We utilize the latest digital audio workstation, essential and extremely powerful, giving access to virtually unlimited 24-bit audio tracks and the best digital effects. We also have a few vintage, top-end audio processors to give your recordings the warmth and depth they deserve.

At CHmusiq you will find an experienced producer, who will help you put together your songs and make them sound right - from simple, unplugged "voice and guitar" settings to complex, multi-instrument arrangements. If you want, through CHmusiq you can access top recording musicians for any style of music.

At the end of the recording sessions you will leave with copies of your CD, ready to be played on any CD player and, if you are going for a bigger production, ready for professional red book mastering. We can also prepare "music only" versions of your songs, so that you can sing along with, for your pleasure, for auditions or live performances.

And, NO, this will not cost you a fortune! We charge a flat rate of CHF 50 per hour, whether recording, arranging, mixing or promoting. We like to work alongside our clients at all stages of the process, so there are no "hidden costs" or hours that mysterioulsy creep onto the final bill.


Now, would you like to hear what our productions sound like?

Well, first of all let us tell you that products coming out of our small, high-tech studio have sold not far from 200,000 copies world-wide. That's the equivalent of 8 golden records in Switzerland...

Studio clients - R&B

MELINKAY

GWLADYS
PALMISTE

Gwladys Palmiste is simply a phenomenon - a native of Guadaloupe, she graduated as a classical soprano at Geneva's Conservatory. She also sings R&B extraordinarily well, with a voice not unlike Alicia Keys.

With the term "vanity CD" we simply indicate that John sung over professional backing tracks - the music was not recorded in our studio. Click on the reels to listen to his rendition of Lady Is A Tramp.
