RECORDING AND MIXING
Crescendo! Studios has extensive experience providing recording and mixing services for radio, television, video, film, spoken word, multimedia, theater and the Internet. Whether a project is intended for broadcast, theatrical release, or DVD, we can deliver mixes in a variety of formats from 2-channel stereo through the latest Dolby matrix-encoded and discrete digital 5.1 surround sound formats.
ISDN
We are a member of the EDNET worldwide network of recording and post-production studios and are outfitted with the APT system, also fully compatible with 3D2 or Keystone. We can also "bridge" easily with other systems. Our expanded capacity of 12 lines gives us the ability to schedule multiple stereo and mono voice-over sessions in all studios and the central machine room simultaneously, offering our clients maximum booking flexibility.
LIBRARY MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS
In addition to our facility-wide networked sound effects library, we feature a large selection of music libraries, including APM/KPM, Killer Tracks, L.A. Production Music, Extreme Music, Who Did That Music, Opus I and Firstcom. Depending on the needs of the project, searches can be conducted before or during the mix session. We can lay off searches to CDR, DVD, and DAT or via electronic delivery (FTP or e-mail.)
ELECTRONIC DELIVERY
For approvals and file delivery, various audio formats can be uploaded to our secure FTP site or e-mailed for quick client retrieval. We keep each project up on our server for 3 days so that clients can direct others to their files as needed. For convenience, files can be kept on our server longer for a nominal charge.
DELIVERY FORMATS
The central machine room (CMR), at the heart of the studios, is equipped with Digital Betacam, D2, 3/4", VHS, DA88, Timecode DAT, CDR and audio cassettes for all duplication needs. High-quality or low-res DVDs of your project can be produced immediately after your session, as well as QuickTime movies, MP3, AIFF and .WAV files.
ORIGINAL MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN
In addition to library music and sound effects, Crescendo! Studios offers original music and sound design services through our subsidiary division, Resonante Music & Sound Design. For more information about Resonante, click here www.resonante.com.
CLIENT COMFORT
What sets us apart from other facilities is that we believe customer comfort and service are as important as the technical excellence of our facilities and staff. Therefore we maintain a full-time staff concierge who attends to any dining, transportation, hotel or office requests our clients may make. Our facility features a full kitchen and a fully-operational café with seating for up to thirty people. We are pleased to offer restaurant-catered meals, either in the café or while working in the studios, from a wide variety of nearby world-class restaurants. Continental breakfast is always set out for morning sessions and snacks are provided throughout the day. Parking is readily available.
VOICE TALENT CASTING
Crescendo! Studios and The Voice Factory come together to offer Voice Talent Casting, an online voice talent casting service. Our voice artists are screened, scrutinized and selected before being included in our searchable database. This ensures that you will be choosing from the very best voice talent in the San Francisco Bay Area. We offer several options, from listening to online voice talent demos to obtaining free auditions of your script. |
