Like most studios, we list some of the big names so clients will know we are credible, but we love working on projects of all kinds: family bands, music-making friends, music students of all ages, the music hobbyist who wants to record a love song for her partner….we’ve done it all and we would love to work with you, help put you at ease and make the process fun. We believe the recording process should be creative, relaxed and enjoyable..

Colors Production usually consists of several processes. Each different project may need some, or all of these processes in order to be complete. The processes are: Production Dialogue Editing ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement - if needed) Sound Effects Editing and Design Foley Recording (human sound effects recorded in sync with picture) Music Composition and Music Editing Mixing (also called re-recording) .

If you haven't shot your film yet, it begins before you shoot - by selecting the finest production dialogue mixer you can afford. The little bit extra paid to a great production mixer can save you tenfold later in Colors-production.

The production mix team are the individuals charged with recording your live dialogue, in sync with the camera team. The Production Sound Mixer is your most important ally at this stage in the movie's production. Although you will be anxious to complete as many setups as possible during each shooting day, a little extra time guven to the sound mixer to allow him to capture scene ambience (called room tone) will pay off hamdsome dividends later during our dialogue editing. The production mixer will have with him a boom operator, who handles the boom mics, and usually a cable person, who will be in charge of wrangling the audio cables needed to mike the set appropriately. Usually they will record on a Nagra recorder, but digital recordings on Portable Time code DAT machines are becoming more common.

Well, yes. During the editing you may still need reprints of selected takes or outtakes. The Colors Production facility will duplicate these for you. But the real job is starting to come into view: the locked cut.

Optical soundtracks (we mentioned them earlier). Almost all of the release formats, including the digital ones have provision for some kind of optical soundtrack, even if only as a backup. The optical soundtrack refers to the two-channel soundtrack that is carried on the optical track of the film release print..
