Roy
Rendahl
specializes
in stereo and multitrack audio recording in my small 12’x24'
recording studio in Las Vegas using Pro Tools LE
through an Mbox (with
Focusrite preamps) into a portable Apple MacBook Pro
laptop
computer. Recording 1 stereo track or 2 mono tracks at a
time, I can build up to 32 total tracks. I usually record at
24 bits and 44.1 kHz sample rate, and dither down to 16 bits for
CD-quality WAV or AIF files, or
MP3
distribution. I can also record and work at 48 kHz which is
usually audio for video. I
also use
Audacity audio editing and recording program
for some special
tasks like noize reduction.
Music
genres that I work with are singer-songwriter, folk, classical,
jazz, pop, light
rock,
and advertising or audio book voice-overs.

I have a Tascam TA-1VP
vocal processor with Antares Auto-Tune if vocals need any pitch
correction. Knowing what key(s) the song is in helps with
this
process.
I have
a Furman power conditioner and voltage regulator on the studio
electric power, with an APC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery
backup powering my studio equipment.
I can mix my tracks, or your tracks
that were recorded elsewhere, in my
studio. Contact
me to see if I'm able to import your tracks' format into my system.
Full payment is
required before the release of any material or
files. I accept cash or checks; or credit cards only through
PayPal.
Your finished mono or stereo audio can be provided to you as
AIF, WAV, or MP3 (with optional ID3 tags) files.
You may
also hire both
Alex Oliver (Music Director of Poppermost pop rock band) and myself as TriPops
Music Production Service to help you write and
record your own music; or we can write custom
music
for your advertising, and film / video needs.

Roy Rendahl also plays a Fender Jazz bass guitar

Music Mastering:
For
the final
polish to your sound, Roy Rendahl uses iZotope Ozone
professional
mastering program on an Apple MacBook Pro computer
in my mastering
studio.
Music
genres that I work with are singer-songwriter, folk, classical,
jazz, pop, light
rock, and spoken word.
I am happy to do a free partial-song sample mastering of your music so
you
can see how I can make you sound the best you can.
My Ozone
mastering program combines 7 mastering processors in one complete
system, giving your mixes a finished, full, and professional
sound. Ozone's critically acclaimed IRC Loudness Maximizer
gives you commercial volume and fullness without distorting or coloring
your mix. An 8-band Paragraphic EQ combines linear phase
precision with the warmth and character of analog equalizers.
And Multiband Dynamics, Harmonic Exciter, Mastering Reverb, and Stereo
Imaging tools add depth and polish to your music.
Monitoring in my treated room is through an equalized stereo 10" JBL
three-way speaker system with two 600 watt Carver
power amp, and also
through Shure SRH1840
professional open back
headphones (mixing & mastering), Shure SRH1540
premium closed back headphones
(tracking & mixing), and Sennheiser HD425
open back headphones
(mix/master check).

a Furman power conditioner and voltage regulator on the studio
electric power, with an APC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery
backup powering my studio equipment.
Formats:
We can usually accept and
convert mono or stereo audio as AIF, WAV, MP3, AAC, or
other computer sound files at up to 16 or 24 bits and up to 44.1 or 48
kHs sample rate; or on CD, DVD, stereo cassette, or 1/4" stereo
reel-to-reel
tape at 7 1/2 or 3 3/4 IPS speeds
on up to 7" reels. (Some older reel-to-reel tapes need baking
at about
125˚F for 8+ hours in order to play back properly.
Older
cassettes occasionally may need baking but more likely they may need
lubrication of the tape inside the cassette shell. We can do
both of
these, but there is still no guarrantee that the tapes will play
correctly.)
We can provide your tracks or mixed or mastered mono or stereo audio as
AIF, WAV, or MP3 (with ID3 tags), or other
computer
sound files (at 16 or 24 bit at 44.1 or 48 kHs sample rate).
