Thank you for expressing your interest in Rockitdog Sound Productions. We hope that this brief studio presentation will give you a better idea of who we are and where were coming from.
Rockitdog sound productions was formed by Richard Harriman and Sharn Downing in 2004 as a Cape Town recording studio focusing on the marketable end of the sound industry, providing professional high quality recordings, be it a seven piece band or documentary voiceover. Both Richard and Sharn come from highly technical and creative backgrounds, and are constantly striving for originality and versatility. A lot of hard work has taken place over the past few years to develop our abilities in this industry but our dedication to the work we love has eventualised into a place we can call our own, this place is Rockitdog.
The studio itself has been designed to be a creative and comfortable environment, being fortunate enough to have some of the best tools in the industry at our fingertips has proven to be a great advantage. The Protools based studio is capable of mutitracking 16 instruments at a time on record with up to 48 channels on mix down. High quality outboard allows us to have high end control of EFX and dynamic processors. And professional acoustic design allows us to provide an accurate mix. We have also fitted some the most widely used creative toys in the industry (Access Virus, Lexicon, Juno, dBx, Vox, Dynaudio acoustics, Antares ) Apart from that we have one hell of a guitar collection. With an Impressive vocal front-end provided by Neumann Mics and focusrite micpres we can also provide the best of quality vocal recording. We are also currently fitting a 16 track analoge system to provide the best of both worlds in a synchronised analoge/digital hybrid environment.For an in depth breakdown of the 3X studios equipment visit the website.
As the Rockitdog team we are ready to tackle any brief, and are confidant that the versatility of our team will be able to provide you with the best possible production for your budget. Original music for Original people. With a fresh ambitious approach we trust our team can provide a professional and dynamic production on time and without hitch.
Thank you for taking the time to read this brief presentation.
