Recording. Mixing. Composing. Vocal Coaching. Co-Writing. Music For Film. Live Events.

Senior producer/engineer Adam Sweeney has been recording, mixing, writing. and performing music for over 25 years.

 

Our in-house production studio is a comfortable space perfect for tracking small projects, cutting vocals, mixing and overdubs. For larger bands, we have working relationships with several larger studios in the Portland area where we can engineer your project.

 

We also provide sound design and custom music composition for independent films and commercials.

Production

We can produce most any style of music. We’ll help with your musical arrangements, co-writing, vocal and performance coaching, and finding pro studio musicians who vibe with your musical style. Our versatile collection of guitars, synths, drum machines, drums and percussion, and outboard pedals and fx are all available to keep us inspired and creating!

Recording

We’ve been tracking records for over 25 years. We can get great sounds in any room from basement setups to major recording studios. Our production studio in NE Portland has a pristine collection of mics, preamps, compressors, fx and outboard gear as well as a large collection of modern and vintage instruments. You’re going to sound amazing.

Mixing

We love mixing records! The heart of our mix setup is a vintage analog board—the legendary “Japaneve” Yamaha PM1000—and our SSL style TK Audio BC1-S Bus Compressor. We’ll mix your pro studio tracks to their fullest potential and punch up tracks you’ve recorded at home, warming up digital instruments with the magic of real transformers

Composition

Need custom music? We can compose and record music in most any style with fast turnaround times. Depending on the project, we’ll call on our large network of professional studio musicians or pull from a curated library of samples and digital instruments.

Music For Film

We love working with filmmakers on scoring and sound design. As filmmakers ourselves, we’re keenly aware of how the right score can heighten the emotional impact of a film. We also know how to mix and deliver audio stems for flexible use in editing and post-production.

Live Audio Recording

We’re equipped to record up to 12 channels of pristine multi-tracked audio for live videos, performances and events. We can also create punchy dynamic mixes from our live-tracked audio or from board recordings provided by clients and venues.
