Audio Editing
Our Studios are equipped with an array of excellent software tools above and beyond the already extraordinarily well equipped Pro Tools HD rigs in both our A and B control rooms. Additionally, we have a video editing suite, and other areas of our facility capable of tackling your editing requirements, and in some cases, depending on your needs, at reduced prices. We can handle note-by-note edits on classical music, comping and auto-tuning of vocals, and other types of individual instruments, or simply cleaning up your tracks such as editing a drum or bass part, or alternatively replacing certain instruments. The editing process is a logical step between tracking and mixing, and is often necessary. You can bring your project to Sound Pure Studios for our editing expertise and high-end tools, or we can edit your tracks as a logical part of our full suite of production services.

Studio Mastering Services and CD/DVD Duplication
Mastering
The term “mastering” is commonly misused, misunderstood, and misquoted. Mastering can and does mean a variety of things. The simple explanation is that it means taking a mixed recording and making it polished and ready for whatever medium it is designed to land on. This could be CD, DVD, MP3, YouTube, Television, Radio, etc. And, the process will differ slightly depending on the medium where you intend for your project to land.
While Sound Pure is not a specialized mastering-house, many of the necessary mastering processes can and do happen here. We have some of the greatest outboard analog mastering EQ’s and compressors available on the market, as well as one of the largest possible arrays of digital tools and plug-ins for endless automation, restoration, and whatever other processing will be needed for your project. We also possess the professional tools designed to produce compliant CD and DVD masters. The level of quality of our digital and analog tools do rival some of the top mastering facilities, and though we do not focus nor specialize in mastering, we can produce high quality results at very reasonable costs.
In some cases, however, where a higher budget is available, mastering at one of our affiliate purpose-built mastering studios is preferred, and of course you can always take it to any studio of your choosing. Sound Pure does have a short list of preferred mastering studios and respective engineers who continue to produce consistently high quality work for us, and who we consider to be operating at the top of their game. Because Sound Pure’s affiliate mastering houses do typically charge substantially more than Sound Pure for this work (since our mastering rates are the same as our overall studio rates), Sound Pure may present you with a less expensive but nevertheless good alternative for mastering your project.
While mastering is typically a service that we offer to in-house to our tracking/mixing studio clients, mastering is also available for those outside clients who are looking to improve on their finished, un-mastered mix, and produce a reliable and compliant source CD ready for mass-duplication at a lower cost than at a purpose-built mastering studio with a named engineer. We gladly welcome inquiries and questions about mastering, and whether or not you have the budget or need to have your project mastered in-house, or at one of our affiliate mastering studios.

Film Scoring, Sound Effects
In additional to tracking music, we can also record sound effects, and sync’d music for film.

On-Location Audio and HD-Video Recording
(“Remote Recording”)
While the Sound Pure Studios represents some of the finest studio acoustics available, some performances such as recitals, live concerts, organ concerts, choral and orchestral location performances, etc. simply can not utilize the benefits of a purpose-built recording studio. For these recordings, Sound Pure possesses remote-recording equipment that can be brought onto your specified location to record your performance in a space of your choosing.
The Sound Pure Studios array of fine microphones and other external audio recording equipment, as well as our video cameras, lights, etc. may be brought onto a remote location to achieve your desired recording, be it audio, video, or both. Our array of fine equipment and one or more of our talented engineers will do our best to make your recording the best it can be, regardless of the location that you choose.
We highly recommend discussing the pros and cons of the venue and recording approach that you are interested in pursuing with one of our seasoned experts, so that we may help you achieve the best possible results for your budget.
