Services
Location Recording
We specialize in location recording services, focusing on capturing the sound of reality as accurately as possible. Be it a concert hall, a church, a rehearsal room, a studio, or even your living room, we will produce accurate and pleasant results. We use state-of-the-art equipment while adjusting our techniques to fit the instrument, genre, piece, and the room we are recording. We travel very light, and our recording equipment can fit on a simple tabletop.
Mixing & Mastering
We mix and master our recordings in-house, using our extensive digital and analog gear. We also accept standalone mixing and mastering projects that another recording engineer recorded. As a company policy, we master every track we record for free. Compared to many other companies, we do not utilize A.I. mastering tools, as mastering is a very personal process that can help elevate the good part of the track while attempting to adjust and fix certain aspects of the recording before publication.
Distribution
We utilize our partners in the music industry to publish your music on all the platforms you are familiar with. On top of this, we are able to publish classical music on all the major classical music streaming services, such as IDAGIO and Apple Music Classical. Our classical publications are also available in China, exposing your music to a much bigger audience.
Orchestration, transcription, arrangements, and accompanists
Through our extensive partnership with Philadelphia String Quartet, we are able to provide you with award-winning musicians for your recordings. We are also able to provide you with transcriptions and arrangements of your favorite songs. If you would like to perform a concerto with a full or chamber orchestra, please let us know and we will arrange your requests.
Archival Recordings
Archival recordings are recordings made to archive the performances or speeches rather than publish them. These recordings are made with minimal equipment and only one or two microphones. The quality of these recordings will be less than those recorded for publishing. Still, they come at a much lower price (usually half or even less). They are meant to be visited later for educational or historical purposes. On top of audio recordings, we can also provide a simple camera setup to capture the video of the performance.
Podcast Production
Having a great quality audio production from the first episode can result in higher audience retention rates. This is why for a one time fee, we consult you on the equipment you need to purchase to have the best sounding podcast. We will also set up the equipment for you, walk you through on how to use them, and of course assist with the post-production work. This is a one-time service with a one-time fee, but we can also mix your episode if you want.
Audiobook Recordings
Audiobooks have specific requirements in both the audio quality and the characteristics of the recordings. To meet these requirements, we setup a recording studio at your house or office, capture the performance, edit it, and then publish on all major audiobook retailers. The equipment used for these productions is minimal and the process is very simple.
Live Sound
We have extensive experience in live sound. We frequently work with local and traveling band, and houses of worship to setup and manage their live sound. We can provide all the equipment needed for a band to perform, but we can also manage the band's own equipment. This service can be booked for a single event, or for an ongoing tour/series of performances.
Vocal Capture
Conferences, meetings, and panel discussions might want to have recordings made. These recordings also require fully remote and wireless equipment, multiple layers of fail-safe systems, and clean microphones. We can provide handheld microphones, microphones on stands, or lavalier microphones to accommodate various venues and events.
Label
Rocky Rhythms also serves as a label for the musicians we record. Unlike many big labels, we do not sign long-term contracts or own your master tracks. We will help you with publishing, distributing, and marketing only for a nominal fee taken from your streaming revenue.
