Recording - Mixing - Mastering
I started recording drums for my bands as well as other projects 15 years ago.
As I got deeper into the recording process, I also started to make my first mixes. After mixing and mastering all music of my band Jacobs Moor and Elephants In Paradise's debut album, I got requests from other bands.
I recorded the last two Holy Moly Jazzband Deluxe albums with my mobile setup in their rehearsal room. Afterwards we recorded the vocals in my studio. I mixed and mastered both albums, "Let There Be Jazz" was also released on Vinyl.
I am also proud of mixing and mastering Manhattan Century's deput EP "Ape". At the moment we are working on the 2nd EP.
Besides that I am also working on new music by Jacobs Moor.
I can record small groups of up to 4 musicians in my studio and I have a vocal booth. In my studio I mainly record drums, which is my speciality.
For larger bands it is possible to rent bigger rooms and I have a mobile setup and can come to your rehearsal room to record your band.
Of course you can also book me just for mixing (including editing, also vocal tuning if needed) or mastering, please contact me under rainer.lidauer@gmx.at
