A Little About Me:
I was probably 8 years old when I dubbed my first mix tape.
By 9, I was shooting video with a 15 pound Betamax camera, and editing with 2 VCR's. Fast forward to 2007, and I have evolved into a bona fide sonic & visional purveyor of the digital renaissance, working with and fulfilling the needs of large corporations, small businesses, loads of musicians & artists, and of course, the dude next door.
I strive to offer the highest quality, most affordable services found anywhere. I love what I do, and my greatest measurement of success is exceeding your expectations.
Feel free to send me a message if I can be of help
in any way. I'll promptly get back to you with personalized quotes, conatct info, and answers to any questions you may have.
**Be a pepper and check my blog**
for the latest news & specials, detailed information, testimonials, and other nuggets of wisdom & nonsense. That is, if I can get around to it. Finding free time these days is like trying to herd cats.
Duplication & Replication
From a short run of promo discs to a full blown retail ready product, your manufacturing needs are covered. Full color & four-color offset on-disc printing, inserts, covers, tray cards, jewel cases, DVD cases, slimlines, polyboxes, sleeves, bulk duplication, bulk printing, polywrap, assembly... the options are boundless, and the quality always meets and exceeds all industry standards.
Graphic Design
I create professional layouts for cd/dvd projects and other graphic design needs. I've held accounts with such companies as The Gap/Banana Republic, Capcom, New York Life, The Berkeley Jazz School, and many more.
Demo Reel • Video Editing & DVD Authoring
Take your video content to the next level with professional editing and custom DVD authoring. Turn home movies, training videos, band footage, even feature-length films into a spectacular DVD experience! Delight and astound your fans, your family, and your friends with a fully customized DVD slideshow/video montage of your band, your last vacation, your wedding... anything!
Audio Format Conversions
Click the play button under center screw
Wanna bring your audio into the 21 st century? I digitize all analog audio formats with outstanding results. For example, I use top-of-the-line Stanton turntables with Pro audiophile needles, through a 24-bit, 192kHz HD analog/digital converter, into an arsenal of the most up-to-date, sophisticated software on the market, all hooked up by gold-plated connectors & firewire. Yeah baby! And when it's time to burn a new master, it's going on authentic Taiyo Yuden discs, the longest-lasting, highest grade media on the planet.
