Draft Tattoo
Draft Tattoo Production was set up in early 2006 as the production company for indie pop group qr5. The fledgling company executed every aspect of the production and promotion, which would eventually prepare them to help clients as they go through the same steps...
The state of the art of production is such that the home studio has become by far the most popular means of making music. Professional recording studios have become all but unnecessary to musicians with tighter budgets. We offer the the affordability of the home studio with one important bonus: space. With a 16x16 non-parallel walled acoustically engineered room, live recording is our specialty. If you need live tracks on your sequences or have a full band, we have the means and ability. Give Matthew a call at 416.839.8405 to discuss your budget and requirements, or check out our full package deals below.
