We have a large catalog of pre-made beats of all genres including Hip/Hop, Rap, Pop, EDM, Country and Rock. If you are more into starting with a melody or idea that is stuck in your head and turning that into an actual beat or composition we can make you a track or album that is uniquely your sound from scratch.

Music Production

If you are a songwriter or lyricist but don’t sing or play any instruments or if you are a singer/songwriter looking for full band instrumentation we can help. Our team can take your idea no matter how early it is in development and help to create a full song or jingle or whatever your music needs are. We can chart the music, hire the musicians, and bring your ideas to life. Give us a call for more information and rates.

Mastering

Mastering is the final step in the music-making process and an important one - a necessity before releasing your music. This step ensures your project will be well represented in all forms of playback and is the final stage of equalization, compression, and limiting. Our Studio A was acoustically designed with mastering in mind. Our Ocean Way Audio HR3.5 Main Monitors, Audient console, and outboard gear in Indianapolis provide all the tools necessary for high-end mastering. We specialize in stereo mastering for Digital Distribution platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and others. Also, we master for vinyl records, CDs, and other media. If you wish to master for both Digital and Vinyl add $10 per song to the mastering price.
