History

Tesco Productions officially opened its doors in 1986. A friend suggested using my initials TES + CO (company) as the name and it stuck.  Originally the business was a mix of recording studio work and sound system installations. This continued until several years ago when the focus was placed exclusively on the non-install side of our business. The studio went to computer-based digital recording as our main format in 1994. Since then we have expanded our studio with two larger Mac ProTools setups, as well as a second PC-based ProTools and other audio processing software.

About Us

We have developed and maintain two primary client segments – music recording and productions for corporate clients. On the music side we have recorded a huge array of music styles from opera to heavy metal. Our more recent focus has become largely acoustic-based genres and Hispanic music. We primarily do studio recordings, but have recorded live presentations on a number of occasions. On the corporate side, we provide extensive spoken text editing and have produced audio for multi-media, radio, interactive-telephone, the web and live presentations. A third segment of our business is focused on non-profit organizations which has been for radio, PSAs, multi-media and live sound. Over the years we have recorded hundreds of sound effects – a number of which have made it into client projects. This archive has not been marketed yet but is available.

Billing

The studio is booked and billed on our hourly basis (to the nearest quarter hour) with a nominal minimum. The rate is based on the type of project we are doing – whether music, corporate or non-profit. A bulk rate is available for music projects requiring ten hours or more time. You won’t find me staring at the clock the moment you arrive – making sure every minute is accounted for. Setup time is normally not charged here because whether it’s your business or organization communications, family memories, or music, it is much more effectively and enjoyably done in a relaxed environment.
