RUMA is now running a Mac Pro Dual Quad Core with Logic Pro 9 (latest software) Mackie 1640i Desk simultaneously recording 16 tracks at once, also running Cubase 4 recordings on PC and Mac .

We use Dynaudio BM6A Studio Monitors. These were founded in Denmark in 1977 and are still hand made in Denmark today. Most studios in the world have a pair in their studios.

We master with UAD high quality plug-ins.

All of our plugins are the industry standard plugins and are used both in our mixing and mastering.

We can also record bands live in the studio. We record, mix and master projects outside of our studio as well.

If you have recorded at another location and would like us to finish off the project, we can mix and master your project for you.

An acoustic mix takes anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours per song and consists of adding dynamic processing, effects, panning, EQ, and detailed automation.

A full mix usually takes anywhere from 3 to 5 hours per song and consists of the same things that an acoustic mix contains but requires more time due to more tracks processing.
