Yes, we mix with our Amek Mozart Rupert Neve console utilizing vintage gear such as:

Could you explain a rap session?
Here’s how a rap session goes:
We create the session in Protools and setup the mic levels and compression (usually 15 minutes)
Start recording (usually 1 hour per song, if you include ad-libs, doubling, accents, etc)
Mixing and mastering is done on our time, after the session.
What style of music do you do?
We work with any style of music.
How do you record guitars?
We’ve got a great setup for recording guitars.
The heads are in the control room, so the guitar player listens through the large monitors.
This gives us the advantage of tweaking the heads from the control room.
The cabinets are in the studio.
We have a custom guitar patch bay which allows us to patch any head to any cabinet.
How long have you been in business?
Evermore Sounds has been opened since March 2012.
The owner, Luke Beaulac, previously owned a recording studio in Canada which had been in operations for over 10 years.
Do you use drum replacement plugins?
Yes, we do but we DO NOT replace our drum recordings!
We use drum samples ONLY for layering, not for replacing.
How long does it take to record a song?
It depends on many factors such as style of music and quality of musicians.
And most importantly BUDGET.
And also depends on quality of recording desired. Is this for a demo or album quality?
Talk to us about your project and we’ll give you a quote.
Do you do pre-production?
Yes!
Actually, we encourage all artists to do a pre-production session with us.
This not only saves precious studio time but it help musicians prepare for the session.
How do you mic the drums?
We usually mic everything.
Every drum is miked. Kick, snare have 2 mics.
If time permits, we’ll do top & bottom on toms as well.
We also mic overhead and distant room.
Usually 16 inputs for drums.
This gives us a lot options at mix time.
Do you use ProTools software?
Yes, we have ProTools. But I prefer using Cubase.
What kind of microphones do you have?
We have a large selection of high-quality microphones.
We use nothing but the best brands such as:
Neumann, Royer, Sennheiser, AKG, Earthworks, Beyer, etc
What resolution do you work with?
We work at 32 bit 44.1kHz, but we can work in most resolutions, even up to 192kHz.
What are the fees for mixing?
It depends on the songs & the number of tracks. Call us for more info
