Been doing my roughs for client approval straight from into a Zoom H-2, for the simple ones, and into an old Tascam for the ones needing to be multi-tracked.
After approval, we go to a commercial studio.
We do about 10 scores a year, and that is not enough to sustain a national quality production level; the kind necessary for people like Toyota and the like.
Edits are precise and we have our favorite place with OK prices and lots of experience in recording for film. Budgets are sufficient to hire what we need to get the job(s)( done.
I believe the quality of our audio tracks gives us an advantage; certainly over the houses that use "needle drop" tracks.
My name is on the whole production...the track, the script, the footage...everything, and the custom score helps.
