Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Our clients rave about not only the quality our work, but the excellent communication and personal service we provide that make your project enjoyable. Your audio projects are in great hands..., or should we say ears. Steve has thirty years experience recording, editing, mixing and mastering and producing high quality audio. Your irreplaceable home videos will also be in good hands because we know how important our family memories are to us. We handle your tapes as if they were our own, taking pride in our work and taking every measure to ensure the safekeeping of your tapes. Over 50% of our business comes from returning happy customers. Having grown up in a family of musicians I have a great appreciation for impeccable sound. I love working with musicians from all walks of life and helping them preserve their artistry in the highest quality demos, EP's, and digital media. We believe that preservation of family history is important for every family. Many people have stacks of old video tapes lying around that are rarely, if ever played. These tapes typically only last 15 years or so even when stored under the best conditions. The longer you wait to transfer your tapes to DVD, the greater the chance that your tape could become damaged and or unplayable. Don't let this happen to you. DVD is an excellent medium for storage of your home videos. Although not indestructible, a DVD can be played thousands of times without deteriorating its condition or degrading the quality of playback.

Steve has been our audio engineer since Bible StorySongs first began in 2004. Since we were bringing children to the studio, we wanted an experienced audio engineer who was also mature, professional and friendly that kids and parents would feel comfortable around. Steve was a perfect match! He understands what we are trying to achieve and is always adding more value to our productions through his expert contributions. We were thrilled to discover that Steve was not only a professional audio engineer - but also an experienced and highly trained singer/musician who could play guitar and help us out with complex added musical arrangements! Often times he coaches the singers on the best way to sing a certain phrase of the song. We’re a great team! Our experience with Steve has been as good as it gets. We are currently working on our next Bible StorySongs album and are always looking forward to getting in the studio and working with him! It’s been 10 years, 12 albums and counting!

I've worked on a number of projects with Steve. It's rare to find someone with his technical and creative skills in one person. Quick turnaround and enjoyable to work with.

Having spent two years recording a CD at "Applause AV", I highly recommend it to everyone. Steve Mark is the consummate professional; highly skilled and personally invested. The studio is comfortable and the equipment, state-of-the-art. Be sure to consider "Applause AV" for your next project.

Our quartet, Joyful Sound, has recorded one CD with Applause Audio Video and we are currently working on our second. We have been more than pleased with the quality of work that Steve does. He is such a professional but at the same time takes the stress out of recording. He has given us excellent advice and feedback. We have recommended him to several people and recommend him without any reservations.

    Work with the most experienced professional you can. Cheap hourly studio rates don't necessarily mean you'll pay less for your project.

This eliminates the possibility of your tapes being lost or damaged in the mail.
