- Colin records professional quality drum tracks at home for artists, tv shows, movies and commercials. The recorded sessions are then posted online for the client to download. This modern recording procedure saves everyone time and money. It is no longer mandatory to rent a studio for a session and then shlep a van full of gear there. With modern recording technology, recording can be done at a much lower cost while still achieving professional quality recordings.
Colin has the capability to record professional quality acoustic drums and percussion by using Pro Tools 7.4. Colin mics his drums with up to 16 high quality microphones simultaneously and can layer as many tracks as the session requires. Colin has five different professional drum kits that work for different styles of music from jazz, rock, house, jungle, reggae, metal, pop, latin, classical and more. Clients can email Colin their music (mp3) and he will track his drums along with it. Colin will then mix/master the session and then post the Pro Tools files in a folder on www.colinkingsmore.com for the client's access. Colin is also a member of E-Session.com (Database of music professionals for hire).
