Recording Process

1. Prepare the audio materials → 2. Set recording levels while warming up → 3. Record the performance

Estimated Studio Time

For one song with lead vocals only, 2 to 3 hours is typical.
If you also want to record harmonies and backing vocals, 3 to 4 hours is usually recommended.

Recording Style

We can work in whatever way suits you best, whether that means recording multiple takes and comping the best parts, punching in only the sections you want to redo, or recording section by section.

Mixing and Finishing

We also recommend pitch correction, mixing, and mastering by producer / engineer Yoichiro Ishino, who has extensive experience working with top musicians in Japan and abroad.
We are committed to delivering a polished, high-quality result.
You can view the profile of our producer / engineer, who has been featured in many music magazines, here.
