We have never offered our facilities
and intellectual resources at such a low rate before, but... we're looking
for talent to develop! In our opinion, the industry is "underperforming" in true talent development, and we're willing to lower
our rates to find gifted artists. It is our hope that this rate reduction will make accessible our world-class facilities
to the unsigned artist. also:

From its inception, Stirling Sound, Inc., located in
Clearwater, Minnesota, has focused on the symbiotic relationship between the creative
and technical aspects of audio production and recording. From concept through completion,
we recognize the need to be a "one-stop" sound source, so as to maintain creative and technical continuity for the
client's audio recording project. Another foundational principle of Stirling Sound, Inc. is to provide cost-effective service without compromising the integrity of the end product.
Our creative and technical team, guided by the diverse experience of Rik Stirling (President), seeks out alternative solutions to nearly every aspect of production and design. We see "usual and customary"
as a very dangerous place to rest when it comes to the ever changing creative, technical, and fiscal demands of the current
marketplace in the audio recording/production industry.
VISA/MASTERCARD/DISCOVER are now available for payment.
Our production/recording facilities have been designed to offer the most creative and inspiring environment possible. If you're the type of
client that needs to immerse yourself in a recording project, we offer full on-site residence with 3 bedrooms (with sleeping accommodations for 13), a private kitchen and living area, private bath, private laundry facilities,
etc., all nestled on 8 acres with 360 ft. of recreational lakeshore, an indoor pool with spa, and all of the recreational
amenities that go along with a clean recreational lake in Minnesota. All of this within
minutes of St. Cloud, MN, and a short drive to the Twin Cities.
The recording studios
and control rooms are acoustically sound and ergonomically friendly, and were designed to handle virtually any audio production/recording. We have the technical tools and talent needed for today's demanding productions.
We offer complete audio recording/production packages that include full on-site
residence with 3 bedrooms (accommodates 13), a private kitchen, living room, bath, laundry facility, etc. on 8-acres with
360 ft. of recreational lakeshore, and an in-door pool with spa.
~At the studio's core is Pro Tools HD/Expanded
with a long list of plugins, a 48- fader Pro Control control surface with an extensive list of preamps, microphones, a LARGE recording studio with two
smaller recording rooms for great flexibility in tracking, and expanded post-production capabilities with appropriate video
monitoring.
We offer "weekend" packages in addition to discount package pricing. Of course, our
existing recording studio built in 1995 (now referred to as Studio B) will remain intact and a part of the overall Stirling
experience here in Minnesota.
We will work with any artist to give form to their creative ideas….
we can accommodate packages from full production to mastering, and anything in-between. For example, you may have a
digital recording system to capture your ideas, but do not have the expertise to bring things “to the next level”.
We can accommodate your needs, working with your recordings, or instructing you as to how you can get the best recordings
with your system and refining things at Stirling, saving you expense where it will not compromise your artistry.
We've completed production of
sound design for a No Greater Joy Ministries animation of their "Good and Evil" project, along with tracking Fergie Frederiksen (see our testimonials page)
for Italian artist Myland. In addition, we completed production on Arlis Feser's work "Surrender" .
We're very excited to be a part of these releases, and will have samples on-line soon! We've produced numerous other projects
that we will link and detail on our site as things progress.
*We offer on-site optical duplication at our Facility! We feature a BRAVO XR CD/DVD duplicator and printer
to assist you with duplication and screening of your CDs and DVDs. We specialize in shorter run duplication (25-250 units), and can duplicate DVD and CD
optical storage in any file format.
