The digital age has produced a side variety of powerful and at times quirky software tools for editing music. Through our years of recording and editing, Crayonmaster® has developed a deep understanding of many Pro Tools procedures that are essential to editing and production.

Regardless of the gear, we've always managed to get the most out of each session. Now that we have some of the best tools around for recording music, we still scratch and claw to get the very best for every song. Crayonmaster® will bring that level of focus and attention to detail into your session, too. If you want the most out of your tracks, you've found the place.
