For any band aspiring for success in today's music industry, a professional recording is without a doubt the most important thing to have. Without a decent quality recording you won't get decent tour support and festival slots, you won't get signed and you won't build a fanbase. At Azura Sound we have highly skilled recording engineers who will record your music on the highest quality equipment. Recording for us is always the most important aspect of the production process. We always get our recording right at the source so we don't have to fix it later in the mix. Azura Sound is a very comfortable environment to record in. You have access to all the comforts of home and clients have told us they perform better than ever in our professional yet relaxed atmosphere.

We focus on a professional, tight and modern mix. Different styles require different definition. Pop has traditionally been all about the vocals, rock about the guitars, dance about the bass drum and hip hop about the beat. Nowadays people want everything to be the main thing, no man gets left behind, and everything louder than everything else. To do this you need an exceptional perspective of where every instrument belongs and doesn't belong in the mix - and no two mixes are the same. You also need to be able to wield your studio tools like a Jedi to create the masterpiece you envision in your minds eye. Our acoustically optimised and treated mixing room runs a Steinberg Cubase environment and Adam Monitoring systems. As well as our outboard gear we have an armada of plugins to help us manufacture industry standard mixes of the highest quality.

Our mastering service will transform your raw mixes into professional, broadcast standard, radio friendly tracks. This can dramatically enhance your music, or be more subtle; it can give your track extra glue and it can fix a bad mix. There are a lot of smaller studios and bedroom producers about these days and they will often mix on uneven and badly treated rooms. That is why it is more important now than ever to get good quality mastering from a professional studio such as ours. Many commercial mastering houses today do not understand properly how to treat rock and metal. With us you can rest assured that busy and complicated heavy music is what we learned our skills on and somewhat of a specialty for us. In this nuclear loudness race of modern times it is truly an artform in itself to achieve loud, clear, wide and fat masters while retaining the integrity of the mix and keeping the sound punchy. We combine high end analogue outboard effects and a vast and up to date collection of digital plugins, depending on what your music needs. We can also add in UPC and IRSC codes and have experience mixing for Vinyl.  

We put a lot of thought into our original music composition and sound design to create a sonic brand identity in every project we work on. Sound design can be for adverts, theatre, video games, radio, film, TV, sculptures, music and sound effects for machines, cars or electrical appliances. Through innovative use of real world recording, analogue and digital synthesis and editing we can provide sound effects for practically any scenario. Our passion is scoring music which evokes emotion and crafting absorbing narratives with sound. When working with video games our job is to create content that matches the gameplay and art style, but also to implement it in the game using middleware such as Wwise and FMOD.
