TESTIMONIALS

"Victor Jay Liechty, Sr. is the father of 10 children and grandfather of 21 grandchildren. While raising his young family he would often sing fun children and spiritual songs that he learned during his young adulthood. These songs became a treasure to the family. In order to pass this piece of family history on to the next generation it was decided to have them recorded. Kawika with Heftel Studios was readily available to help with this project. Kawika is professional, musically knowledgable, and excellent at encouraging the artists so that the best takes are captured. As the family of Victor Jay Liechty, Sr. we are pleased with the recording as it captures our father's voice just as we remember it and yet is also a professional, excellent recording. This is a CD our family will treasure for years to come. Thank you Kawika and Heftel Studios!"

MUSIC

TRACKING

Come to Heftel Studios and record your songs. We can do anything from a simple acoustic demo to a full-fledged album with you and your band. We are uniquely set up to accomodate a cappella groups, but would love to do your audio project, no matter what it is!

EDITING

Record your song in one take or one hundred; we can mix and match pieces of different takes together to create your masterpiece.

PROCESSING

We can apply equalization, compression, expansion, gating, reverb, etc. to make your tracks sound good. We can even correct your pitch and timing so that you don't have to throw away that great take on the lead vocal because of one flat note.

MIXING

Mixing is the process of "mixing down" your song, which may consist of many recorded tracks, into a stereo file that can be burned to CD or turned into an MP3 so you can show it off to your buddies, family members, roommates, relationship prospects, etc. You can also bring in or upload sessions from another studio in ProTools 7 format (or send us some raw .WAV files) and we will mix them for you. If you don't understand what you just read, drop us a line and we'll explain your options in plain English.

MASTERING

This final step in the recording process gives your project a final coat of polish, making it ready for release on CD. We will equalize and balance all your tracks so that the entire album has a similar sound and volume level; we can also maximize the volume to really make it pump or leave in all of your dynamic nuances for a refined recording. We will give you a redbook-standard CD master suitable for submission to a duplication house so you can replicate your album as easily as possible and get your songs out there!

VIDEO

ORIGINAL MUSIC

Heftel Studios can compose original music for your video project. Tell us what style of music you want for the piece, and we'll have our in-house composers create, record, mix, and master original music to create the mood for your corporate video, promotional video, or full-length film! You provide the video or motion graphics, and we will compose the music around the cue points and timing in the video. This will make sure that we hit each cue exactly, emphasizing the emotion of the piece and driving your message home. We can deliver the finished product to you as a separate audio track or synchronized with the video in high quality Quicktime format. Contact us for a customized quote.
