Audio capabilities
 
 
 

With so much emphasis on video these days, audio can quite often be overlooked. And yet it’s arguably the most important medium to consider. While people will often tolerate below par video, and will forgive errors on the printed page, there is something about poor audio that jars so badly on the ear as to make a video unwatchable or a podcast unlistenable.


I have been providing audio recording and sound reinforcement services for over 30 years. Do you have an old video that might still be useful if not for that 80s soundtrack and ropey narrative? Why not let me script and record a new voiceover and perhaps add more up to date music underneath. Or if you’ve toyed with the idea of recording regular podcasts or interviews, I can provide indoor and outdoor location sound recording services.


I have full recording studio facilities and comprehensive location recording options, from a simple hand-held four-track recorder, to a software-based multi-track, to a robust 24 track 24-bit hard disk system. Add to that a huge selection of industry standard microphones, and I can get excellent results every time, anywhere.


In addition I can offer full sound reinforcement services for presentations and conferences, with a selection of desktop, hand-held and tie clip conference microphones – both wired and wireless – and a PA system suitable for venues holding up to 400 people.
