ADR
The best possible match to your original location sound using both lavalier and shotgun mics, as well as an assortment of Neumanns. Our vocal booth can accommodate multiple actors and contains a 26" LCD TV for precise synchronization.
VOICE OVER AND NARRATIONCDM Sound Studios has three of the best voice-over rooms in the city. Large, comfortable and dead-quiet. Whether you're recording a single person narration or a multi-actor performance, you're guaranteed to leave with a finished product as clean and quiet as those of the largest, most expensive studios in New York. The difference: a more intimate and interactive experience at a fraction of the price. CDM Sound Studios offers the necessary tools: - 2 Neumann TLM 103s and 3 Neumann U87s
- Sony ECM-77B and MKH-416 Shotgun Mic for ADR
Record to Pro Tools 8 (Mac) or Sound Forge 10.0 and Vegas Pro 9.0 (PC)
- Record to 2 audio CDs simultaneously
- Extensive digital components and formats that ensure compatability with any other system
AUDIO POST
Using Pro Tools, Logic and Vegas Pro 8, we'll clean up less-than-ideal location sound with state-of-the-art noise-reduction of equalization tools. All formats supported for import and export.
SOUND DESIGN AND ORIGINAL COMPOSITION
Grammy Award winning Sound Design and music composition. Bring your production to life from our effects library of over 60,000 sound elements. Add original music and stings by Eric Willhelm, our staff composer.
MIXING
Grammy award winning mixing for Jon Stewart's "America: The Audiobook". Mix in either of our acoustically treated control rooms designed by FM Design (2006 Tec Award Winner).
MASTERING
CDM provides exceptional one-on-one mastering services.
While some other mastering houses impose their 'best judgment' by excluding you from the process, we value your input and make every effort to bring you in.
While we certainly have our opinions about what we think sounds good, we want you there to bounce ideas back and forth, helping us to work efficiently and focus on what's best for your unique project. We also encourage you to bring in other bands' CDs for comparison, both for listening levels and for equalization choices.
Our rates are very competitive and we guarantee our work.
RE-MASTERING
Digital recording and storage have clearly become the medium of choice in recent years. But if you're like us, you probably have a few of your favorite vinyls still lying around, or some reel-to-reels and DATs you want to save.
CDM Studios offers some of the most sophisticated remastering tools available not only to digitize your source material, but also to clean up and polish those old masters.
Among the tools we offer:
Digital Noise Reduction
Vinyl Restoration, including playback of 16" Transcription records and 78's
Click and Crackle removal tools
Manual redrawing of waveforms
Numerous storage formats: Hard Drive, DVD, CD
See our Digital Media Production page for details on file formats.
AUDIO BOOKS
CDM Studios knows spoken word recording. It's what we do day in and day out with the top publishing companies of the world. Our relaxed and intimate atmosphere allows you to do your work in a timely fashion, with rates that allow you to keep to your bottom line.
Said one visitor recently, "It's rare to come into a recording studio that really makes you feel like you want to work."
We are proud that companies such as Random House Audio, Simon and Schuster, Time Warner Audio and Harper Collins have helped us build a reputation for the highest caliber recording and editing in such a small niche market.
