Ready Mr. Music! Comments Off

We’ve just added hundreds of new tracks to our production music library, and they’re making a huge difference already! It really is amazing the difference great music makes when added to a voice over. Often, I think, music can just be added as an ‘afterthought’. Here, the boys do their best to carefully select music that really sits with the voice, suits the product, and gives lift to the whole sound.

There’s just so much dross and really poorly produced, cheesy production music being peddled as ‘cutting edge’ around the place. Believe me, we’ve spent hours and hours sorting through thousands of tracks to bring you the best. And, we own the rights to use all of them, so you won’t pay a cent in licensing fees.

Our complete production library is online for you to audition – go to www.abesaudio.com.au/music
Just let us know if you’d like login details.

Here are just three of our newest tracks:

Looking for some Christmas music without a hint of cheese? This track was recorded especially for us by one of our talented young music producers in Port Lincoln.

This is a great, national-sounding medium tempo bed. Would sit very nicely on a branding ad for a car manufacturer.

Classy, modern & corporate. From high end accommodation, to hi tech. This is a fantastic track.

Our 8th Producer Joins The Team Comments Off

From mid December, you may just see another name on the bottom of an email, or talk to another voice on the phone.

Paul joins us with 10 years of radio production experience behind him – and we’re excited to welcome him to the Abe’s Audio family!

His appointment couldn’t have come at a better time. We want to make sure our level of service and turnaround remains of the highest standard and we need good people to help us make that happen.

Welcome to the Abe’s Audio family, mate. :)

Get to know Paul in 30 seconds

1. He plays keyboard and sings in a Beach Boys tribute band. (All together now… A Baa Baa Baa, Baa Barbara Ann)
2. He has MUCH longer hair than Pete.
3. He’s a Mac man. (PCs… bah humbug)
4. On the weekend Paul watches the AFL – Go The Bulldogs!! Also, he loves to spend quality time with his wife and 2 kids… (as long as the Footy’s not on!!!)
5. All time favourite song is ‘Your Song’ by.. um… Elton John. (If you had mentioned that BEFORE the job interview Paul, there may have been a different outcome!)
6. When he was a kid, all he wanted to do when he grew up was to find out the recipe for Red Roosters’ chicken salt.
