a pair of high-end speakers. Speakers in tandem within a treated room are what make a mix happen. Finally, an experienced engineer gives you the final ingredient.

Why does one studio have a better sound than another when you think about it? It is the engineer who makes the difference from one studio to another. Every studio has high-end gear. At Starsound Studios, we use high-definition audio converters. It also uses clean microphone pre-amps with an analog equalizer and compressor on every channel. Together they form a modern version of an analog console. We capture excellent sound using these digital and analog pieces of gear. Also, we have a wide selection of plug-ins and analog outboard gear. Singers and solo artists track their final vocals on our studio microphones to produce an aggressive radio sound. We have many vocal pre-amplifier choices to match singers to a tone. Our acoustically treated vocal booth is a vital cog in vocal music. The key is to know how this high-end gear works and, more importantly, how to use it. Also, the ability to apply it to your music is paramount.

Why Record With Us?

Let us look at a typical recording studio scenario. You receive a recording master. Usually, a studio would not tell you what the LUFS setting is. Pretend the setting is at -11 LUFS, perfect for SoundCloud. Our example has a 2 LUFS difference if you add your master to YouTube and a 3 LUFS difference if added to Spotify and Tidal—a whopping 5 LUFS difference to iTunes. One LUFS setting does not fit all social media platforms.

Our Recording Studio Cleveland, Ohio, web page is here to help. We make you multiple masters to fit all of these parameters. If you put a song that is too loud onto one of these platforms, the algorithm does not warn you. It just squashes all of your hard work into a pancake for it to match its platform. Why would you work so hard to perfect your recording to have a social media platform change it?

We have the solution. It takes more than the 3 hours you are calling to purchase. Call us and determine why we are the right choice to make your project shine.

Lets Talk Gear & Equipment

The gear we have is first class. Technical expertise is among the highest levels. Great equipment and professional knowledge are the ingredients of a fantastic recording. The ears and vision of the engineer are necessary components as well. The ability to see the song's final result is the mark of a true professional.

The engineer must hear what an instrument sounds like in a room. He must then translate it to the recording medium. In other words, he must alter an instrument's sound through microphones and recording gear to a computer. This step is the most vital. The trick is to capture the source correctly. Let us show you the correct way to record your music.

At Starsound Studios, we understand those complicated steps and try to get a recording right. There is no such thing as fixing it in the mix. An engineer must accurately capture the instrument sound, and the audio tracks will blend better because of that precision. Our philosophy is simple. Record correctly to mix less.

On a tight budget? We will work with you on making smaller monthly payments you can afford. That is why we offer partial payment through Stripe. But, for the amount of equipment and experience, you can't beat our recording studios.
