Vocal Recording

Once an instrumental track is ready for vocals, whether it was made by CTT Beats Studios, or not, the vocals can be recorded. A sound engineer/vocal producer will be provided and they will work along with the artist to get the best possible vocals recorded. A selection of vocal microphones and various recording equipment will be available for this process. Vocal recording is charged at an hourly rate, therefore it is up to the artist how much detail they want to go into. It is also in the artist’s interest to be well prepared.

Arranging

This refers to the actual structure or layout of a song or production. Sometimes a few small changes make a big difference.

Editing

This could be anything from small touchups or removing a few sounds from a song, to structural changes or timing adjustments.

Vocal Producing

This is when creative input is given to a vocal recording session such as harmonies, layers, ad-libs, melody changes and advice on improving vocal warm-ups and the delivery of the performance.

Mixing & Mastering

When a track has been fully “produced” and all the musical elements are in place, the final stage is mixing and mastering. This is often the difference between something sounding amateur or professional and is essential for platforms such as online stores Spotify, radio stations and television.

CTT Beats Studios can mix and master projects that were made elsewhere when separated audio is provided. That way each audio track can be individually tweaked. This could be for fully completed songs, or just instrumentals that are going to be used in a vocal recording session. Full finished tracks that are already professionally mixed but not yet mastered, can also be given to us as a completed mix down, for us to master.

 

 

Post Production

This is the creation of an original full song from start to finish. The starting point of these projects can be a demo song already written by the artist which is turned into a produced track according to a reference song/genre or idea that the artist has. Or, if the artist doesn’t have a song written, one can be created along with the studio’s composer and producers according to an idea or reference given. Alternatively, the studio composer and producers can create a track ahead of the session for the artist to then write lyrics to. Either way, once the foundation of the music production has been completed the artist can then work with the vocal producer and engineer to record the vocals. After this, final additions to the production, as well as mixing, mastering and referencing is done. The artist will leave with a completed song

Beat making

We have a professional beatmaker on site. The artist can explain to the producers what they want by telling us what they like, the type of beat based on a reference, or an idea they have for a beat. Depending on the style and genre, a producer will be allocated to that project according to their strengths and sound.

There is also a selection of pre-made exclusive and non-exclusive beats to choose from.

Once a beat is purchased, the artist may choose to do the vocal recording, mixing and mastering at CTT Beats Studios, or take the project elsewhere to be completed.

Film Scoring

For short, or feature-length films we can compose and produce original music to enhance the film. Our experienced composer would work alongside our producer and the director of the film to create a number of songs to be used for specific scenes. There would usually be consistency within these songs such as a recurring theme, instrumentation, style or genre
