ABOUT US:
OUR COMPANY: Overture Studios has been established for 12 years (2001-2012) and we are now rollin' into our ninth year (2004-2012) with our mobile recording studio. In 2008, we opened up Pathfinder Productions, a division of OS which specializes in E*Band Press Kits and Local Talent Management.
OS REMOTE TRUCK: After 3 years of planning and 6 months of construction our Mobile Studio was completed with great success. It's 100% fully operational, ergonimical, and functional to perform with excellence for even the hardest to please clients. The Truck is spacious enough to seat 7 people comfortably including the Engineer, yet it's still compact enough to park in even the tightest of locations. In the Summer of 2005 we added a custom, matching trailer enabling us to carry more equipment to satisfy the needs of all of our clients.
OS OWNER/ENGINEER - KEVIN CODY: As a musician and engineer for 19 years, I've persevered to make a name for myself and an impact in the music industry. I feel very confident that I have not only met, but have exceeded my goals, and I know, it's only the beginning. I started my journey at a young age as a guitarist and singer/songwriter which quickly sparked my interest in recording. I grudgingly put my music interests on the side burner for a couple years to obtain an AA Degree in General Business Administration (97'). During this time my desire for music grew even stronger and I was determined to make music a full time career. I immediately enrolled in Full Sail and obtained an AS in the Recording Arts (99'). I then moved to Atlanta, GA and opened up "Overture Studios" (01'). After 3 years of planning and 6 months of construction, the "OS Remote Truck" Mobile Recording Studio was completed with great success (04'). I met and partnered up with Eric Heil with "The Loft Recording Studio" & "Angelic Productions" and have had the pleasure of working with him ever since. I recently opened up "Pathfinder Productions," (08') in an effort to become more involved in Greater Atlanta's local music scene.

SERVICES/RATES:
Live Recording (up to 48 Tracks of DVD Quality) with the "OS Remote Truck" including Engineer and Tech Crew - Only $2,995$2,495/day for 48 tracks or $2,495$1,995/day for 32 tracks. Mileage is free for up to 100 round trip miles and then it's $2.00/extra mile. If you need more than 48 tracks, need back up tracks, or you need us to record 2 seperate events at the same time (up to 48 tracks each), no problem. We have partnered up with Atlanta's, "The Loft Recording Studio" & "Angelic Productions" to provide us with even more superior expertise and equipment.
WHY WOULD I EVEN WANT A LIVE A/V RECORDING?: As a gigging artist or band, a Professional Audio/Video Recording for your EPK (Electronic Press Kit) and/or a DVD for your physical Press Kit is the #1 rated tool for booking more and higher paid gigs. This will of course lead to a larger fan base and ultimately more A&R (Artist & Repertoire) Rep visits resulting in Record Deal offers. Becoming well known and possibly Rich and Famous in the Music Business is certainly a tangible task, but only if your band follows the appropriate steps. It all starts with playing as many gigs, in as many different venues possible. Booking Managers want to hear a live recording, not something that was tracked, overdubbed, and edited in a studio. They also want to be able to see you in action, which is why you'll also be provided with a tripod mounted, pro camcorder, with a static, optimal view of your band. This video will be synced to the finished mixed audio for an explosive presentation. We only use one camera simply because Booking Managers don't want to watch an overproduced multiple camera shoot. They want to be able to view and listen to you just as if they were actually there in the audience. This way, they know exactly what they're getting for their money when they decide to book your band for their next event.

BID ON OS SERVICES:
Before you place your bid, please take a moment to read through the frequently asked questions below. We also recommend that you visit our website at www.OvertureStudios.com to become more familiar with our company and the quality of the services that we provide. When you're ready to bid, simply click the BID NOW! button below.
What is a bid? In this case, a bid is the process of placing a price and/or a traded product or service on a selected recording studio service based on a value that is derived from your band's budget and need for such a service.
What am I bidding on? You are bidding on 4 services: 1) Live Audio/Video Recording with no Mix, 2) Live Audio/Video Recording with Mix, 3) Studio Time by the hour (Tracking, Overdubbing, Editing, and/or Mixing), and/or 4) an 8 hour block of Studio Time.
Why bid on a Live Audio/Video Recording with or without Mix? Most bands can not afford to pay the costs associated with a professional live recording. By bidding for this service, we are able to make it much more affordable by splitting the recording cost between multiple bands. When you share the stage with other bands, youíre able to share the costs, and everyone wins. In most cases, the combined bids are enough to make it possible for everyone to take advantage of this service at a price that fits each band's individual budget. Remember, you have absolutely nothing to loose by bidding, and everything to gain.
WHY WOULD I EVEN WANT A LIVE A/V RECORDING?: A Professional Audio/Video Recording for your EPK (Electronic Press Kit) and/or a DVD for your physical Press Kit is the #1 rated tool for booking more and higher paid gigs. This will of course lead to a larger fan base and ultimately more A&R (Artist & Repertoire) Rep visits resulting in Record Deal offers. Becoming well known and possibly Rich and Famous in the Music Business is certainly a tangible task, but only if your band follows the appropriate steps. It all starts with playing as many gigs, in as many different venues possible. Booking Managers want to hear a live recording, not something that was tracked, overdubbed, and edited in a studio. They also want to be able to see you in action, which is why you'll also be provided with a tripod mounted, pro camcorder, with a static, optimal view of your band. This video will be synced to the finished mixed audio for an explosive presentation. We only use one camera simply because Booking Managers don't want to watch an overproduced multiple camera shoot. They want to be able to view and listen to you just as if they were actually there in the audience. This way, they know exactly what they're getting for their money when they decide to book your band for their next event.
