The goal of Fox Music Recording
is to provide a high quality, reasonably priced service to musicians, teachers and students. Equipment has been carefully
chosen to produce pure, “audiophile” quality stereo recordings of acoustic music. In selecting equipment, part
of the goal has been to have a setup that is discreet and unobtrusive in live performance situations. Starting with a single
stereo microphone connected to a Class A mic preamplifier, the recording is done directly to a Pro Tools system. Additional
microphones can be added to the setup and recorded to separate tracks for mixing later.
In addition to live performance recording, Pro Tools allows recording
of multiple performances (or takes) and has extensive editing capabilities. If you would like to have a recording session
in a non-performance situation, it's possible to select sections from various takes and edit them together to create an optimal
performance.
After recording, Pro Tools is used to edit, mix and
master the recording for single or mass produced CDs.
Avid (formerly Digidesign) Pro Tools is the recording industry standard for the highest quality digital recording,
editing and mixing. As an authorized Pro Tools instructor, performers are assured of state of the art quality in production.
The basic rate for recording is $70 per hour, while editing, mixing and mastering are billed at $50 per
hour.

audition material on a limited budget.)
