Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do. https://www.precursor.studio/mixing daily 0.75 2024-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/5c739c3e-f54d-43a1-a236-976df618aa98/000009+cut+jpg.jpg Mixing - Mixed by a professional “Fix it in the mix” is a saying that got popularized in the technical boom of VSTs. Before this, session musicians made all the difference (and they still do!). The recording, or tracking stage of a record is ever so important, but these days digital sounds have taken up a big space in music production. A new era of music started when DSP took a major place in the production, recording and development of sound. In today’s world, computing power is so readily-available that everyone is able to produce music right from their own bedroom. No phyisical instruments are needed for many different types of music, nor is there the need to play and record instruments. This has lead to a philosophy of “fix it in the master”, where digital productions and mixing go hand in hand and the ‘final touch’ is done in the mastering stage. But I believe that the freedom of working with stems and ability to add effects is a better way to improve the way your music sounds. Therefore I will use a combination of digital software and vintage analog equipment to mixdown your music and make sure your tracks stand out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Mixing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg Mixing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Mixing https://www.precursor.studio/sound-design daily 0.75 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/4f798597-4cec-46ac-8307-7b4a2598d636/precursor_cinestill-3.jpg Sound Design - Modular synthesis. The Precursor studio hosts a variety of synthesizers and devices, but modular synthesis may be the most elusive of them all. This constantly changing machine allows for infinite soundscapes, far beyond our imagination. The impossible made possible.. right at your fingertips. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/f0938c5b-1384-4d41-981f-e67368a4272c/precursor_cinestill-7.jpg Sound Design - Analog and digital. But why limit ourselves to analog? The power of digital synths and effects is undeniable, but the real magic happens when analog recordings are summed with digital sounds and effects. Precursor is a master in integrating different sound influences to finetune sound design to your needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/99cbd3ef-472a-4076-9e49-3ac60308878d/DSCF3087.jpg Sound Design - Modern meets vintage. Unique sounds are produced when modern synthesizers are routed through vintage effect chains. Sometimes you just need that 80s vibe for a scene, or did you forget about the success of series like “Dark” and “Stranger Things”? https://www.precursor.studio/artist-impressum daily 0.75 2024-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/103816c1-8273-469c-a58b-684773f7d79d/13173543_618019548351030_3733388501919563412_o.jpg Artist Impressum Photo by Guy Houben https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/b4b511da-1dd6-4032-a865-09ae6404742b/Settlers+Studio+x+Posse+x+Blue+Velvet+-+%5B+niekhage+%5D+-kleur+2%29.jpg Artist Impressum Photo by Niek Hage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/a5e8591b-ddb6-4be6-bce3-f488807e0eea/ARVET-014-GLIA-3000x3000px.jpg Artist Impressum GLIA Album https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/1a9ae071-c7d2-40ca-bda6-3f003bb4c0ae/ARVET-004-BIOMARKER-3000x3000px-OK.jpg Artist Impressum Biomarker + remixes by Hunter/Game, VNTM, Outis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/e90e1ef9-22fb-4a28-a05e-54437bcf3a33/ARVET-012-EVERGREEN-3000x3000px.jpg Artist Impressum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/9905c922-3a13-4dd8-8cca-a0f89f3edb4e/ARVET-003-MYELIN-3000x3000px.jpg Artist Impressum Myelin + dub version https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/15246f5c-49d7-416d-b7bb-c9ec02c1a2ff/ARVET-001-HUMAN-3000x3000px.jpg Artist Impressum Human single https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/07d41503-a975-4724-9d00-d47093315316/Holon+EP+Cover+1500x1500.png Artist Impressum Holon EP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/a7ce25c0-1740-49a1-b601-c5efe998a0cb/Precursor+-+Antagonist+EP+Artwork+%5BUs+%26+Them+Records+UT053%5D.jpg Artist Impressum Antagonist EP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/ed551511-f8d6-4762-b0bd-3b9756dcda60/Precursor+-+Desire+%28BASSERK00132%29.jpg Artist Impressum Desire