Timberholme Recordings is located in British
Columbia's beautiful Campbell Valley. The studio is a dream
of Tim's that has taken years to come true. It is surrounded
by trees, fields and streams, making it a wonderful place
for recording. This peaceful atmosphere infuses the music
with a spiritual quality; a sincere appeal to the heart and
mind. The utmost care is taken in the recording of Tim's voice
and many guitars as well as all other instruments. High quality
mics from the hi-fi tube days of the 1950's and as well as
the latest 21st Century gear is used in concert to achieve
our goal of sonic perfection and to make Tim's recordings
an aural soundscape to get lost in.
Timberholme's studio is constantly being upgraded with state-of-the-art
technology. The studio uses Digidesign’s
ProTools systems running on Apple’s
G5 computers recording to internal and external hard disks.
The main recording system is Pro Tools HD3 which is a high
quality 24 bit system with the ability to record at sample
rates up to 192 kHz. These systems provide far more resolution
and fidelity than the current Compact Disc standard. Various
software 'plug-ins' are used by companies like Antares, DUY,
and Waves. These software emulations can replace what used
to be racks full of dozens of heavy pieces of equipment all
needing to be connected with hundreds of metres of wire. Now
a couple of PCI cards inside a computer do the work of all
that and much more.
Another Studio feature is a rare "Neumann
U47" microphone. Its special timbre is evident
in the warm tones of Tim's single release "Only
Those."
