About us

The crew

Our staff has been working in the music production business for 30 years. During this time, hundreds of film scores and various instrumental music have been recorded by our sound engineers. We have clients from all over the world. In Hungary in these studios you can work as if you were at a scoring stage in Hollywood – only at much less of an expense. Zoltán Kodály has made strong contributions to the field of music education in our country, this is why Hungary has become world famous in regards to the musicians. When you come to Budapest for the purpose of recording any type of music, you can be sure that you will always get professional musicians – whether you need only one pianist, or the whole symphonic orchestra. We can provide everything you may need: from concept, project planning, creating and editing your assets, to the final masters.

On all our recording sessions we have sound engineer, ProTools engineer and session producer in the technical room to help running the session as smooth as possible.

Feel free to contact us and get your quote today, so you will be able to calculate the final costs of your project!

Useful information

All you need to know for a successful recording session

Preparing right for a session helps you save time, which leads you to a cost efficient recording.

Technical hints for the score and parts:

  • always use bar numbers for each bar
  • keep track of the versions with numbering, not just in the filename but in the score as well
  • make sure the staves are not too small (easier reading help the players)
  • use the same instrument naming convention for all the cues

Technical hints for ProTools sessions:

  • always include 2 bars count-off in the tempo map before the orchestra should start to play
  • please deliver the sessions in 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz (if no other resolution is discussed before)
  • make sure that the audio files are not missing from the Audio files folder
  • name the backing tracks you would like us to play during the recording straightforward
  • check that the tempo map is 100% matches with the score

Backup:

  • We keep a safety copy of all the recorded material for 6 months.

  • If the cancellation of a booked session happens within 7-3 days to the recording date 50% of the budget should be paid, in case the cancellation is within 72 hours to the start of the session 100% of the budget cancellation fee occurs.
