Colorado
is home to a very unique independent production company. Coloradorock
is one of the only video production companies in the world that
focuses on recording LIVE BANDS. Because of this focus, we are the
most experienced and best equipped LIVE BAND video production
company in the world. Coloradorock has recorded live bands 4-7
nights a week for the last nine years which has resulted in over
five thousand sessions with over 3500 bands.
If
you've ever tried to get a quote from a production company then you
know that making a quality High Definition band video usually costs
tens of thousands of dollars.
Most
production companies charge thousands of dollars for the shoot
alone then thousands more to edit into a finished product
Home
computers are now fast enough for bands to edit and mix themselves
saving thousands of dollars while giving artists full control.
Coloradorock
specializes in creating raw footage and multi track audio of live
bands that can then be mixed and blended with any type of
electronic media to create spectacular unique video that looks
like you spent the big bucks.
Coloradorock is an ongoing long term project to document the
outstanding talent in Colorado by gathering footage of every band
in the state. We offer an opportunity that is usually cost
prohibitive to most bands by providing High Definition video
and audio services at a fraction of the expense. Our goal is
to expose as many Colorado bands to television and internet
viewers with professional video that will make your band look and
sound its best.

Testimonials
Here's
what actual customers have to say about our services.
David
wrote: "Here's the real deal... This is 'hands down' the
best bang for the buck in town for video and audio production.
You can get Top Quality promo for a very reasonable price. If
you are serious about having a successful band, you WILL need
excellent DVD's. Anything less is pretty much a waste of time.
And these are HD, so the quality is SUPERB. I will vouch for
these guys. They bring the goods. A 'must have', if you're
serious about being successful. No, they didn't give me anything
for endorsing them. I had to pay for it, just like everyone
else. The good news is... IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. We have
gotten better gigs as a result of this. What a GREAT service! To
see what quality can be accomplished go to Hot
Posse 1

Webb, Hot Posse

Dan
Byars noted that KUSA channel 9 in Denver, stated that Hot Posse has been voted best band in Colorado for
several years!

I
just wanted to say how thrilled we were with our experience
at Smokin' Joe's last Saturday Night. The staff couldn't have
been nicer or more professional, the Audio/Video Crew were first
rate, it was the best experience I have had in a show situation
since the 70's. The food was great too. It was a pleasure and an
honor to work with true professionals, and we look forward
to playing there again in the future.
Thanks
again to all involved, you guys ROCK!

We
had the honor of being on the Jammin' Joe's stage on
Sunday, November 13th to provide music for our
Hula-Hooping friend's hula contest and party. We were
overwhelmingly impressed with the venue and the
ColoradoRock technical team. Boy, do we wanna come back!!

captures artists both visually and sonically in a common
environment to give them wide exposure otherwise
never possible before. There is nobody else that we
know of that does what they do!! and best of all, IT
IS FUN!!!"
Standing
on the X
I
just wanted to say that you and the crew you had working
last night were incredible! From helping us get set up on
stage and making the adjustments for near perfection
"on stage" to the actual recording and playing
the video on the screens in the club. Also for taking the
time to give us a tour of the studio and explaining all
the options for what kind of finished product we could
expect and purchase. Your offering is nothing less than
professional from start to finish. I also wanted to say
that the guys out front made every effort to make sure we
had what we needed to play at the level that we were
looking for.
We
are proudly telling other musicians about the service you
are providing and what an awesome time we had. We are
looking forward to seeing the finished recording!
Thank You

Just
wanted to write and thank you for letting Big Heater
play for the Coloradorock TV show. You are providing a
great service for bands in the area. Big Heater appreciated
all the effort of your crew last night. It is a
welcomed change in attitude after the way we have been
treated by some clubs who didn't know the meaning of
professionalism. Thanks again.
"thanks
to you and the crew up there we finally got the video on
VHS and watched it last night. It was incredible.
Thanks from us @ Big Heater. We've tried to tell some
local bands here of your service but now we actually have
something to show them."

Hi,
Judy and Dan and all the crew at Coloradorock!
Thank
you, so much for the opportunity of playing and working
with you all. Your hospitality and support are
awesome. I’ve not had many opportunities to
work with such talented and creative people. Even
though I threw you all a few curves with my setup, your
expertise and knowledge created an amazing video and sound
from the chaos. Everyone is still buzzing about
the show and loved it.
Please
say Hi to Cody, Glen, Bob, Jimmy, and everyone else.
With warm regards,

rocks...Judy and the guys are doing more for the original
rock scene in Denver than any team I've ever run
across...their production encompasses excellent audio and
visual prowess, very professional in all respects...to
have this team promoting original unsigned bands in the
Denver area is a blessing. The Denver original music scene
is notoriously sluggish, but it will take off, and when it
does, coloradorock.com will be directly responsible for
that launch!!

