ENTER THE ULTIMATE BAND COMPETITION
Wellcraft Music is pleased to announce the latest with our new “mix in the box” room. Adding a second mix room will allow us to have multiple projects on the go without the constant re-patching to mix mode. The new room “The Attic” will feature a Power Mac -Octo- Core 2.6 full with 32 channels of Euphonic Mix Control, with full moving fader automation. It also features a Quad Universal Audio Card with all plug-in authorizations. The room features KRK - Rokit 5 monitors with sub as well as Event 20/20 monitors powered by a Bryston 3 B. “The Attic”will be digitally connected to the existing control room as well the recording floor. Projects can now be recorded & mixed on either mix platform. While we believe a mix fusing analog with digital still offers a sonically better product, a mix in the box room will provide the ability for us to revisit total recall mixes & the ability to constantly adjust the mix until the artist & producer are happy.
In addition to our new mix room, “The Attic”, we are happy to add a commitment to web design & hosting. Another “monster” Mac partnered with Adobe Suite, offers the artists working with Wellcraft Music access to full web site & album design. Artists featured on the Wellcraft Music web site are offered full creative & web support.
The Wellcraft Music Group is also pleased to announce we have just finalized negotiations with Blue Saphire Music/Univeral. This new arrangement will provide artists an audience with Jeff Burns, President of Blue Sapphire & an oppurtunity for distribution of a finished product. We believe that a music company should offer more than just a studio.