EP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/0a90af1d-0afa-4eb1-ba8d-721fa35e8cbd/Precursor_Wanderlust.png Artist Impressum Wanderlust album https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/18b0b93f-c738-4f15-8da4-279466cdec06/WhatsApp+Image+2022-11-04+at+11.52.32.jpeg Artist Impressum Insieme I + II together with Outis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/7879cb99-51dd-4165-8579-1b3d33de5114/ARVET-013-OPULENT-3000x3000px.jpg Artist Impressum Opulent + Remixes by Vessels, Random Notes https://www.precursor.studio/studio daily 0.75 2024-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/61c580aa-5689-41c7-88b3-5aee8409db3c/000012.jpg Studio - About the Precursor Studio My name is Quirijn Verhoog. I’m a producer, sound designer and mixing engineer operating from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I’ve always been a creative person and music has been my creative outlet since as long as I can remember. At age 5 I started playing the acoustic guitar and I was clasically trained for 7 years before I picked up an electric guitar for the first time. I played in bands and recorded guitar music as a teenager and discovered various ways to do so on the way. After my first trials with software like Propellorhead’s Reason and Cool Edit Pro I switched to Ableton and began to get more serious about music. Later I purchased my first synthesizer and the rest is history! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/0b927d55-38e8-4c8e-911e-43b77f011e62/DSCF3095.jpg Studio - How I create sounds I am very passionate about sound and that lead me to being really critical about the way that my music sounds. At the same time I am curious to experiment and learn. During my Master’s in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences I learned about the benefits of being thourough and precise. Since then, I’ve applied this way of thinking to my music resulting in clean and radio-ready mixes. Being comfortable with lab equipment also gave me the idea to start with modular synthesis which is now a huge part of my sound palette. This allowed me to be creative in ways that I could not begin to imagine before. These days I’m using a variety of hardware and software to create interesting sounds. The Precursor studio is home to a pair of 2.5-way nearfield monitors from Eve Audio and is treated with hand-made triple layered acoustic panels, as well as four massive wooden bass traps. Everything is set up to be plug-and-play and you can route the cables every which way. There is also a second, home listening environment with a pair of 3.5-way Audiovector speakers powered by a NAD amplifier. You can find a list of all the equipment I use below. https://www.precursor.studio/contact daily 0.75 2022-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/ed5b6282-1d65-465e-aa4b-0ca59fe2f38b/mixing.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/9351d58c-1289-4b1b-9b8b-5f643fe353a9/exposition.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/0aa537c8-2c0d-4575-9dee-8d46c240998f/feedback.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/73d97e07-885f-44fc-b2bf-2bf550ef7fe2/precursor+live.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/5f072a13-529e-4cd8-8d5e-591c6a9b4e2b/education.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/987a0c5a-7743-490f-b0ba-4e53aeb3341c/sound+design.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/398a79d5-15fe-436c-ba30-001515cdc22f/workshop.jpg Contact https://www.precursor.studio/shop daily 0.75 2022-06-02 https://www.precursor.studio/home daily 1.0 2024-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/71187005-5b3d-4335-b3ec-81e0ae6f3e5b/precursor_cinestill-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/9d16adab-2454-427e-a626-04ed1b6cc2e0/DSCF3082+%281%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/1647012102974-LVUZY8LAPNM7WOIGGUF6/003_live.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/1647012123990-K6DLFCYJ3T1DEQYLRQLI/17390847_1442559659148655_6955439668793948447_o.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/e9e3cc31-59cc-4051-b14e-ef9f9b3c89e2/arvet+logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/249191b0-841d-4926-8c9f-dd7f3bd919cd/asana+rebel+logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/00906071-13f9-438c-b054-a614d32a44a2/bieb+haarlem+logo+black.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/f21bd73f-2474-4ef7-aaec-cedc3ef23e3d/Precursor+Logo.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622b67e0f0d72f377097f6cc/5d098ef6-1432-43a4-b61c-b493353ec05a/Leiden+black.jpg Home