It
was nice to finally meet you in person last night.
We were really impressed by the professional quality of
what was going on with the video tapings. We had heard
such fun things about it, and they were all true. And your
crew is so nice! Looks like everyone’s been really
working hard to make it what it is. Thank you for showing

"I
want to thank you again for the video, it has been very
helpful to our band. Of the 11 years I have been in
the music field, ColoradoRock.com offers an excellent
service to all bands. Through video recording, bands
get to see their stage performance, and hear how they
sound live. This recording is not only a tool of
promotions and exposure, but also to self growth and
improvement to the band. I recommend all bands who
are ready to take the next step of self evaluating, and
self promoting to do this. Nothing but experience
can come from playing with you and ColoradoRock.com.
Your staff are a great people to work with. I thank you
for the help you offer in building and assisting the music
scene of Colorado."
In kind regards

Just
wanted to say what a pleasure it was playing Andolini's
last night. All of us in BODRAGAZ had a great time
opening the show for our friends in Randal.
Playing
a bar for the first time can be a trying experience,
but we were all thrilled with Andolini's, it's staff, the
treatment we received, and of course the sound, lighting, and
video provided. That was one of the best times we've had playing
a bar, ever. We hope to be able to return and headline on
another weekend very soon, and will be be sure to
concentrate heavily on promoting the gig to pack the house, and
take more advantage of the sound mastering and video
services available to us to make a top-quality BODRAGAZ video!
Nice
meeting you Judy, we hope to be back soon!
And
Brother Rob: Great job last night, THANK YOU!

Coloradorock
utilizes the latest
technologies to capture live footage in the 1080HD format using 4 Canon HD
cameras plugged into an Edirol V-440 High Definition switcher which is
then output to a Mac Pro Dual Quad running Final Cut Pro. In order to
properly record bands live in front of a crowd, it takes several mixes. Coloradorock
at Jammin' Joe's is the only place in Colorado equipped
specifically for video taping live music in front of an audience. Six
separate powerful stage mixes ensure that every performer can hear
themselves with ease. Four individual front of house mixes are used to
disperse sound to the audience. Next, every audio channel is split using
a Whirlwind 24 x 24 x 24 Jensen isolated splitter to insure pristine audio
signal to our control room.
|
|
|

|
|
. |
|
In our control room, as the Hi-Def
camera's are being switched by our video mix engineer, our audio mix
engineer is completing 2 independently separate tasks: |
|
.
|
|
#1 24 track recording. All
instruments, drums and vocals are recorded separately as high quality 16
bit up to 32 bit .wav files that can be mixed later at another recording
studio or with any home computer. Each track is recorded dry with no
effects or equalization in order to keep all options open for the mix
engineer. Bands can also add new tracks for a fuller sound or re-record
any instrument or vocal parts that might need to be replaced (punched
in). After the perfect mix is achieved, this mix can then be
resynchronized with the Hi Def or Standard Video. If you would
like to mix these tracks yourself of have them mixed at another studio
please let us know in advance to specify your preferred Bit/Sample rate.
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
. |
|
These audio tracks can be used with
all Digital Audio Workstation "DAW" software including Cubase,
Cakewalk, Sonar, Garage Band, Acid and many more. these tracks can be purchased
separately from the video for only $100 per 45 minute set. |
|
. |
|
#2 Real time stereo (2 track left &
right) audio. This is the audio that comes on the DVD's and Blu-Ray
discs. This is super high-quality (24 bit) audio but it can not be
remixed after it is recorded. Before Coloradorock had multitrack
capabilities this is the way we recorded every band for our standard
definition television shows. This two track audio is a very economical
high quality solution for those on a budget. |
|
. |
| Standard Definition Video with 2
track stereo audio $150 per set.
|
|
. |
| High Definition Video with 2 track
stereo audio $250 per set. Please bring High capacity Hard Drive
if you'd like the optional files for editing ( minimum 250 gigs audio
and video files per set ).
|
|
. |
| These prices are for raw audio and
video data and does not include editing
|
|
. |
|
Raw
footage needs to be edited to become a desirable product. Just like in
Hollywood, it takes more than actors, lights and a camera to make a great
movie. Most scenes are shot dozens of times to get exactly what they are
going for, then thousands of hours are spent reviewing and fine tuning
every scene (both audio & video) until all footage is ready to be
assembled into final product. Every TV show video and movie needs
every step of this production process to become a presentable commercially
viable video presentation.
|
|
. |
| |
|
. |
|
Video
editing is the process of editing segments of motion video footage, special
effects and sound recordings into competed video product.
You
can edit yourself with free software on your computer already like Apple's iMovie and Microsoft's Windows
Movie Maker.

use high end editing software like Sony
Vegas $599.95, Avid's Media
Composer $2295, Apple's Final
Cut Pro $999, and Adobe's Premiere $799
Coloradorock
charges $40 per hour for Video
Editing.

Audio
Mixing is
the process by which a multitude of recorded sounds are combined into
one or more channels, most commonly two-channel stereo. In the
process, the source signal's level, frequency content, dynamics and
panoramic position are manipulated and effects such as reverb may be added.
This practical, aesthetic or otherwise creative treatment is done in
order to produce a mix that is more appealing to listeners.
You
can mix yourself with free software for mixing audio like Podium,
and Audacity and
of course there is allot of professional recording software like, Cubase
$499, Studio
One Pro $499 Sony
Acid Pro $299.95 Adobe
Audition $349 Magix
Samplitude 11 $499 Cakewalk
Guitar Tracks Pro $99 Cakewalk

Logic Studio $499

Audio
Mastering is the process
of preparing and transferring recorded audio from a source
containing the final mix to final distribution. It
is the art of using corrective equalization and dynamic enhancement
in order to improve upon sound translation on all playback systems.
There
is a lot of free software for mastering audio but there is no
comparison to the pro software like Peak
$1199, Wave
Lab $499, or
Wave
Arts $499 .
Coloradorock
charges $40 per hour for Audio
Mastering |
