STUDIOS
Mus Studios is a home music production studio based on digital recording/mixing equipment. Catering to singers, songwriters bands and solo-artists.
It relies on a DAW (digital audio workstation) for it's tracking, mixing and mastering processes.
As opposed to an anologue desk, tape and a plethora of outboard rack gear.
This does not limit the possibilities in terms of the sound that we are capable of achieving and in fact increases productivity and the ability to be creative in the process.
We also specialise in mobile/on location recording for bands, so your home/garage/jam space can become one of our studios!!!

Audio Interfaces
Presonus 1818vsl------Behringer ADA8000
The audio interfaces used by Mus Studios with their built in microphone pre amps are all designed to capture the nuances of sound with as much accuracy as is technologically possible. Thus the sound is not coloured before being commited to recording.
This allows us to work with our clients and use the entire pallet of colours to shape the recorded sound.
As Brandon from recoringreview.com says: "Yeah, I’ve owned a crapload of high end preamps. (Martech MSS-10, API 3124, Manley TNT, Vintech 1272, Focusrite ISA428, bla bla bla. Who cares!)"
"Dirty preamps and transformer-based preamps often screw up the top end on purpose (and sometimes the bottom end). Some prefer to work with that “color” from the beginning. (Don’t get me started on how f’ing stupid it is to pay $1k for one single color.)"
