Starter à la carte: Recording

An absolute necessity or a fresh start into every recording is the entrée. No matter if you rather have salad or simply soup and a nice glass of wine: we lay special emphasis on every recording from the very beginning. This is the foundation of the genuine die Tonmeisterei's sound. If possible soundcheck is taking the most of time, because the choice of ingredients is crucial. And since of that our pantry is refreshed and broadened with only the finest examples and exotics. After a well prepared stock the mixing is almost already done.
"Garcon, menu please!" The selection of amplifiers and speakers creates an exquisite buffet, on which you are more than welcome to feast.

Costs: 400 € per day Recording / Mixing / Mastering...

Side order: Re-Amping

You're committed hobby-chefs, but you're lacking some multiple saturated fatty acid to your wall of guitars? We've got several amplifiers an speakers ready to go and perfectly mic'd. Best is you name a reference-sound. All we need after that is a clean DI-guitar signal.

50 € per hour beats every amp modeling plug-in!

Main Course: Mix

You've already bought the ingredients - best case is you went to that nice organic grocery-store right around the corner with first choice ingredients. But how to make a meal of them? We're happy to help you out with our finest selection of herbs and all of our cooking expertise.

Costs, dependent on the amount of effort: 80-200 € per song

Dessert: Mastering

For the final closing we serve the ultimate sugarbomb or the rich fruit-dessert, wrapping up the lovely prepared dinner. Preferably you don't exaggerate in the mix, so it's still hungry for the mastering-dessert.

50 € per song Needless to say we'll prepare a fine little appetizer…

Dish-Washing: Guerilla-Recordings

You're searching for the ultimate thrill, or simply just a special location to capture recordings?

We're in, mate! No matter where - on the roof of a parking lot, in a holiday flat, or in an abandoned factory. Let's do it!
