  Promotional Music DVDs / Music Videos

Need to promote your band to record companies or provide an extra revenue stream at gigs with "live" DVDs ?

We can film live performance's with multiple fixed and mobile cameras to capture the live action and produce quality live albums. We can add interviews with the band, location dubs, or mix in some 'green screen' work with advanced video effects to produce a great promo. We will work with you to create professional quality DVDs with high quality sound.

* Use the DVD version to help sell audio CD albums.
* generate extra revenue at gigs
* Promote your band in the best way possible.

We can take audio feeds from your mixing desk or supply all the sound equipment and PA system for the gig. We can record onto DAT, A-DAT or use hard disk recording technology to capture the live performance. We will then do a remix with you to recreate the live sound. We can also do a second mix with the video if necessary, to pull out specific instruments from closeup shots. For live performances we like to do a 5 channel Dolby Surround mix by adding ambient mic sound the back channels.

We can incorporate any existing video footage of the band, still images and existing audio tracks - you may want to dub against a pre-recorded audio track - no problem. We can create "lyric overlays" as subtitle tracks or use advanced titling to play a "lyrics only" video track. There are lots of creative options so contact us to discuss what you'd like to do.... we may be able to help get the Video on music TV channels too.

  Audio CD master production

Don’t have enough content for a DVD ? We can produce Audio CDs and Enhanced Audio CDs with video tracks, web pages and mp3 versions of the audio tracks – they play like normal CDs in your CD player, but when played on a computer you can access the extra content. We can also produce CD-TEXT Audio CDs which show the title/artist when played back in compatible CD players.

  Audio CD printing and duplication

Just want some CDs duplicating ? We have full disc duplication and printing facilities in-house for both CD and DVD in quantities from 1-1000 and can arrange replication services at great rates for larger quantities. We can produce your disc print artwork and sleeve artwork – or you can supply that yourselves. We supply black and white or full colour printed CD and DVD discs (on silver or white) plus full colour sleeve prints with a range of case styles to suit your requirements from clear c-shell cases to coloured double DVD cases with shrink wrap.

  Unsigned band showcase and exposure

We are always on the lookout for new music soundtracks for videos and webclips - especially from unsigned bands as this provides you with a fairly diverse and wide audience for your music.
All copyright remains with bands and full credits are given if any music is used. We usually add photos to our gallery and create some webpages to provide some extra exposure. Some of our clients like using unsigned band material since this removes the cost and delay of licensing music with the
MCPS.

You can send us copies of music on Audio CD or email us short MP3 samples or email us links to your website with samples. If we like it and can use it, then we will get in touch with you.

We can also help setup a website for you if you haven't one already, and provide hosting for streaming and downloadable MP3 samples of your music.

  Soundtrack creation

We have digital sound mixing facilities and can create custom music soundtracks for your media or use sources from our production music library or from unsigned bands who want the exposure. We have access to a number of great composers who record using a mixture of digital and real instruments to produce a wide variety of music for backgrounds, stings, overlays or complete music scores.

  Dolby Digital Encoding™

We have sent sample DVDs to Dolby Laboratories for compliance testing. and are licensed to create Dolby Digital ™ Audio tracks and use Dolby ™ trailers and logos for our DVD productions.

  Voice-over Artists

We have access to a number of Voice-over artists with voices to suit your production - showreels available on request. We can source additional voices as required.
