We do live recordings on location, up to 16 tracks, at 44.1kHz/16-bit (CD)
quality. We have a variety of microphones, from large-diaphragm to pencil
condensors, to suit any application.
We can edit, mix and master your own recording, either stereo or multitrack, to
give you a polished final product, or work with audio from a live recording we
engineer for you. Turn an "okay" performance into a "wow" performance through the miracle of
digital editing!
MelodicArts will take your recording and turn it into a full CD (mixing, masters,
artwork for your CD—the works). For artists whose music fits within our musical
mandate (we specialize primarily in live, improvisatory music in global, fusion
and jazz music traditions), we will gladly work out a profit-sharing arrangement
with you and release, promote and sell your recording through our recording label
and website. You too could become a MelodicArtist!
Laying out the artwork for a CD can be very complex, involving a need for
precision and a good eye for "what works." Let us create the print materials for
your next CD, customized to suit your tastes, incorporating your artwork and text.
We also create promotional materials (posters, business cards, logo design, etc.)
to help you further your career.
We can create a website for you from our templates or customized to suit
your needs and either host it for you on our servers or upload it to the server
of your choice. This can be either initial design work only, or we can continue
to update your site for you with event listings, promotional materials, etc. to
keep your business current. For MelodicArtists, we offer a basic promotional
webpage on our site as a way of promoting your recording and we handle online
sales for you.
Through our online sales page, MelodiCARTs, we can handle web sales for you,
taking payment by credit card through PayPal's secure servers. Customers can also print off an
order form and mail them in with a money order, certified or personal cheque. Our
sales page could include sample audio files of your music and would link to your
website for further information about you, your music and events. Whether you
are an independent artist or a MelodicArtist, online sales are critical to growing
your local and worldwide audience.
Through our computerized inventory system and warehousing, we can manage your
inventory on your behalf, shipping orders and ordering additional product as
necessary.
MelodicArts can create songbooks and other print publications, using your text
and content, customizing them to your requirements and target audience—whether
sheet music, a book of poetry, a calendar or a promotional package—limited only
by your imagination.
Do you create music by ear and yet wish to have it written down for others to
read? MelodicArts will do transcriptions for you from your recording, creating
anything from lead sheets to full scores, and give you a final, professional
print product. We can also take your handwritten music or other rough score,
typeset it and save it in all standard professional-level file formats for
delivery to other publishing houses.
Whether live-concert or promotional stills, black & white or colour, digital
or 35mm film, we can provide you with quality images. We also have on hand our
own catalogue of nature images from such diverse areas as the Pacific North-west,
Ireland, Maui, Arizona, and Mexico. Birds, plants, animals, and flowers. Wind,
water, rock, and fire. Looking for something in particular? Just ask us.
