In 1979, he came to Texas and, after a stint at Studio Seven, Group 7 Productions, IPS Productions and Real to Reel, he took over a studio above the French restaurant La Madeleine. Originally called Scotch Tape Productions, the name was eventually changed to protect the guilty.
From fairly humble beginnings, Scotch Productions has become a completely digital studio with the latest state of the art gear. Of course, equipment is only part of the story. Experience plays the bigger part. With over 20 years in the audio business, Gordon can bring a vast amount of understanding to your project. From putting the talent at ease, to scrutinising your script as the talent reads it, oftentimes catching errors in pronunciation, added or missed words which even client, writer and producer don't catch, to spotting grammatical mistakes. This all saves a great deal of time during editing. Clients range from private individuals cutting a voice demo tape to large corporations like ExxonMobil, (recording and producing a training tape recorded in fifteen different languages), to small folk groups and solo instrumentalists, to on-site recording using an Ultra-Light Dat recorder.
....Razor Sharp Editing.....The
one thing you can always count on is the keenest attention paid to the
most minute details of your script and the judicious marking of edit points
while recording. This saves a great deal of time during editing. Over 20
years experience from slicing tape with a razor blade (Ouch !!) to
the latest digital waveform editing. Audio Editing is indeed an artform
and can turn the proverbial sow's ear into a silk purse that sounds as
smoooth
as a baby's bottom.
....Music
to your Ears....One of
the things that does the most to enhance any audio project is music, but
not just any old piece of music, we're talking something special that will
give it impact , some serious pizzazzzz and make it stand out from the
bland crowd. Finding library music is never a chore at SPI. Other studios
send you to a room by yourself to plough through thousands of cd's and
a pile of catalogs. At SPI, using a database of almost 9,000 records collected
over the past 15 years and cataloged to find just the perfect piece to
fit your project, the search is done effortlessly, saving you time
and frustration. If you want to hear the difference a piece of music can
make to a dry piece of copy, click here,
select any of the "voice only" samples. Then, play the "produced" version
in the next column to hear how much music can enhance any voice track.
.... SFXJust
about any sound you can imagine ...........squealing tires, rifle crack,
cartoon,
trains, boats, planes, slot machines, horses.
Or the custom sound you need can be captured on location.
.... Add to all this an exceedingly patient, experienced,
conscientious
engineer with a decidedly non-Texas accent, always
eager to be of service and help you
painlessly complete your next production in the
most efficient way possible.
I look forward to working with you on your
next project. Until then,
"Lang may yer lum reek."
