Overview

Happy Dungeon is set up primarily for audio production in Pro Tools (although, Ableton Live can be an alternative). We have two 16 channel Lynx Aurora converters feeding a pair of Lynx AES16e cards housed in a Mac Pro (7,1). You can build your song one track at a time or bring in a band to capture your live vibe. Mastering is usually done with Steinberg WaveLab Pro. All audio files are made available in digital format, and CDs can be burned upon request.

We have some video production capabilities, which can be used to record and upload audition performances, reels, etc.
