CD / DVD Production

CD Production
From the recording sessions to your pressing master, METIER Productions can provide a complete CD Production service from start to finish based on experience gained in music production since 1991.

Company Director, David Lefeber, is a seasoned producer and engineer with a track record of well over 100 commercial CDs. He can not only engineer a top-quality recording but also gently and encouragingly coax the best performances for your project.

Audio/Video Acquisition for DVD, Broadcast or Video Podcasts
DVD1METIER Productions has recently teamed up with a London-based video production company to facilitate a complete DVD production service, start to finish. This is ideal for many clients who require the acquisition of live music events of any genre for DVD release. The client can request as many cameras as necessary to cover the event whilst the METIER Production Mobile can handle all the audio recording, providing a mix in stereo or surround as required. Video Post Production takes place on Final Cut Pro while audio mixing and mastering is done in METIER Productions' SADiE suite. DVD Authoring is either undertaken on the Final Cut Studio or the Sony DVD Architect platforms. Dolby Digital encoding is done in Sony Vegas.

DVD2Corporate clients would also be well served by our service as conference proceedings can be filmed and edited for a final presentation and perhaps produced on DVD for internal or marketing circulation, or prepared for a corporate website as a Video Podcast. We also have wide experience in the production of corporate video presentations.

Whatever your requirements, together with our affiliate, video shooting, sound coverage and all the editing and final delivery can be performed to the highest DVD and broadcast standards. Please contact us for a quote.

  • This new vehicle is based around a Yamaha DM1000v2 which can mix to surround and stereo simultaneously.
  • Monitoring is on PMC (Stereo) and Genelec (surround) controlled by SPL’s Surround Monitor Controller.
  • Acoustically treated to minimise unwanted noise from outside and to provide an ideal mixing environment even when situated near roads or in flight paths.
  • UPS power supply keeps things running in case of a short power break to the single 13amp RCD protected supply (which is all that is required)
  • Video tie lines allow for video monitors in the mixing position with a camera pointing at the stage if desired.