NOTE: You are bidding on a Professional A/V Live Recording with the "OS Remote Truck." We will record up to 48 simultaneous, individual tracks with the absolute best mics, di-boxes, cables, mic/line pre-amps, and A/D converters money can buy. Once the recording is complete, we will then mix the tracks in our studio and sync the final audio mix to your pro video recording (one camera with optimal view of your band) which will be presented to you on DVD. You will also get a CD with just audio.
REMINDER: Don't ever hire amatuers and/or hobbyist to record/mix your music. This is a complete waist of your band's time and money. Never allow your band's reputation to be damaged by allowing anyone to record you with a stereo feed from the venue's mixing console (Yuck), or better yet, with a video camera's stereo mic (Double Yuck).
Why bid on Studio Time? Like most Recording Studios, our facilities are not booked all of the time. We have many open time slots and even full days where we are not working resulting in a loss of profit. Itís times like this that we are much more inclined to accept a lower rate (bid) than we normally charge. Bidding on studio time can open up an opportunity to save a substantial amount of money. Remember, you have absolutely nothing to loose by bidding, and everything to gain.
NOTE: You are bidding on Professional Studio Time (Tracking, Overdubbing, Editing, and/or Mixing). We have the absolute best equipment & facility money can buy and some of the most talented engineers in Atlanta to run it.
REMINDER: Don't ever hire amatuers and/or hobbyist to record/mix your music. This is a complete waist of your band's time and money. Make sure you hire an actual Recording Engineer (someone who has a Degree or Certification in the Recording Arts). Be aware of "so called engineers" trying to pawn off their cheap services using inferior consumer equipment.
How should I bid? Your bid should represent your bandís budget and need for such a service. Donít bid more than your band can afford. Likewise, if youíre bidding on a service that your band is interested in, donít bid too low or you may never get an opportunity to take advantage of such a service. You should put some thought into your bid(s) the first time, however, if at anytime you decide to change your bid, simply bid again (this will override any previous bids).
How long does it take before my bid is accepted? This depends on the value of your bid and the frequency of opportunities that arise. There is no time limit on a bid. All bids are reviewed on a daily basis. If at anytime Overture Studios accepts your bid, you will be contacted by a studio representative.
PATHFINDER PRODUCTIONS:
Pathfinder Productions (a division of Overture Studios) is a Greater Atlanta Based company that specializes in E*Band Press Kits and Local Talent Management through our exclusive event network. The absolute most important tool a band can have to get noticed, book high paying gigs, and have a real shot in the music biz, is to have a professional portfolio or resume, known as a Press Kit. Whether you have an agent or you manage and represent yourself, without a good Press Kit, it can be quite difficult, if not impossible to get anywhere in this industry. Let Pathfinder Productions create an explosive E*Band Press Kit for you, and allow us to submit it through our exclusive local event network. In no time at all, you'll be playing one paid gig after another, and realizing your dreams of playing music as a career, and not just a hobby. If your ready to quit your day job and get serious about playing paid gigs full time, then it's time to give us a call.
YOUR CUSTOMIZED E*BAND PRESS KIT: The EPK (Electronic Press Kit) that we customize for you and/or your band is attached to an email that is submitted to hundreds of anxiously awaiting local Booking Managers looking to book new talent for their stage. Your EPK will contain your professionally recorded/mixed live audio/video recording provided by Overture Studios. Your EPK will also include the name of your band, band members, where you're from, influences, bio, and photos.
Live Audio/Video Recording - We've done a tremendous amount of research on the effectiveness of various Press Kits as well as spoken with many Booking Managers in our network in an effort to make our E*Band Press Kit (OS EPK) the best in the biz. One key contributing factor that makes our Press Kit so powerful is our professional live audio/video recording. Booking Managers want to hear a live recording, not something that was tracked, overdubbed, and edited in a studio. They also want to be able to see you in action, which is why you'll also be provided with a tripod mounted, pro camcorder, with a static, optimal view of the you or your band. This video will be synced to the finished mixed audio for an explosive presentation. We only use one camera simply because Booking Managers don't want to watch an overproduced multiple camera shoot. They want to be able to view and listen to you just as if they were actually there in the audience. This way, they know exactly what they're getting for their money when they decide to book your band for their next event.
OUR EXCLUSIVE LOCAL EVENT NETWORK: Our Network consists of hundreds of Clubs, Bars, and Venues throughout the Greater Atlanta and Athens Area. Another key contributing factor that guarantees unparrallel results with our Press Kits, is the fact that we have established a relationship with these Booking Managers, who are anxiously awaiting our email so they can view our catalog of new talent. Most of the people in our network don't even like looking at other inferior Press Kits because it's too difficult for them to make an informed desicion based on the materials they've been presented with. Our E*Band Press Kits give our evergrowing network exactly what they want, and expect, and that's why we are able to guarantee such powerful results.
RATES AND BOOKING COMMISION: Before we can create a customized E*Band Press Kit and submit it through our exclusive network, you must first record and mix a live album with Overture Studios. Please visit the "OS" site for a list of services and rates. Once your Band Press Kit has been submitted and we book a gig for you, you'll be contacted with the date, time, and place. If you and your band accept the gig and play, we will collect the money from the owner/manager and send you a check minus our small booking commission fee of 15%.
BONUS! GET NATIONWIDE EXPOSURE & RECORD CONTRACT OFFERS: We'll submit your E*Band Press Kit nationwide through our own successfull channels. Your Press Kit submission will be tailored to be sent to every US Record Label that accepts the genre(s) of music that you and your band are most recognized with. We'll contact you with all record contract offers and will work with you in negotiating a fair contract and commission rate.
