Band Packages

Band Package #1  "Live In the Studio"


This package is a "live" in the studio recording of 2 songs including 3 hours of setup, 3 hours of recording time, 4 hours to mix your project and 1 hour for mastering. All recording is done using our Pyramix hard disk recording system, or our Sony APR-24. The final mixed songs are mastered to CD and ready for duplication.

How it works
You may use your own drums, or our Tama drum set tuned and ready to record. The guitar players need their guitars, efx pedals and amps. Bass guitar is recorded direct using a Millennia STT-1 tube recording channel, or your amp can be miked. If your band has a keyboard player, or DJ, they will only need their instrument. We do the rest. All vocals are recorded live at the same time. After recording, your project is mixed and the final CD will be ready for pick-up in a few days. The CD face is printed with your band’s name and the names of your songs.

Extra master printed CDs are available at $5.00 each.

All recorded tracks are backed up and saved for 90 days, so you can come back and do more if you like. Copies can be provided as .wav files on CDs or DVDs at an additional $60.00 for 2 songs and $120.00 for 5 to 12 songs.

Vocal Demo Packages
Paradoxx Sound can produce vocal demos to fit almost any budget. Demos made using karaoke CDs sound the best. We can also use cassette tapes, however the sound quality is not as good and there is tape hiss to deal with.

Using a karaoke CD as a starting point, we transfer your music tracks to our Pyramix digital audio workstation. Then we set up several microphones and check the sound to find the best microphone for your voice. After the levels are set and the best microphone has been selected, we run through the first song a few times to determine the best method for your vocal style. Some singers like to sing through the whole song, others may like to do a section at a time. We can spend as much time as you like to get the best possible results. With our Pyramix system we can edit several takes together to get your best performance. This saves you time and money.

Using a cassette tape for your music follows the same process with one exception. After recording the music to our system, we need to evaluate the level of noise and hiss. If you feel the noise level is too high, we can remove it at an extra cost.

After mixing, we adjust overall level and apply final EQ. Then we produce the master CD and print your name and the names of your songs on the CD face.
