Some common questions and answers
I've heard people talking about "DAW". What is a DAW?
The term "DAW" (digital audio workstation) refers to a tape-less, computer-based system. While most home computers with multitrack and editing software can function somewhat as a DAW, the term generally refers to computer systems which have professional audio software and high-quality external ADC-DAC hardware.
I have recorded my tracks on Ableton Live . Can I bring the tracks to Tinman? 
Sure! We can deal with most file types. We should be able  to import your files into our software, Cubase SX, in a matter of minutes. We can also provide you with different file formats so that you can import these back into your original project.
Although I'm quite satisfied with what I've recorded, I would be even happier if I could have a real musician play on my tracks. Can you help? 
No problem!  We are in regular contact with numerous professional musicians and singers.  
What are Software Plugins? 
Software Plugins are software emulations of analog hardware, for example, effects processors, mixing and mastering tools, as well as software based synthesizers, samplers etc. These are computer applications that run inside a "host" application like Cubase SX.

From Mix to Master
Digital Mastering

What is digital mastering and why is it necessary? Digital mastering  is a process which converts raw audio into a professional product. Tinman Studios now uses the award-winning Sony Sound Forge™ digital audio editor to digitally master your CD and quickly get from raw audio to the finished master. The finished audio is then imported into Sony CD Architect™ our professional application for mastering and burning Red Book audio CDs.
