RME PROJECT HAMMERFALL 9652 What more could a digital-based recording set-up ask for ? It adds nothing and takes nothing away from your original signal chain (sound). It handles ADAT Lightpipe at 26 physical channels in and 26 tracks out simultaneously (not to be confused with the UNLIMITED MIXING TRACKS we have available) .

Wherever - Whenever

Any and all of the gear I have is available for use by you. Unlike "big-timer" studios there is simply an hourly charge for use of the entire studio - no $30 reels of tape, no fees for the use of each piece of gear employed in the cutting of a track, etc...This PC based DAW is running on the freshest, fastest, and proven parts available.

Imagine the possibilities when you have a truly UNLIMITED number of sonic options.

For large recording space requirements we use remote rooms. Hotel rooms or conference rooms make for splendid "takedown" sessions. The project can be moved from "Base" to "Field" as desired.

Scenario: Record the drummer in a lava tube (just because you can). Mix-up drums and prepare further backing tracks back at studio. Move into Presidential Suite (or a remote coffee shack with electricity and a good catchment tank) for a few days of stellar vocal tracking sessions. Return to studio to assemble and produce.

44 Channel Mobile Takedowns

DAWKona utilizes the latest in virtual technology to give clients access to an enormous number of professional-grade FX , Processors, and Synthesizers. Simulated and "cloned" from the hardware units they work-like:

-Various synthesizers and samplers that can faithfully emulate organic instruments and electro-synths.
-Over 200 Delay and Modulation FX

-Mastering Suites for the finishing, broadcast-ready touches

If you've heard of it being done -we can do it too !
