Recording Engineering Services

Recording Engineering Overview

At Ralph Sutton Recording Engineering Services, my Los Angeles, CA based recording engineering service, I offer a wide range of services to help musicians, bands, artists, and producers create high-quality recordings. As an accomplished recording engineer, I use both Pro Tools and Analog Tape machines to capture the best possible sound. I’m skilled in both digital and analog signal processing, which allows me to enhance the sound of the recorded material during the recording and editing process. I closely monitor and adjust levels and sound quality during recording, and I save, edit, and organize the recorded audio files for easy access and retrieval.

For vocals, overdubs, horns, and string sessions, I focus on isolation, microphone selection, and placement, and capturing high-quality audio takes. I understand the importance of achieving the desired sound, which is why I use a combination of Pro Tools, Analog Tape machines, and external analog and digital signal processing to achieve a polished, artistic, high-end sound.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have a deep understanding of the creative process involved in making music. I work closely with my clients to understand their goals and preferences, and I tailor my services to meet their needs. As Ralph Sutton Recording Engineer, I’m passionate about helping artists achieve their creative goals, and I’m confident that I can help you create a recording that is marketable and will stand the test of time.
