Bootleg Sessions - Music Recording - Band Recording - Demo Recording CD Master

At ProCopy we’re conscious that the music industry is going through some challenging times so we’ve come up with some studio recording packages to help independent bands produce some demo tracks and output some CDs. We’ve called these recordings ourBootleg Sessions.

They’re intended to be quick “live” types of sessions but give flexibility depending on how far you want to go and what you want to produce as an end product.

Here’s how a typical session will go:
  • 1 Hour allowed to set up and sound check
  • 1 Hour to record a “set of Songs” like you’d play live
  • 1 Hour “Quick Mix” mix down songs for the CD master
  • 1/2 Hour CD master and output
  • 40 Slimline CD copies and 2-panel insert produced

You can take away the ProTools files and mix down further at home if required or you can spend more time in our control room to fine tune a couple of tracks if you want to at our normal mix down rates and produce another demo EP. Or you can spend more time on the CD mastering stage if your budget allows.

Pete Grandison, Studio Engineer
 +61 (0)8 9331 8051 | +61 (0)418 943 233
shanghaitwang@iinet.net.au



Shanghai Twang was built to be an extension of the musical personality of producer, musician, songwriter and recording/mix/mastering engineer Pete Grandison. It's got a bohemian, loungeroom feel with chinoiserie and bedouin chic styling. The studio is hidden within a warehouse, but is purpose-built with state-of-the-art acoustic design by the renowned John Sayers.

Despite its boutique style, the studio has four spacious, independently wired, airconditioned and isolated recording rooms, all with line of sight through glass doors and windows. This allows musicians to be recorded playing live together but still affords the chance to isolate sound sources for editing and sound shaping later. The control room is designed for critical listening - mixing and mastering - but is large enough to put a band in. There's kitchen, courtyard, and bathroom facilities and an upstairs lounge with seating and a viewing window into the live room below.
  


Equipment Includes:
Preamps by - API, Avalon, Drawmer, Metric Halo, M-Audio & Little Labs.
Outboard by - Empirical Labs, Metric Halo, Drawmer, Roland, Korg, Boss & Digitech.
Tape Machines - MCI JH-16 1 Inch 8 Track & Tascam dual cassette
Monitors by - Barefoot, JBL & Apple

Services Offered:
Mastering, Mixing, Recording, Music Production / Songwriting / Arrangement.

Clientele:
Eric Bibb, Jim Fisher, Kill Devil Hills, Lucky Oceans, Rachel and Henry Climb a Hill, Schvendes & Velvet Playboys.
