Taylor Swift In Studio A....well, sort of.

Staff engineer, Kellogg Boynton, recently recorded the UCSD Tritones in Studio A for Taylor Swift’s performance track at the 2010 ACM Awards where she won “Album of the Year” for her latest release “Fearless.” The Tritones were in studio live while Taylor and her producer, Nathan Chapman, listened in and made suggestions via ISDN. Kellogg then mixed the choir recording into previously recorded tracks and did some additional audio sweetening. Taylor’s production team was so impressed with our studio and with Kellogg that they invited him to attend the dress rehearsal and performance in Las Vegas on April 18th.

Ironman Game Trailer Mixed In 5.1 Surround Sound

The 5.1 sound design and mix for Sega's "Iron Man 2" Game Trailer was completed last month by Studio West. Starting from scratch, with only dialog supplied from the mocap stage, our sound design team produced the music, sound design and 5.1 mix for this 2:30 game trailer. We worked with this same animation studio last year to do 17 minutes of in-game cutscene for Volition's "Red Faction 2", and we're happy that they continue to call on us! Sound design was completed by Brandon Papsidero while Gary Miranda handled all scoring and the final mix.

10/20/09 Happenings

Local band Seenless, completed their second record here at Studiowest in Studio A. San Diego local, Larry Robinson stopped by to do one tune with his musical son, Evan Robinson (War Stories) and James Woodard came in to mix music into the soundtrack for his children's book, "When Rebecca Woogie Came to Town,"  a very cute story about a young girl who discovers she can play music and is a "cool cat with crazy fingers."

Studio C has seen the likes of Richard Thomas for Mercedes, Doris Roberts (Everyboddy Loves Raymond)for her movie "Another Harvest Moon" , Emily Gray for Nickolodean, and pro skater Chad Bartie for X Games.

6/30/09 Happy 4th of July from Studiowest! The summer is rockin' so far!

Local singer/songwriter Paul Cannon finished his latest EP. SD band, My Family, locked out days to complete their full record release.
