DIGITAL AUDIO SERVICES
After 26 years maintaining the IMAX sound system and recording studio
 at the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater and Science Center, I built my OWN studio
and can apply the same high quality tools and knowledge to your audio needs.
I currently do location and studio recording with a Digidesign Protools system
in a low pressure situation that will make you feel at home.

This work is done is at a very reasonable rate with a high quality prodution values.
I can provide sound system consultation and installation for large and small installations.

TOOLS
Digidesign 002 Protools system with DIGI 002 mixer with many Digi, Waves, and Native Instrument plug ins.
Bias Peak, Logic, Soundtrack Pro, Traction, DVD Studio Pro and quality keyboards provide such as the Hammond XK-2 and Yamaha P-90 88 key weighted keyboard provide an excellent collection of composition and performance tools.


Emu Vintage keys, Emu E6400 samplers and extensive orchestral library add depth to your sonic palette.
Studio includes sound effects collection, Leslie speaker, several reverbs, Behringer BCF 2000,
Alesis SR16 drum machine, theremin, kalimba, rain stick and other methods of vibrating air molecules!

In 1994, for the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center
I recorded and edited actor Patrick Stewart
for
the production entitled
"To Worlds Beyond".

Patrick Stewart is perhaps better known as Captain Jean Luc Piccard of the starship Enterprise.

I recorded and edited Spanish narrator Hector Molina for the Spanish version of
"To Worlds Beyond".

In Spanish the title is "Hacia Mundes Distantes"

I also worked on the sound track for the show entitled
"The Flying Blue Marble".
Although we planned for Monty Pythons Eric Idle to narrate the show,
we were unable to obtain his services,
and used a very good local narrator instead. Mark Mercury provided the music,
and I did the audio editing and mixing.
