Recording is the process of capturing the sounds and ideas in your mind and soul into a medium that allows you to share it with the world. Recording can involve transferring electronic sounds and information typically called midi sequencing to capturing live instruments and vocals with microphones.

These sounds are usually recorded within a computer program such as Pro Tools, where they can be saved and replayed. There are many factors involved in capturing a quality sound that can be blended with other sounds to create a song. Some of these factors include a proper acoustic environment, professional quality equipment and well educated and experienced operators (engineers).

Hoodstar Studios blends all of these factors to supply you with the best facility available to record your ideas. Our studio was designed and built by industry professionals to create the perfect acoustical room. We only use tried and true professional recording equipment.

Mixing is the process of blending and combining the individual sounds captured during the recording phase into a stereo track for the public to hear and enjoy. This is the time where all the elements seamlessly meld together to become what you want the world to hear as your creative output.

Mixing is the musical step where equalizing, compressing, panning, level changes, effects, etc are added to create the aural tapestry that is your song. Just as in the recording process, the mixing process involves proper acoustics, equipment and engineers to create a quality product.

Hoodstar Studios mixing room have been designed and tuned to provide the engineer with a frequency correct working area. Without this type of tuned control room, it is extremely difficult to achieve an even mix that will translate across a variety of playback areas such as computers, cars, clubs and radio. We also use the latest equipment and software technology during mixing to optimize each sound.

All of these elements combine to bring your mix to the next level. And we always encourage your input and ideas. Our engineer welcomes your attendance at the mix. After all this is your song and we want the mix to be the vision you are hearing.
