Design Costs
We are able to compose and record in many styles (see examples). Our main emphasis it to create a design that is powerful, imaginative and at the same time cohesive with the rest of the production. It is hard to put a fixed figure on a design, as it is dependent on many factors. At the moment our commissions fall in the range of £1000 - £2000. Generally we work to the budget available, so please contact us and discuss your requirements.
Delivery
We can provide sound files in any form at you want; mini-disc, CD, Qlab file, or anything else you care to throw at us. We strongly advise to use a computer based system running something like Qlab. We feel the benefits certainly make up for the initial extra expenditure.
- More complex designs.
- Not limited by the number of playback devices.
- More responsive; especially noticeable on a series of rapid short
spot
cues. - Not limited to the playback time available on either a mini-disc or CD.
- All levels, fades, cross-fades can be predetermined.
- Possibility to have one operator control both lighting and sound.
- The potential to link lighting cues to sound cues using MIDI Machine Control
- The potential to integrate video projection on the same computer.
- Speed up production process. Both in
tech
and afterwards with any amendments. - We can make amendments and post them on an FTP server for you to download.
- Mini-discs are on their way out.
We have sytems for hire (see below) if you do not have a suitable or spare computer and are not sure about the initial costs.
Editing and Compiling
Maybe you already have a sound design or have list of music and sound fx that you want to use. For editing we charge £35 per hour and £150 per day. The sound design for an average show takes 2 days to compile and edit, but again, please contact us to discuss your requirements so we can fix a price.
