WHY A REAL BAND?
One of a professional studio band's biggest benefits is its interaction. The involved musicians listen to the song they need to record - and within minutes there's plenty of ideas that stream out of everybody involved. Fasten your seatbelt while you see your song coming alive. Usually, our band crews need no more that three takes to nail the song - a great time saver in every production process. And the recording quality is just phenomenal.
WHAT ABOUT PROGRAMMING?
Depending on the music style, programming (rhythm, keyboards etc.) can be an option, although this variant is very time-consuming and sometimes frustrating. Sometimes, we like a combination of both the programming and the real band world, giving you a modern feel yet still some great live vibe from the band players. We run an maintain a huge sound library in many different genres, ready for your production.
