Editing
One of the key parts of a good track is a tight mix.
We have access to editing software which enables
us to finely tune your performance whether it be
on timing or pitch, if required. Programs such
as Melodyne for that perfect 4 part harmony chorus
or Multi-Track Beat Detective (Pro-Tools) for tightening
up even the tightest of drum performances give
us editing capabilities of that usually only found
in major recording studios. Having a mix that has
been professionally edited is the corner stone
of any good track.

to ensure the maximum is made from your recordings.
The Altwood facilities include a Colman TB4 MKII
Monitoring Controller, 32-8 Mackie mixing desk
and a Mackie Universal Control whilst The Chapel

experts at isolating frequencies, balancing EQ,
filtering and mixing sounds to produce outstanding
