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 10 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 big money 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

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!!

"Coloradorock
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."
Man,
we were blown away by the amazing PA/Video/Staging that Dan
and Co. have set up over there....wow! With all that
great video gear I knew it would look cool but I was really
pumped to hear how good the audio turned out...Great
job! U Call That Art!
Thanks
again for including us in your TV show, it was a
blast. The deep pocket three
Hey
Danny,
This
is Dan Shuford the drummer from Carey Hallett’s band
BLACK. First off I want to thank you for the work you
have done on our audio/video takes. I have shown them to
several musician friends and all have been impressed with both
audio and video quality. Muchos Gracious!
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,

Coloradorock
is the launching pad for the musical talent that is brewing on
the Front Range of the Rockies. It was very gratifying to work
with such a professional group of people; I know that the
exposure my music will get through Coloradorock will be
essential to my success.

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 us around.

"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.
|
| |
|
|
|
.Final Cut Pro |
|
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.
|
|
. |
|
|
|
.Studio One |
|
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.

Cut Pro $999, and Adobe's Premiere $799

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 Studio
One Free Podium,
and Audacity and
of course there is allot of professional recording
software like, Cubase
$499, Studio
One Pro $499 Sony

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.

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 .
