It has often been said, “Speed, quality, price. Pick any two.”

At AllanTone Studios, you get it all. We understand that this is a very deadline-driven industry. So, we make it a point to turn your project around as quickly as possible.

“Fast” and “accurate” do not have to be mutually exclusive. We strive to meet or exceed your expectations in everything we do.

And it does not have to cost a fortune. Our pricing structure is refreshingly competitive.

AllanTone Studios brings to the table an over 40-year line of experience in all facets of audio production. From tens of thousands of automotive and retail-based spots, to award-winning campaigns, to recording and producing music with R&B artist Brian McKnight and Nashville writer/producer Robert Byrne, to telephone on-hold messages and prompts, to expertly edited music programs for numerous Olympic-class figure skaters, Allan and AllanTone Studios have provided superior audio production to thousands of satisfied clients from one end of the country to the other.

Besides his lengthy studio experience, Allan has also been a musician for over 50 years, culminating in being band manager at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. He also spent ten years as an adjunct professor at Pikes Peak Community College, teaching the finer points of audio production to many bright and promising upcoming engineers.

At AllanTone Studios, you’ll find world-class equipment, hardware and software to compliment your projects, backed by a lifetime of knowledge and intuition.

AllanTone Studios got its start over 25 years ago as Get Reel Productions, when the bulk of audio production was created on reel-to-reel tape machines, and edits were done with grease pencils, razor blades, and splicing tape. Owner/chief operator Allan Blackwell came from a lengthy background of radio broadcasting and production, having gravitated to studio work when he realized he liked the production room a lot more than the control room.

Times changed, techniques were refined, and equipment changed DRAMATICALLY! Tape is almost an “unknown” protocol in studios anymore (although we still have a couple of tape machines. Just in case.)

And here’s where the difference lies. Recording studio equipment used to be VERY expensive. For the casual recording novice, prohibitively expensive! The good news, and the BAD news is, now anybody with a couple thousand dollars but no experience in recording or signal flow can buy a computer, an acceptable microphone or two, and a pair of speakers, grab some free software like Garage Band, and go to work. Easy, right?

Not really!

It’s a well-established fact that any equipment, whether software or hardware, is only as good as the skillset behind the person using it! At AllanTone Studios, we have the best hardware and the software in the business, and we back it up with over four decades of real-world experience. Combine great tools with in-depth knowledge of the business, and true enthusiasm behind every project, and you have a winning combination. That’s what makes AllanTone Studios your best bet for all your audio production.

AllanTone Studios has produced tens thousands of commercials over the years, and we are ready to put our expertise to work for you. We employ what we like to call an “a la carte” approach. We can:

• Produce your radio spot or TV audio with our voice talent.
• Produce your spot with your voice talent. They can call us on Source Connect, or voice & email the file to us.
• Provide voice talent for you to produce at your facility.

We can hook up via Source Connect, Zoom, or phone patch so your session is conducted just as if you were right here in the studio with us.

We also understand that this is a deadline-driven industry, so quick turnaround is never a problem. Next-day is normal, but same-day is never out of the question. Our goal is to be that part of the chain that keeps your workflow moving.

Nothing establishes your identity like your own jingle, and it doesn't have to empty your pocketbook! We have access to some of the best writers and musicians in the industry and can create a jingle for your company in any style imaginable.

Jingle demos can be found in the Demos section below.

What do your customers hear when you put them on hold?

With a custom on-hold message from AllanTone Studios, your clients hear what you want them to hear...tell them more about your business, or current specials...driving directions...all wrapped up in the style of music that best fits your customers! We can provide the playback hardware, or if you already have a system, we can provide you with the correct media.

We are also able to extend this service to your phone prompts, so your clients hear the same voice on your auto attendant that they hear on your on-hold message.

Make sure your clients hear what you want them to hear when you place them on hold with an on-hold system from AllanTone Studios.

On Hold demos can be found in the Demos section below.

AllanTone Studios can help bring your musical project to life! We’ve done everything from recording solo artists with guitar accompaniment to full-fledged multi-instrument tracking, mixing, and mastering.

Notable past clients:

• Robert Byrne, Nashville producer/writer/artist
• Brian McKnight, top-selling R&B artist
• Flying W Wranglers, one of the world's oldest cowboy singing groups
• Barry Ward, Western/Gospel singer & songwriter; award winner with the International Western Music Association; the Academy of Western Artists; the Gospel Music Association; The Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame; and the Rural Roots Music Association.

And LOTS of local & regional artists, whose names we could certainly drop here, but you might not recognize them. Suffice it to say, our passion for music and constant pursuit of excellence will serve your project well!

Need session musicians? We have an extremely diverse talent base, and can likely cover whatever you need.

Got some old reel to reel tapes or cassettes laying around, and nothing to play them on?

Old out-of-print record albums you’d like to listen to? Good news! When everybody else in the world was getting rid of their old tape machines, we had the foresight to hang onto a couple of ours.

We can usually transfer your old tapes to a digital file, and create an MP3 disc, or a standard CD. (We say “usually” because there a lot of factors involved. How old are the tapes? How carefully were they stored?)

We’ll take projects like this on a case-by-case basis. If the tapes are so old they’ve glued themselves together, or are so brittle that every time you hit “play” the tape snaps, there’s not much we can do.

What we CAN’T do: change the “mix.” If there’s a lot of background noise, we can filter it to a certain degree, but making one element louder and another element softer is beyond the scope of most any software on the market. Also please be aware that it is not legal for us to transfer a commercially produced record or cassette tape to CD.

What we CAN do: Transfer what’s on the tape or album, clean it up to the best degree we can, then make CDs or even MP3 flash drives.

Pricing is based solely on the time it takes. Please contact us so we can discuss your needs.
