Music Creation

Writing a tune is only half the job....

At Hundred Colours, we take music very seriously. Writing a jingle or a tune is only half of the job. These days, with the demands of multi device output, audio needs to work on the widest range of devices ever, such as; phones, tablets,  cars, TV's, large sound systems, cinema, and theatres.

To do this, every piece of audio created is treated with a critical ear. We use a combination of state of the art digital tools alongside holy grail analog hardware including EMI Abbey Road Chandler Limited (Beatles gear), SSL, Neve, Manley Labs, Fairchild, Maselec, SPL Mastering along others. In fact, we work alongside the worlds leading audio software developers offering beta testing and user input. The music is treated and finalised by the same people behind the biggest hit records in the world such as Daft Punk, Pharrell, Robbie Williams, Hans Zimmer to name a few.

 

You see, the problem with today's industrial composers is that whilst they have been trained at university to compose, play keyboards and sequence music, when it comes to audio fidelity, the presented files are often flat and lifeless. It is shocking how poor some audio in today's entertainment, media and theatre actually is. Bedroom composers delivering to production houses without mixing and mastering processing...not on our watch!

Production

You can't just clock off...

Whether it be putting a large concert together or a documentary, we work until the job is done to the best that it can be. Our team believe in the work. We only work with people who take pride in what they do. 

We take a project from the initial idea, nurture, babysit and carry it to its end game. We don't just clock off when our job is done and leave the rest to chance. For theatre shows, we will attend as many shows as possible to ensure stage managers and in house engineers are capturing what we worked hard to create.

"With todays technology, there really isn't an excuse to sound awful!"

We take the audio for your project,  mix and master it for the format/formats of your choice. We believe that with todays technology, there really isn't an excuse to sound awful!

 

Whilst an audio file may sound good on one system, it will not necessarily sound good on others. This is where decades of audio engineering experience and expertise comes in. The audio will be balanced to work on any system, the low frequencies will be controlled yet punchy and dynamic, the mids will be clear (voices) and distinguishable and the highs will be free from sibilance.

  • We output at 32bit float 192hz

  • Mono to 7:2 Surround

  • We work in Avid, Pro Tools, Logic X, Abelton, Wavelab, Pyramix, Final Cut and Premiere.
