Sessions Musicians
We have a number of very talented musicians on call to do session work. These are working musicians who know their stuff! Costs for their services are worked out between the client and the musician.

Duplication
We are glad to provide names of duplication houses that our clientele have had good experiences with. Also, we can dupe and label up to 30 CDs, usually for distribution as demos.

Storage and Back-up
Because we have return customers and because you just never know, we back up all project files to either dvd (4.7 gig capacity) disc and/or large capacity external hard drive. Files can be saved and archived in a wide variety of file formats, so that they can conceivably be taken to any other facility for future post production work.

SunSound Studios provides mobile recording services for all venues including club, concert, church, festival & more. Multi-track and stereo recordings are achieved utilizing compact, highest quality digital formats then edited and mastered to CD.
